Abstract
The purpose of the research is to develop a group treatment method for paramphistomosis in sheep using Fascocid granules containing micronized bentonite powder (25-60 µm) with concentrated feed.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted in 2025 at a laboratory for the study of infective diseases of farm animals and poultry. The subjects were 140 Dagestan Mountain Merino sheep aged 1-4 years, weighing 55–65 kg. Fecal samples from the experimental groups were analyzed, as well as gastrointestinal tract samples from sheep arriving at the ShamkhalTyube slaughterhouse. The development and testing of a method for treating paramphistomosis by group feeding fascocide granules mixed with micronized powder of the natural mineral bentonite (25–60 µm particle size) with concentrated feed was conducted at the Agrofirm Chokh farm in the Gunibsky District and on winter pastures in the Kumtorkalinsky District.
Results and discussion.The study demonstrated the high efficacy of the combination product Fascocide granules and micronized bentonite powder against paramphistomosis in sheep with concentrated feed – 94.52% when fed in groups. This method of administering the anthelmintic, especially in pasture-based livestock farming, offers several advantages, such as reduced production stress, material costs, and time required for preventive measures.
