CYSTICERCUS TENUICOLLIS OF SHEEP IN THE REPUBLIC OF DAGESTAN AND THE VOLGOGRAD REGION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

Cysticercus tenuicollis (= fine-necked) is a widespread disease in many countries around the world, including in the Russian Federation. However, this disease remains insufficiently studied in the regional aspect, especially in the current newly formed economic conditions for the development of livestock farms in the country, which has become the goal of our work.Objective: to study the distribution of Cysticercus tenuicollis in some areas of the Republic of Dagestan and the Volgograd region of Russia. The work was carried out in one of the slaughterhouses of the Moscow region farm complex. Post-mortem veterinary-sanitary inspection for the detection of fine-intestinal cysticercus in slaughter sheep was carried out according to the "Rules for veterinary inspection of slaughter animals and veterinary-sanitary examination of meat and meat products" dated 06.17.1988. As a result of the conducted research, it was found out that in Akushinskiy district of the Republic of Dagestan with Cysticercosis tenuicollis were infected: 21 sheep from the batch of 486 slaughter sheep and 8 sheep from another batch of 400 slaughter sheep in the same region of the republic. And from the Pallas district of the Volgograd region, 6 sheep from the examined 243 slaughter sheep were infected with Cysticercus tenuicollis. Extensive invasion of Cysticercus tenuicollisinfection was in the Republic of Dagestan, respectively: 4.32% and 2.0%, and in the Pallas district of the Volgograd region: 2.5%. The data of the veterinary service of the slaughter were also taken into account, according to which in the Gunibskiy district of the Republic of Dagestan 19 sheep from 1,660 slaughtered sheep were infected Cysticercus tenuicollis with an extensive invasion of 2.5% and 40 sheep from 1,926 slaughtered sheep from the Pallas district of the Volgograd region with an extensive invasion of 2.07%. The results of Cysticercus tenuicollis infection of slaughter sheep from the Republic of Dagestan and from the Pallas district of the Volgograd region of Russia showed that farms with a registered tenuikol cysticercosis should be carried out more thoroughly against organizational invasions.
