Veterinary Medicinal Products to Treat Varroosis on the Ukrainian Market in the Context of Risk Factors Analysis for Honey Bees
Abstract
Results. As for September 2020, at least 136 items of veterinary medicinal products to treat varroosis are available on the market in Ukraine, of which 79 are imported. They contain ten active substances (amitraz – in
37 products, fluvalinate – 30, flumethrin – 12, bromopropylate – 5, coumaphos – 2, acrinatrin – 1, thymol – 14, formic acid – 6, lactic acid – 6, oxalic acid – 9), vegetable essential oils and other substances. However, as for February 2020, only 17 anti-Varroa products have been included into the State Register of Veterinary Medicinal Products Permitted for Use in Ukraine. Analogs with the same concentration of the same active substance from different producers have been identified; drugs with the same name but different origins, differing both in the concentration of the active substance and in the dosage form; numerous technical errors in the indication of initial concentrations on the sites of online stores, as well as other risks associated with the dishonesty of sellers.
Conclusions. The obtained results stress the need to strengthen control over the market of veterinary medicaments to treat honey bee varroosis in Ukraine.
