In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were determined the fattening and slaughter qualities of swine as well as the evaluation of their pork production in the conditions of inclusion into their diets of a biologically active substance on the basis of field caraway (Carum carvi L.). Research results showed that in the production conditions the administration of the biologically active additive in a dose of 7 gram per 100 kilogram of live weight of pigs made it possible to increase their daily average gain from 627,9 grams in a control group up to 687,2 grams (or on 9,44% (P less than 0,999)), to increase their preslaughter and slaughter weight respectively on 3,76% and 6,42%, dressing percentage and carcass yield – respectively on 1,71 and 1,67%. According to the indexes of meat quantity in diverting weirs of the experimental pigs surpassed the control group on 3,03%, or 2,70 kg. The fat content in the half carcasses of the experimental group was authentically lower than the indices of control animals on 0,48 kg or on 2,18%. The hock weight of experimental animals with high confidence exceeded pigs of the control group on 1,15 kg, or on 10,45%. They practically did not differ from the control group according the indexes of thickness of pork fat at the level of 6-7 chest vertebras, and in the area of a muscular eye surpassed them on 4,0 square сm or on 7,72%.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was realized a comparative estimation of efficiency of the increased level of phosphorus, calcium, copper, zinc, cobalt, iodine and vitamins A and D in comparison with regulations of the All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Soviet Union (1985) and the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (2003) for pregnant cows in a dry period at summer feeding. Also, there was studied the digestibility of nutritive substances of forages in cow diets, as well as the evaluation of their after-effect on revelation of dairy productivity indexes in the subsequent two months of lactation, biochemical blood indexes and payment of forage byproducts. As a result of application of moderately increasing levels of macro- and trace elements, vitamin D, and phosphorus in particular on 10,0% in comparison with 15,0% and existing level in rations of pregnant cows there was stated a slight decreasing of pregnancy duration of animals on 0,10 day. Also, there was marked an increasing of milk yield of milk with 4% fat content on 1,64% and 4,48%, the growth and development of calves in the prophylactic period on 4,18 and 4,61%,; and the was an improvement of organic substance digestibility on 1,52 and 1,78%. Besides, there was revealed more moderate number of leukocytes and content of crude protein.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were studied the influence of different levels of glucosinolates of rape (Brassica napus) seeds on metabolic processes and productive qualities of lying hens for the determination of an optimal dose of administration into their diets of ground rape seeds of the national Belarusian selection in spite of extraction cakes of other crops. Research results showed that addition into mixed fodder of 8-13% of rape seeds increase in their share in a lying hen diets caused the decreasing of the basic zootechnical indexes and did not render essential influence on production quality. However, introduction 6% rapeseeds into diets of lying hens of commercial stock instead of oil-seed meal of other crops did not render essential negative influence on productive indexes and production quality. Feeding of 6% of rapeseeds in spite of oil-seed meal of other crops in course of ten months of technological use of poultry caused the increasing of total yield of eggs on 2,9%, egg production - on 1,8%, average weight of eggs - on 1,7%. Also, it made it possible to reduce the daily consumption of forage on 2,6%, forage expenditures per 10 eggs - on 5,5% and per kilogram of egg weight - on 5,8%. The obtained results assume the possibility of inclusion into lying hens diets of 6% milled rapeseeds of national selection with a level of glucosinolates up to 44,7 mkmol/g.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the efficiency of application of forage chemical preservatives Kormoplyus-1, Kormoplyus-2, and Kormoplyus-3 for grass fodder conservation. The analyzed preservatives contained acetous acid, urotropine and sodium acetate (only in Kormoplus-2). In course of the study there were established experimental batches with the studied sreservative; there was determined a chemical composition of prepared forages; in physiological and scientifical and economic experiment there was analyzed the feeding efficiency of cereal ensilage. Research results showed that application of preservatives Kormoplyus-1 and Kormoplyus-2 2 for preparation of cereal ensilage made it possible to receive a high quality ensilage and to increase the dry matter safety on 4,2-8,7% and protein on 12-9,4% on comparison with storage without preservatives. Also, it made it possible to increase the digestibility of dry matter in cattle diets respectively on 5.5% and3.7%; organic substance - on 5.5% and 4.0%; fibre - on 16,5% and 15,0%, and also to increase nitrogen deposition on 17,4 and 20,8%. Feeding with forages preserved with Kormoplyus-1 and 2 did not render negative influence on a health state and biochemical indices of animal blood.