Pharmacological properties
Lozeval is a broad-spectrum drug aimed at the treatment and prevention of diseases of various etiologies. It effectively fights viruses, bacteria, fungi, and also eliminates the causes of colds.
The main property is the stimulation of the production of lymphocytes, which are responsible for protecting the body during the penetration of foreign objects. This reduces sensitivity to diseases. This process occurs due to the increased production of immunoglobulins, lysozyme and activation of the phagocytic ability of cells responsible for immunity.

- pathologies of the skin - dermatoses (eczema, dermatitis), pyogenic wounds, burns;
- inflammation of the mucous membranes – stomatitis, conjunctivitis.
For prophylactic purposes, it is used when there is a threat of adenovirus or parvovirus.
Operating principle
Pharmacodynamic properties - rapid passage of active substances through the skin, mucous membrane, and intestinal walls. The principle of action is the penetration of active components into the cell of the pathogen (virus). They block the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein elements, which inhibits reproduction. Normal activity stops and the pathogen dies. A similar effect is manifested in the direction of fungi, bacteria, yeast and mold.

Lozeval: reviews from farmers
Georgy. My total number of heads is more than 500 individuals. Previously, infectious diseases killed up to 25% of adult chickens and growing chicks. After using Lozeval, sick chickens quickly recovered, so I began to give the product as a preventive measure. Despite the large number of birds, the costs were low, and the final effect was impressive. Grown young animals practically do not get sick.
Many farmers use Lozeval for prevention.
Nina. I have been breeding pigeons for a long time, but recently in our area cases of birds infected with Newcastle disease have become more frequent. After the advice of a veterinarian, I purchased Lozeval and used it strictly according to the instructions. As a result, none of my charges got sick, although almost half of my neighbors’ chickens died. Additionally, I lubricate the pigeons’ wounds if they appear. The rate of healing of the affected areas is almost 2 times higher, and at the same time the likelihood of sepsis is lower. I am very pleased with this product.
Lozeval is a long-proven anti-infective agent that has undergone numerous experimental studies and testing. Biostim (Sochi) and the pharmacy department of NIVI (Krasnodar), after conducting clinical experiments, gave positive conclusions about the effectiveness of the veterinary product. The therapeutic effect of using the drug is an impressive parameter - from 85 to 95%, which allows the drug to be classified as a high-performance medicine.

To prevent infectious diseases in chickens, the room in which the chicks will be located is treated in accordance with the incubation time on the 6th, 12th and 21st days. After the chicks are born, spraying of the drug continues every other day. Lozeval is included in the diet with drink. In order to prevent diseases, the duration of administration is from 5 to 7 days.
