Journal Title: Бюлетень "Ветеринарна біотехнологія" - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue
Abstract
Introduction. Conservation of biodiversity in natural and transformed ecosystems under anthropogenic influence is one of the priorities of the modern population and applied ecology. Of particular urgency is the issue in hunting, which is the object of economic activity of wild animals population, including ungulates. To date, in the economies of individual users of hunting grounds there is an increase in the number and density of hoofed animals population network of farms for their maintenance under captive and semi-free conditions is developing. The study of species composition, distribution and biological characteristics of helminths will facilitate scientific reasonable control of epizootic situation and the development of effective disease prevention measure. The goal of the work. To analyze and generalize data on species composition and distribution of helminths fauna of wild ungulates. To study the potential risks for hunting farms on the appearance of new species of helminths caused by species invaders. Materials and methods. During studies we analyzed available, literature including conference proceedings, papers in scientific journals, books, monographs and abstracts of dissertations, electronic resources in the Internet. Results of research and discussion. We analyzed the ways of helminth spreading among the certain animal species and the role of human activities is under the process. It is noted that on the formation of the helminths fauna composition in wild ungulates are effects next major factors: the size and density of animals population, the intensity of livestock grazing, the presence of intermediate hosts of helminths, soil types and phytocenosis composition. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Further studies will be used to develop methods of deworming wild hoofed animals in semi-free maintenance, methods of disinfection including feeding.
