Evaluation of the Properties of Healing of the Extract of Kombucha in Sheep in Growth with Malnutrition, Parasitocis and Respiratory Problems

Abstract

With the objective to\revaluate the properties, curatives of kombucha extract as an alternative\rtreatment were used; 20 sheep creoles weaned with stunting, respiratory\rdiseases, parasitic and malnutrition were divided into control and experiment n\r= 10 groups; the first one was administered by ivermectin 1% (2 mg/kg) subcutaneous, with a reinforcement of closantel\r5% (0.5 mg/kg) by oral route and enrofloxacin at 5% (3 mg/kg) intramuscularly\rfor three consecutive days and the second group by oral route 20 ml of extract\rkombucha per animal each three days for about 4 months, was weighed at the\rbeginning of each month; clinical tests were conducted and statistical data\rindicated no significant differences in weight gain 30.370 kg/p control, 31.290,\r3.503 kg/p experimentally, some showed small differences in blood\rsamples and in stool tests for example, control ended with Eimeria 1.00 ± 0.00, creatinine, 0.17 ± 0.04 mg/dl, uric acid 23.20\r5.37 ± mg/dl, 46.12 ± 4.70 MCV, 7.21 ± 0.25 g/dl total protein, 38.20 10.06 ± 1.40\rand segmented neutrophils ±1.07, and on the other hand the experimental in\rerythrocytes present 9783000.00 ± 1036072.17 million, in hemoglobin 13.43 ± 0.51\rg/dl, hematocrit 38.87 ± 2.13, and platelet 422320.000 ± 52442.578 thousands. Both\rgroups did not exceed normal parameters, however, physically the experimental\ranimals were better and had no parasites or respiratory problems as opposed to\rcontrols.
