Abstract
Under the conditions of intensification of animal husbandry, an increase in the number of diseases of microbial etiology associated with immunodeficiency conditions is observed in animals. To correct the immunological status, immunomodulators are used, in particular drugs of the interferon group. Thus, parenteral administration of interferon to calves in the early postnatal period causes pronounced changes in the morphological composition of the blood associated with an increase in the number of cells responsible for the humoral immune response.
Keywords
