Protect a fur small animal from a hemorrhagic illness

In a selection detailed information on is given how to save rabbits from a hemorrhagic illness.

Rabbit breeding – important branch of a narodyony economy, which obespechiva­et the population valuable dietary meat and raw materials for fur izdeyoliya. Rabbits use as laboyoratorny model for studying of razyolichny questions on physiology, an imyomunobiologiya, medicine and a veteriyonariya, and also for manufacturing and control of quality of biological preparations.

These small animals have various inyofektsionny diseases, from kotoyory the most dangerous is the virus hemorrhagic illness (GBQ). This vysokokontagiozny disease hare which sharply passes and is characterized by the expressed viremiya, necrotic changes of a liver, a fever, high incidence and smertnos­tyu (to 90 %), thereby putting heavy economic losses xo­zyaevam which contain rabbits, and to the rabbit breeding also.

The hemorrhagic illness is very widespread in Europe and America. Clinically the disease isn’t shown almost. During external os­motra it is almost impossible otli­chit a healthy rabbit from the patient. At certain animals it is possible nablyu­dat insignificant oppression, refusal of a forage, allocation from a nasal poyolost for 1 – 2 day to death and povysheyony body temperatures to 40,8°S in 12-36 hours prior to death. Outwardly zdoyorovy rabbit does some sudoyorozhny movements by paws and perishes. 

Spring and autumn and winter seasonality of a disease is observed. An activator source yavlyayut­sya sick rabbits and what already have. Factors pere­dachi infections can be a stern, a laying, manure, and also skins and production from unsuccessful farms on GBQ.

To a virus are susceptible and rabbits are ill only. Adults zhivotyony, mass of 3-3,5 kg, irrespective of breed and a floor are most sensitive to it. Further they infect rabbits of all age groups. Krolchata to 40-day age are unreceptive to a vozbuyoditel under a condition if the krolematka was vaccinated.

During pathoanatomical research of a corpse of a rabbit which was lost from GBQ, the main viyodimy changes find in a liver. It is filled with blood, uve­lichena, is easily torn, has red-brown defeats with sites of yellow color (till 5 o’clock). In 5-6 hours after death a liver pri­obretaet a dense consistence and light brown cve­t. The spleen can be increased in 1,5-2 times, dark and cherry cve­ta. Lungs are filled with blood, seroyovato-pink in a cut, from prosve­tov bronchial tubes the red zhidyokost flows down. Heart is filled with clots of the curtailed blood. Limfouzla juicy, grayish-pink coloring.

Danger of fast and znachitelyyony distribution of an illness compels to resort to a preventive vaktsinayotsiya. For this purpose use a vaccine against a virus hemorrhagic illness of rabbits of production by Sumy Gosuyodarstvenna biofactories which, according to scientific researches, doesn’t concede on quality to sootyovetstvuyushchy foreign samples.

Rabbits immunize from 1,5-meyosyachny age. In neblagopoluchyony points clinically healthy rabbits are subject to an inoculation tol­ko. A vaccine enter intramuscularly, odyonovremenno a dose of 0,5 cm3 into a site of an average third of a hip with observance of rules of an asepsis. Immunity formi­ruetsya at rabbits for the third days also lasts not less than 7 months. In case of vaccination of animals which naxo­dilis in the incubatory period, their death for the first four days is possible.

The vaccine needs to be bought in litsenyozionny drugstores or at a predpriyayotiya – the producer (Sumy, Gayomaliya St., 25, the Sumy biofactory, ph. 210065) and to keep at tempe­rature 4-10°S. It is forbidden pri­menyat a vaccine, an expiration date kotoyory ended or the temperature mode of storage was broken.

We wish you to listen to nayoshy councils and to reach successes in cultivation of a fluffy small animal.
