RESUMO

Background: Respiratory tract diseases are commonly seen in beef cattle. Young calves are affected with many respiratory pathogens. Viral pathogens are particularly seen. There are many causative factors, e.g. environmental conditions, immune system of calves. Therefore, alternative treatments are needed for viral respiratory infections. The purpose of the current study was to investigate effectiveness of Umckaloabo/EPs®7630 liquid extract in some bovine viral pathogens of young beef calves.Materials, Methods & Results: Antibody presence in terms of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1), bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV-3), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAV-3) was searched in blood serum samples of 40 Holstein calves aged 6 months and over showing respiratory tract infection symptoms. All animals were found seronegative in terms of other factors except BRSV. Out of 20 BRSV seropositive calves, 10 of them were classified as control group and the other ten as testing group. BRSV antibody titers were also detected in blood samples of both groups on day 0. Umckaloabo/EPs®7630 liquid extract was given through oral route to animals in testing group according to their weights for 14 days morning, noon and night. No application was performed on animals in control group. BRSV antibody titers were detected in blood samples of animals in both groups taken on days 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th and 14th. At the end of day 14th, BRSV antibody titer increased in 9 out of 10 animals (90%) in testing group that were given Umckaloabo/EPs® 7630 liquid extract while one of them (10%) showed no variability. BRSV antibody titer increased in 6 out of 10 animals (60%) in control group while it decreased in one of them (10%) and 3 of them (30%) showed no variability.[...]
