title: Content of some microelements in chickens with ascaridiasis under combined drug treatment.
abstract: The content of zinc, cobalt, and selenium in the intestinal wall of Leghorn chickens infected with Ascaridia galli was determined by nondestructive neutron-activation analysis. A comparison was made between the infected animals that were treated with Piperathrine and those that were given microelements or those that did not receive microelements. Age-dependent changes were found in the content of the microelements in the control groups. It is concluded that zinc, cobalt, and selenium are unevenly distributed in the intestinal tissues, with a dominating density of selenium occurring in the epithelial layer of the intestinal mucosa.
