Abstract

FIELD: methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases by means of reflexotherapy, can be used, for example, for diagnosis of latent endometritis of cows. SUBSTANCE: at the day of cow's estrus before insemination the electric resistance of the skin of cows in the "kai-fun" biologically active point between the fourth and fifth sacral vertebral along the medium line at the positive and negative potentials. The presence and absence of latent endometritis are diagnosed at a difference in the indices of the positive and negative potentials exceeding 20%. EFFECT: facilitated procedure.

Description

 The invention relates to methods for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases by means of reflexology and can be used, for example, for the diagnosis of latent endometritis of cows.

 It is very difficult to diagnose latent endometritis with clinical research methods, as subclinical or latent, endometritis a type of chronic endometritis proceeds without pronounced clinical signs. The rhythm of the reproductive cycles of cows in most cases is not violated, but despite repeated insemination, animals are not fertilized.

 Known methods for diagnosing latent endometritis of cows are either complex and time-consuming, or expensive, because they require the implementation of expensive drugs such as prostaglandin. In addition, the known methods do not allow for early diagnosis. Meanwhile, early diagnosis of latent endometritis will reduce the losses from this disease and give a significant economic effect.

Traditional diagnostic methods are known:
lapis test (V. G. Gavrish "Diagnosis of endometritis in cows" J. "Veterinary", 1988, N 4, S. 48);
diagnosis by characteristic clinical signs (Andreev G.M. Mirokh N.I. “Treatment of cows in acute postpartum endometritis” J. Veterinary, N 12, 1986, p. 50);
express method according to N. A. Flegmatov ("Veterinary obstetrics and gynecology", M. "Agropromizdat", 1986, S. 410-411);
a modified Whiteside test with cervical secretion (Popov, Yu.N. 1969);
intravital histological examination of the endometrium (Kononov G.A. 1966; Petropavlovsky V.V. 1968; Afanasyeva I.N. 1972).

 The considered diagnostic methods are not accurate enough and effective, because only clinical forms of the disease are detected.

 It is known the use of reflexology methods for the diagnosis and treatment of mastitis in cows ("Biomedical aspects of reflexology and assessment of functional conditions" Interuniversity collection of scientific papers. Kalinin, 1988). prototype.

 In the known method, the electric skin resistance of healthy and mastitis-infected cows is determined at acupuncture points "yang-min" for 1-1.5 hours before milking. The measurement results show that the skin resistance of healthy and sick cows has significant variability. However, a certain regularity was noted: in sick animals, electric skin resistance is much lower than in healthy animals.

 The aim of the invention is to expand the use of electroreflexotherapy for previously unknown purposes, namely: for the diagnosis of latent endometritis of cows.

 The claimed invention meets the criterion of "novelty", because the use of electroreflexotherapy for the diagnosis of latent endometritis of cows is unknown.

 The claimed invention meets the criterion of "significant differences", because there is an additional positive effect of expanding the scope of electroreflexotherapy.

 In addition, compared with the known methods for diagnosing latent endometritis, the proposed method is simpler, cheaper, because it does not require the use of additional labor for fixing animals during their research, the use of additional equipment, or the use of expensive drugs.

 The method is implemented as follows.

 On the day the cows come to the hunt before insemination, the electric resistance of the cow skin at the biologically active point (BAP) "kai-fun" is determined using an electroreflexotherapy device (PERT).

 Under the conditions of the MOS state farm of the Agapovsky district of the Chelyabinsk region, 17 goals of obviously sick animals were selected (the diagnosis of latent endometritis was established by the method) and 17 goals of obviously healthy animals. Animals were selected on the basis of analogues.

 The electrical resistance of the skin of animals in the BAT "kai-fun" between the fourth and fifth sacral vertebrae in the midline was measured using PERT-FM at positive and negative potentials. We compared the obtained values, determined the difference between the positive and negative potential.

In all, 17 obviously sick animals, the difference between positive and negative potentials was 20-85%
In all 17 obviously healthy animals, the difference between the positive and negative potentials was below 20% practically, the values of positive and negative potentials were the same.

 Based on the experiments, we can conclude: if the difference in the indicators of negative and positive potentials does not exceed 20%, you can diagnose the absence of latent endometritis. If the difference in the indicators of negative and positive potentials exceeds 20%, latent endometritis can be diagnosed.

 Thus, in connection with further intensification of production of livestock products, the problem of finding rational, effective methods for diagnosing various animal diseases is becoming increasingly urgent. Early diagnosis of latent endometritis of cows will reduce losses from these diseases.

 Known modern methods for diagnosing latent endometritis of cows are imperfect and do not find wide practical application.
