METHOD FOR PREVENTING OMPHALITIS IN CALVES Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61K31/245 A61K31/7036 A61K39/08 

FIELD: veterinary science.

SUBSTANCE: down-calving cows 1.5 mo before calving should be immunized with vaccine "Coli-Vac K99" at an interval of 15 d against animal escherichiosis. The first dosage corresponds to 10 cu. cm, and the second one - 15 cu. cm, and simultaneously it is necessary to inject intramuscularly Selecor preparation for calves at the dosage of 10 mcg/kg body weight. Calves born in such cows should be injected once intramuscularly with Selecor for 2-4 h after their birth at the dosage of 10 mcg/kg body weight and along with visceral novocain blockade: one should apply warm (38-40°C) 0.5%-novocain solution into Janet's syringe at the rate of 1 ml/kg animal's body weight to dissolve 300 thousand units streptomycin in it. The innovation suggested increases inspecific body resistance and creates more tense specific immunity.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of prophylaxis.
