ABSTRACT: With the objective to
evaluate the properties, curatives of kombucha extract as an alternative
treatment were used; 20 sheep creoles weaned with stunting, respiratory
diseases, parasitic and malnutrition were divided into control and experiment n
= 10 groups; the first one was administered by ivermectin 1% (2 mg/kg) subcutaneous, with a reinforcement of closantel
5% (0.5 mg/kg) by oral route and enrofloxacin at 5% (3 mg/kg) intramuscularly
for three consecutive days and the second group by oral route 20 ml of extract
kombucha per animal each three days for about 4 months, was weighed at the
beginning of each month; clinical tests were conducted and statistical data
indicated no significant differences in weight gain 30.370 kg/p control, 31.290,
3.503 kg/p experimentally, some showed small differences in blood
samples 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
5.37 ± mg/dl, 46.12 ± 4.70 MCV, 7.21 ± 0.25 g/dl total protein, 38.20 10.06 ± 1.40
and segmented neutrophils ±1.07, and on the other hand the experimental in
erythrocytes present 9783000.00 ± 1036072.17 million, in hemoglobin 13.43 ± 0.51
g/dl, hematocrit 38.87 ± 2.13, and platelet 422320.000 ± 52442.578 thousands. Both
groups did not exceed normal parameters, however, physically the experimental
animals were better and had no parasites or respiratory problems as opposed to
controls.
