Obserwacje kliniczne nad efektywnością preparatu Isoprivet w immunoprofilaktyce nieswoistej streptokokozy świń
Clinical observations on the efficacy of Isoprivet for unspecific immunoprophylactic in streptococcosis of pigs

Sumary. The aim of the studies was to evaluate the effectiveness of Isoprivet for the control of endemic streptococcosis in a pig farm. It was found that Isoprivet used in stimmunostimmulating doses in sows at the last weeks of pregnancy improved the health state of their progeny and that it prevents the development of skeptical form of streptococcus in suckling and in older piglets. This unspecific immunostimmulation enables to achieve better breeding effects. Moreover, Isoprivet used in piglets recovered from a pulmonary form of streptococcus favorably influenced reconva-lescence, pointing to a high efficacy of unspecific immunostimmulation in restoring of the dis-turbed mechanisms of unspecific immune responses in pigs.
