Abstract
The purpose of the research is evaluating the efficacy of complex therapy using dironet, lactobifadol and keratin food supplement (DLK) against toxascariosis of the arctic fox.Materials and methods. To determine the helminth fauna in the conditions of Vyatka Fur Breeding Farm, 61 females silver fox and 55 females voilevoy arctic fox were used as study objects. To conduct complex therapy against toxascariosis, the study object was 24 females culled from the breeding herd, spontaneously infected with toxascariosis and being clinically healthy. The morphological and biochemical blood parameters in female foxes were determined before and after dehelminthization, and control weighing of animals from experimental groups was carried out before and after the experiment.Results and discussion. Of the studied 116 fur-bearing animals, 26 (22.4%) were infected with Toxascaris leonina. Infection rate of Toxascaris sp. in silver fox females aged 5–7 years was 42.6% when 7-9 eggs were found in one microscope field (magnification 7 × 9). Infection with Toxascaris sp. affects on the body weight of infected animals. The females silver fox from the second experimental group infected with Toxascaris sp., which were not treated, had an average live weight of 1.3 kg less (16.6%) as compared to the control. The complex therapy with the DLK treatment-and-prophylactic complex contributed to the improved metabolic processes and digestion. The applicability of the DLK treatment-and-prophylactic complex for therapy against toxascariosis was proved.

Summary
Комплексная терапия при токсаскариозе песцов серебристых клеточного содержания Андрей Петрович Коновалов 1, Ирина Игоревна Цепилова 2, Федор Иванович Василевич 3. Цель исследований: оценка эффективности комплексной терапии с использованием диронета, лактобифадола и кератина кормового (ДЛК) при токсаскариозе песцов серебристых. Определяли морфологические и биохимические показатели крови у самок песцов до и после дегельминтизации, а также проводили контрольное взвешивание зверей всех подопытных групп до и после эксперимента. Зараженность токсаскарисами самок песца серебристого в возрасте 5–7 лет составила 42,6% при обнаружении в одном поле зрения микроскопа Зараженные токсаскарисами самки песца серебристого второй опытной группы, не подвергавшиеся лечению, имели живую массу, в среднем, на 1,3 кг меньше (16,6%) по сравнению с контролем. Комплексная терапия с применением лечебно-профилактического комплекса ДЛК способствовала нормализации обменных процессов и процесса пищеварения. Доказана целесообразность применения лечебно-профилактического комплекса ДЛК для терапии при токсаскариозе.
