Efecto de dos dosis de dióxido de cloro en el control de hematuria enzoótica bovina en la zona de Sambotambo

Abstract

The present study investigates the effect of two doses of chlorine dioxide as control, focusing on bovine cattle with enzootic hematuria. The main objective of the research is to determine the effect of two doses of chlorine dioxide in controlling bovine enzootic hematuria in the Sambotambo area. An experimental study was conducted using an intentional or convenience sample of 15 animals. Treatments T1 and T2 showed no significant variation in efficacy for controlling EHB; however, an alteration was observed in treatment 3 (control treatment), leading to the dismissal of chlorine dioxide as an effective treatment for the disease. Furthermore, it was found that animals managed semi-stabled presented less intoxication with llashipa compared to those managed by grazing. It is concluded that chlorine dioxide did not prove to be effective as a control in the treatment of bovine enzootic hematuria in the Sambotambo area. It is suggested to opt for a change in the cattle management system to semi-stabled or stabled to improve the control of llashipa intoxication as the next step in research.
