Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the Malva sylvestris L. (MS) plant on the cutaneous fungus (Trichophytosis, Ringworm) in cattle. The research was carried out on a total of 20 cattle of 6 to 20 months of different races and genders in the Ardahan region. Animals diagnosed with Trichophytosis were divided as control (n=10) and experimental (n=10) groups. No substances were used in the control group. The extract of MS was sprayed with an atomizer onto the lesions of the experimental group. Spraying was done to cover the area where the lesions were located and wet enough. The procedure was conducted twice daily (morning and evening) and for 15 days. Starting from the pre-application (0th day) until the 36th day at intervals of two days, the lesion diameters of the cattle in the control and the experimental group were measured and recorded. At the end of the monitoring period (36th day), the diameter of the lesion was enlarged (29.20±3.58 mm) in the control group and reduced (6.60±5.16 mm) in the experimental group. This difference between the lesion diameters of the control and the experimental groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). In this study, it was concluded that the MS extract applied to the bovine skin fungus inhibited the growth of lesions and reduced their size. It is thought that MS extract can be used locally in the treatment of Trichophytosis in cattle.

Malva Bitkisinin (Malva sylvestris L.) Sığırlarda Deri Mantarı Üzerine Etkisinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı Malva sylvestris L. (MS) bitkisinin sığırlarda deri mantarı (Trikofitoz, Ringworm) üzerine etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırma Ardahan yöresinde ırk ve cinsiyetleri farklı, 6-20 aylık toplam 20 sığır üzerinde yürütüldü. Trikofitoz tanısı konan sığırlar kontrol (n=10) ve deneme (n=10) grubuna ayrıldı. Kontrol grubuna herhangi bir madde uygulanmadı. Deneme grubunda bulunan hayvanların lezyonları üzerine MS ekstresi atomizer ile püskürtüldü. Püskürtme işlemi lezyonların bulunduğu alanı kaplayacak ve yeteri kadar ıslatacak şekilde yapıldı. Bu işleme günde iki kez (sabah ve akşam) ve 15 gün boyunca devam edildi. Uygulama öncesinden (0.gün) başlayıp iki gün arayla 36. güne kadar kontrol ve deneme grubunda bulunan sığırların lezyon çapları ölçülerek kayıt edildi. Takip süresi (36. gün) sonunda kontrol grubunda lezyon çapının büyüdüğü (29.20±3.58 mm), deneme grubunda ise küçüldüğü (6.60±5.16 mm) görüldü. Kontrol ve deneme guruplarında lezyon çapları arasındaki bu fark istatistiksel olarak önemli (p<0.05) bulundu. Bu araştırmada sığır deri mantarı üzerine uygulanan MS ekstresi, lezyonların büyümesini durdurarak çaplarını küçülttüğü sonucuna varıldı. Sığırlarda Trikofitoz tedavisinde MS ekstresinin lokal olarak kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir.
