EPIZOOTIC SITUATION ON INFECTIONS AND INFESTATIONS IN SHEEP

Abstract

An analysis of the results of statistical reporting on the morbidity of zooanthroponotic diseases in small ruminants showed that in the region, due to following the provisions of interdepartmental sectoral programs for the health protection of farm animals, a stable sanitary and epidemiological control of infections and infestations, which are common to
humans and animals is maintained.
The described in the article epizootological review of the infectious and parasitic pathologies of small ruminants in the farms of various forms of ownership of the Stavropol Territory for 2020-2021 is collected and systematized, replenishing the analytical information of
the regional epizootic state. The presented observations serve as the basis for simulation modeling of the experimental course of the epizootic process, the processing and generalization of
which makes it possible to comprehensively examine the predisposing risk factors that provoke the expansion of the infectious process, which is of increased research interest.
The report presents the observation of the livestock of sheep and goats in 2021 compared to 2020. Due to the decrease in the number of small ruminants by 17,87%, in 2021,
compared to 2020, the volume of manipulations was reduced: the number of animal vaccinations decreased by 2,97%, the number of treatments decreased by 12,03%, and the number of
dehelminthizations of small ruminants decreased by 15,76%, however, the number of laboratory tests increased by 6,37%.
In 2021, compared to 2020, there were 5,69 % fewer small cattle, which were vaccinated with the brucellosis vaccine, however, diagnostic studies were carried out by 15,53 %
more. For the presence of leptospirosis in the region, the number of examined and vaccinated
heads of small ruminants decreased by 15,8 % and 20,12 %, respectively. The number of vaccinations against FMD decreased by 5,1%. At 100 % coverage of the livestock, the number of
anthrax vaccinations decreased by 6.99 % and the number of vaccinated animals against
sheep and goat pox decreased by 8,63 %. The number of unfavorable centers for animal rabies
decreased by 65 %. Due to forced immunization, the number of animals, treated against rabies, increased by 230,98 %.
In 2021, in the Stavropol Territory, despite the trend towards a slight decrease in the
level of vaccination, the coverage of the sheep population reached 100 %
