Country
Viet Nam
Description
[Synopsis]
Six littermate pigs weighing approximately 40 kg from the Experimental Animal Farm of Can Tho University were used. They were positive for the A. suum eggs. Group 1 consisted of 3 pigs treated with 1 mL per 15 kg of Polystrongyle (injectable form Tetramizole hydrochloride France). Group 2 consisted of 3 untreated control pigs. Their body weight was checked biweekly for 12 weeks. In 3 pigs of treated group, adults of A. suum were eliminated within a few days after treatment. However, since A. suum eggs were found again 6 weeks later, treatment was resumed. The growth of treated pigs which reached a weight of 80 kg was shortened at least by 2 weeks compared with the untreated pigs. According to a piece of data in Vietnam, it is calculated that increased income was about 25,000 Don Vietnam (about US$ 2.0)per head in an experimental farm.
