Determination of adaptation and compensation abilities of larval forms of cestodes (cysticercus and echinococci) was realized by means of evaluation of biochemical composition of their internal environment. There was realized the following estimation of biochemical composition of internal environment: Cysticercus tenuycollis from sheep - 34, Cysticercus tenuycollis from swine - 17, Echinococcus granulosus L. from swine - 23. Estimation of biochemical composition of custodies larvaceous forms was realized on the basis of the standard veterinary methods. Research results revealed that osmotic volumetric concentration of internal environment of custodies larval forms was lower than of osmolarity of blood serum. The average value of osmolarity of blood serum for both sheep and swine was 296,63 mmol/l. Research results showed presence of large quantity of specific lipo- and glycoproteins in custodies larva forms. Cysticercotic liquid administrated into suspended matter of microorganism Micrococcus lysadeicticus and leads to lyzing up to 5% of microbal bodies. It was possible to testify the presence of lyzing activity in liquid of larval forms of cestodes. The research results showed that the analyzed larval forms of cestodes had a lot of different and strong defense mechanisms. Adaptation and compensation abilities of larval forms of cestodes had nonspecific character and contained the following: physical mechanisms; humoral immunocompetent factors; and biochemical adaptation

Determination of influence of long acting antihelminthics (Aversictini boluses and boluses with albendazole) and influence of usual antihelminthics (farmatsin, alverm, fenbendavet) on first stomachanimal digestion, as well as on quantity and quality composition of microflora and microfauna in first stomach and large bowel was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. In course of the experiment there were used 6 groups of calves infested with helminths (Neoascaris vitulorum, Strongylata sp.). Research result showed that different antihelminth preparations to a greater or lesser degree rendered negative influenced on quantity and quality composition of microorganisms in first stomach and large bowel of cattle. Alverm and boluses with albendazole rendered the least influence on microflora and microfauna that could be explained by low toxicity of active substance (albendazole) of the above preparations. Aversictini boluses, fenbendavet, and farmastin changed the composition of microorganisms. It could be explained by high toxicity of preparations containing aversictini which rendered influence not only of gastro-intestinal tract but also on the whole organism. Active ingredient of mentioned above preparations (Aversektin C), being the product of microbial synthesis, rendered the antagonist action on the normal microflora of digestive tract. Negative influence of fenbendavet was caused by the chemical composition of the preparation and neurotoxic action of fenbendazol

Development of new compositions of premixes for cows with milk yield of 4-5 thousands kg per lactation depending on lactation stage and pregnancy was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Efficiency of application of premixes in comparison with the standard ones was estimated. Experiment was realized by an example of 3 groups of cows of white-and-black breed; experimental period included beginning milking period (90 days) and the main lactation period (142 days). Cows of the first control group were given premix P60-6M with combined feed. Animals of the second group were fed with premixes created on the basis of carotene and microelements content. Cows of the third group were given premixes in accordance with recommended standards. The refined standards of cow vitamin and trace elements consumption were presented. Formulas of premixes for high-producing cows were presented. The research results showed that the developed formulas corresponded to the physiological needs and their application influenced on metabolism and milk producing ability. Application of experimental premixes made it possible to increase the digestibility of nutritive substancesoin 2,3-7,5%. Application of vitamins and trace elements in heightened doses (on 10-30%) caused the increasing of their uptake and increasing of cuprum, zinc, manganese and cobalt content in blood on 11,6-40,8%

Creation of a composition for disinfection of livestock houses which possessed an expressed sanitizing action and was safe for livestock animals after the repeated application was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Formula of the presented the following components: potassium persulphate, amber and citric acids, sodium dodecyl sulfate. For strengthening of disinfecting effect there was also used detergent – sodium dodecyl sulfate (lauryl).
