Abstract

The most common epizootic, both in terms of the frequency of its occurrence and the number of infected sites, was anthrax. Te disease in the county was noted annually. Especially high mortality was observed among sheep. The main reasons for the spread of anthrax were of the absence of dead animals burial and skinning of carcasses. For the frst time vaccinations against anthrax in the Kursk province were carried out in 1893, in Korochansk district - in 1896. With the introduction of free vaccinations against anthrax in the province, also, with the establishment by the provincial zemstvo of benefts if the animals died afer two vaccinations, the fght against epizootics began to be carried out more thoroughly. Anthrax vaccinations was the only rational measure in the fght against anthrax. Every year, animal vaccination was spread more and more. Tus, in 1896 in the county, in the frst year of the use of anti-anthrax vaccinations, 750 animals were vaccinated at four sites; in 1897 in 21sites - 3128, in 1898 in 28 sites - 3529, in 1899 in 29 sites - 5309, and in 1900 in 46 sites - 10 946 animals. Tus, over 5 years, the number of animals vaccinated during the year has increased more than 14 times. The numbers of animals vaccinated in the county, relative to their total number, are very small. In the early years, vaccinations were mainly carried out on animals owned by landowners. The benefcial efect of vaccinations in the fght against anthrax was expressed in the fact that afer the use of vaccinations, cases of anthrax were no longer observed. Instead of the previous veterinary-police method, the veterinary- prophylactic method appeared.
