[Blood concentrations of sulfadimidine after the internal use of depot sulfadimezine granules in sheep].

A granular premixed form, called sulphadimesin-depot-granules, was produced, containing 40% of sulphadimine inserted into a hydrophobic matrix of hydrogeneric sunflower oil. After a single internal insertion into sheep by means of a stomach-tube or of a bottle on an empty stomach in a dose of 0.5 g/kg t, they caused bacteriostatic concentrations in blood plasma during 78 hours, and in a dose of 1.0 g/kg t--during 96 hours, whereas the sulphadimesin in tablets, applied in a dose of 0.2g/kg t, kept up a therapeutic concentration for 24 hours. The duration of the bacteriostatic level of sulphadimesin after the taking of the granules in a dose of 0.5 g/kg t and after the feeding, was 12 hours; after two treatment with a stomach-tube or of a bottle, on an empty stomach, in an initial dose of 1.0 g/kg t and a following one of 0.5 g/kg t, applied after a period of 96 hours--it was 174 hours. No side phenomena were observed, besides a temporary (for 12-24 h) slight slow-down of belly movements. For a prophylactic treatment of sheep it is recommended that the granules should be applied in the fodder and on an empty stomach, in an initial dose of 1.0 g/kg t, and 72 hours later in a dose of 0.5 g/kg t. For a curative treatment an internal insertion is recommended by means of a stomach-tube or of a bottle, on an empty stomach, in the same doses, at an interval of 96 hours.

[Toxicological studies of Bulgarian activated bentonite].

We studied the endurance of calves, lambs and pigs as well as the acute, subchronic and chronic toxicity for chickens with regard to bentonite of local origin, extra activated in a physico-chemical way. It was proved that the medicine was rather endurable with calves, lambs and pigs without causing intoxication or death after a single internal introduction in doses respectively 4138, 4130 and 1860 mg/kg t. LD0 of the activated bentonite for the chickens in the case of intra-crop application was over 18000 mg/kg t. During a 33-day extra addition to the fodder of chickens in quantities of 2 and 6% and during a 90-day introduction into concentrations 1, 3 and 5% the activated bentonite and not provoke any changes in the behaviour, overall state and in the clinical biochemical and electrolytic composition (Ca, P, K, Na) of the blood, but it caused suppression of growth ranging from 6 to 27% and brought about a higher expenditure of food for a single growth unit ranging from 4.7 to 12.1%. This was also observed when it was added to the morning ration of pigs in doses 1 and 5% (6 and 30 d/pig) without any influence over the health state of the pigs, but it slowed down growth ranging from 17.2 to 21.3% and a lower utilization of the fodder taken by 19 to 26%.

[Immunosuppressive activity of several drugs and their effect on antibody formation in pullorum disease].

Furazolidon given alone or in combination with chloramphenicol, with spectinomycin, with gentamycin or with sodium arsenilate as well as chlorpyrazine, applied alone, suppress the clinical manifestation of pullorum disease in birds both in the experimental and in the spontaneous outbreak of the disease. These medicinal drugs lower the production of agglutinins in birds--mostly the combination furazolidon+chloramphenicol, followed by furazolidon+sodium arsenilate. The same combinations do not prove essentially effective in influencing the development of the morphologic lesions and do not fully exempt the body from the causative agent of pullorum disease.

[Effectiveness of sodium arsamilate and its effect on the immunity of hens experimentally infected with Borrelia anserina].

The toxicity of sodium arsanilate for chickens was determined following a six-day oral application. Doses higher than 0.15/kg body weight led to symptoms of intoxication and death, especially when the intake of water was restricted. No spirochetemia, clinical signs of spirochetosis, and death cases were noted in birds infected subcutaneously with a lethal dose of Borrelia anserina simultaneously treated (orally) in the course of three days with sodium arsanilate either in solution or in tablets rated 0.05 -0.15/kg or in the drinking water at 0.4--0.5/1 for four days beginning one day prior to infection. Symptoms of the disease were observed in the birds of the control group only. On the second day after the infection the effectiveness of sodium arsanilate proved as high as 95 per cent, and on the third day--75 percent It was found that the agent had a relatively short-term prophylactic action. The chickens acquired immunity at the simultaneous application of sodium arsanilate and a culture of Borrelia anserina. Sodium arsanilate was shown not to affect the building of postvaccinal immunity in birds in the case of Borrelia anserina infection.

[Nutritive action of flavophospholipol and virginiamycin on broiler pullets].

Studied were some of the aspects of the antibiotic treatment with flavophospholipol (moenomycin) as the preparation flavomycin, and virginiamycin (staphylomycin) as the preparation escalin in a premix form as an animal formula. It was found that the antibiotics tested acted as nutrients: they had a positive effect on the growth and feed conversion. They raised the production of meat and improved the quality of the meat product in terms of higher protein and mineral contents. They also influenced favorably the deposition of cyanocobalamin in the liver, the RNA: DNA ratio in the liver and pancreas, and the content of blood proteins. These antibiotics did not lead to the retention of residual amounts in the muscles and viscera. Both preparations proved useful for the practice. Flavophospholipol is of interest thanks to its easier dosing and positive effect on the cyanocobalamin and ubichinon deposition in the liver and partly as its stimulative action.

[Possible synergic action of some drug combinations against Mycoplasma gallisepticum].

Yamamoto and Adler's method (1956), making use of the modified medium of Edward, was employed to determine the minimal concentrations of gentamicin (GMC), erytrhomycin (ERM), oleandomycin (OMC) spectinomycin (SPM), tetracycline (TC), tylosin (TLS), and chloramphenicol (CA), all of them showing bactericidal effects on Mycoplasma gallisepticum-S6, applied alone or in combination. In vitro studies showed that relatively most effective were TLS, GMC, and SPM, when used alone. Combining the antibiotics by two in the most cases led to a pronounced synergic effect. Comparatively most effective were the combinations of TLS+ERM; TLS+TC; CA+TC; CA+OMC; TLS+CA; TLS+OMC; SPM+TC; and SPM+CA. Lowest absolute concentrations of the individual components showed the combinations of TLS+GMC; TLS+TC; TLS+ERM; TLS+CA; TLS+SPM; TLS+OMC; SPM+TC; and SPM+CA.
