Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-7822-6646 Comparative study of the use of Doxycycline and Oxytetracycline to treat Anaplasmosis in fattening lambss 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Lamb icteric carcasses condemnation due to Anaplasma ovis is causing relevant economic losses. A comparative study was developed on the effects of different antibiotics to treat ovine anaplasmosis in fattening lambs. A total of 100 A. ovis naturally infected lambs were selected and randomly divided into four groups of 25 lambs: Group ID, treated with injectable doxycycline; Group OD, oral doxycycline; Group O, injectable oxytetracycline; and Group C, untreated animals for the control group. Clinical, haematological, and molecular analyses were performed before the treatment and 12 and 45 days after the beginning of the treatments, and carcass condemnation was followed after slaughter. The A. ovis bacterial load was high before the treatments in the four groups and decreased significantly 45 days after treatment in the ID and O Groups (p < 0.001). The parameters that were related to haemolysis showed similar results. At the abattoir, 15 out of the 47 examined carcasses were condemned; 7 of C Group, 6 of OD Group, 2 of O Group, and 0 of ID Group. It can be concluded that injectable doxycycline and oxytetracycline significantly reduce A. ovis bacterial load in blood and carcass condemnation at the abattoir. Further studies are needed in order to confirm these encouraging findings. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/A15-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.0 2022 VETERINARY SCIENCES 13 / 144 = 0.09 2022 Q1 T1 AGRICULTURE, DAIRY & ANIMAL SCIENCE 12 / 62 = 0.194 2022 Q1 T1 0.684 2022 Veterinary (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 Animal Science and Zoology 2022 Q1 4.2 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Ruiz, H.
