The efficacy of a complex preparation (based on the antiprotozoal drug metronidazole) for treating associative course of cryptosporidiosis and colibacteriosis at a dose of 35 mg/kg and of the antibacterial drug levomicetine at a dose of 25 mg/kg is studied. Experiments were conducted on 110 calves with diarrhea signs. A complex preparation was administered to 75 animals of experimental group twice a day for 3–4 days. 35 calves of the control group were treated with antibiotics within 6–7 days according to the standard schedule. On the third day after treatment with the complex preparation the number of cryptosporidium oocysts in feces has been decreased, clinical status of calves has been improved, appetite restored, cattles recovered. Therapeutic efficacy of the complex preparation applied for treating associative course of cryptosporidiosis and colibacteriosis made 96,0 %, and of the base preparation – 88,5 %. Course of treatment with the complex preparation has been reduced up to 3–4 days instead of 6–7 days when using a standard preparation.
Keywords: calves, cryptosporidiosis, colibacteriosis, treatment, complex preparation, levomicetine, metronidazole, efficacy.
