EXPERIMENTING TREATMENT REGIMENS FOR PIGS INFECTED, PIGS CAUSED BY PORCINE CYSTICERCOSIS AND THEIR CLINAL SIGNS IN FIELD RESEARCH

Abstract

A study is conducted to test the treatment protocol for Cysticercosis in infected pigs and pigs caused by Cysticercosis in certain districts of Son La and Dien Bien provinces. The study involved a total of 20 experimental pigs, including 15 infected pigs for testing the treatment regimen and 5 control pigs. Serum samples from 24 pigs were tested using the ELISA Kit to determine positive results in the field in Son La and Dien Bien provinces. The efficacy of Cysticercosis treatment regimen was determined by examining the infected pigs through surgery on days 11, 12, 13, 14, and the 15th day after treatment. The viability of larvae in the bovine bile was examined to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment regimen. The treatment results for the infected pigs showed that in treatment regimens I and II, 4 out of 5 pigs tested negative, and in treatment protocol III, all 5 pigs tested negative, while all 5 pigs in the control group tested positive. After 30 days of treatment, the percentage of pigs with positive serum in Son La province was 81.82%, and it was 90.32% in Dien Bien province.