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the influence of a fodder additive Water Trit liquid on quality of water and productivity of swine. Research results showed that administration of the fodder additive Water Trit liquid on the basis of organic acids promoted the increasing of productivity of pigs on 8,2% (P less than 0,01) in comparison with pigs of a control group. Improvement of biochemical indices of blood at experimental pigs was marked. The optimum dosage of the fodder additive Water Trit liquid was 4 ml/l of consumed water. Application of the fodder additive at feeding of pigs positively influenced on quality of water and promoted the destruction of pathogenic microflora in it. The results of tests of water by chemical indices, dynamics of body weight after application of acidulent; fiber fraction, albuminous factor were showed.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was presented a characteristic of breeding stock of mares of Trakensky breed in accordance with body conformation and exterior. In course of the study there were taken measurements of height at the shoulder, heart-girth, metacarpus circumference at 1 year old and two year old age stages. There was calculated an index of massiveness which characterize the development of chest, index of bone which provided insight into skeleton development. Research results showed that in accordance with an exterior the breeding stock mares had a deep and massive barrel, good skeleton and developed muscle. The index of massivness was 118,4-120,5, bone index – 20,8-21,6, that corresponded to a type of riding horses. In accordance with the exterior, measurements and quality of posterity the mares of the bred lines obtained high grades and 93,5% were graded as elite class.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was realized an ecological monitoring of sources of water supply in the conditions of a swine breeding complex and adjoining settlements. There was studied the influence of a large swine breeding complex on water quality of closed type water sources. There was marked a microbial contamination of water depending on remoteness of animal breeding object and season of a year. There were determined the seasonal changes of physical properties, chemical and bacteriological composition of water used for swine breeding. There were noted changes in water quality in the process of its flow from the point of water inlet up to the place of its consumption. Results of influence of improved water on piglets were presented. There was studied the possibility of improvement of water quality by means of its treatment with solution of potassium hypermanganate (0,01%) which made it possible to increase average daily live weight gain of piglets. In course of the study there was realized the analysis of protein spectrum of blood serum of piglets; dynamics of body weight and average daily weight gain of experimental piglets.

In course of the realized investigation there was analyzed the dynamics of climatic resources of Belarusian Poozerye region (the Republic of Belarus) over the last 25 years. In course of he study there was analyzed the amount of effective yearly average temperatures of cultural landscapes of Belarusian Poozerye over 1998-2008. Also, there was presented the yearly average depth of precipitation in the analyzed area over 1984-2008. Results of 25-year studies over the climatic resources resulted the following: possibility of solution of a problem of plant productivity by means of concordance of physiological requirements of agricultural crops and the potential possibilities of cultural landscapes; notable increase of agroclimatic resources (increasing of amounts of active and effective yearly average temperatures; duration of vegetation period, etc.) requires the appropriate adaptation of cultivated agricultural crops; displacement of the northern border of the central agroclimatic region (isothermal curve 2000) to the north of the Belarusian Poozerye requires development of new approaches to management of this region; changes of growing conditions of agricultural crops requires specification of the existing technologies, scientific approaches to the specialization of the territory.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the influence of a number of pigs in a group on swine productivity and blood indexes of pigs. In course of the study there were analyzed blood indexes of piglets before and at the end of the experiment. Research results showed that it was efficient to organize husbandry in small groups (10 heads per carriage). The adaptative period of animals in the conditions of husbandry in large groups (20 heads) was longer (the adaptation took place by the seventh day). In these conditions the average daily live weight gain of piglets was lower than in the conditions of small group husbandry on 5,1%. Research results showed that animal husbandry in the conditions of different number of heads per group did not render negative influence on morphological and biochemical blood composition.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the interrelation between the main indexes of cattle milk performance of dairy cattle of Large Red Belarusian breed and Belarusian Black-and-White breed with different genotypes of kappa casein gene. In course of the study there was determined the frequency of occurrence of genotypes and alleles by kappa-casein gene in population of cows of mentioned above breeds. Values of correlation coefficients between some indexes of milk performance of the studied breeds were analyzed. Correlation factors between the basic indexes of milk performance of cows with different genotypes of kappa casein. Research results showed that milk protein content and butter-fat yielding capacity were in negative association with the main breeding trait of dairy cattle – amount of milk yield. Butter-fat yielding capacity and milk protein content correlated positively. Thus, selection breeding in accordance with one of this traits will promote increasing of the other. Besides, it is necessary to realize DNA-diagnostics of cattle according to kappa casein gene and to select animals having in their genomes allele CSN3**B connected with higher milk protein content.
