Abstract

The invasion of small cattle by moniezio-sis in the Russian Federation occurs every-where and causes great economic damage to sheep farms, leading to the death of lambs and to decrease of meat and wool quality. In lambs infected with monieziosis, there is a lack in weight gain of 1.5 – 3 kg, as well as a decrease in the production of quality wool from a sheep to one kilogram. Damage from intestinal helminthozises, in particular ces-todosis, leads to death and forced slaughter, poor-quality wool and non-viable offspring. The dynamics of the epizootological process, patterns of the spread and course of the inva-sion in the North Caucasus region remain poorly studied, especially of the intestinal cestodes, namely monieziosis of small cat-tle. Taking into account the climate condi-tions of the Chechen Republic, and the lack of the knowledge of invasion, it is nec-essary to study natogeorgia and species com-position of causative agents of monieziosis of small ruminants, particularly sheep. The purpose of our research was to study the ecology and prevalence of monieziosis of sheep of different age groups in the plains of the Chechen Republic, to identify the species and age groups of monieziosis. In the flat areas of the Chechen Republic, infection with monieziosis determines the ecological balance of the parasitic structures of the ces-todes. The extensiveness and intensity of M. exports are compared with M. benedeni more. In lowland farms, lambs of small cat-tle have an EI of 12.9 – 16.7% with an EI of 2.2 ECZ / head.; young animals 9.1-11.1% and 2.1 ex/head.; in sheep, 4, 9 – 6.1% and 1.0-1.3 ex / head. EI M. benedeni lambs 7,3 – 8,1, AI-1,2 – 1,3 ex/goal.; young EI-5.6 -6.5% II-1ekz / goal. M. expansa was not found in mature sheep. In lowland areas, sheep monieziosis is observed with focal prevalence in all the farms studied by us during the year.
