The public order for this study - the immunomodulatory effect of porcine brain cortex neuropeptides (NP) on innate immunity of Swiss white mice population is conditioned by two circumstances: (1) the continuing deterioration of life quality - pollution of air, fodder and water, and (2) emergence of new drug resistant microorganisms. These circumstances make it urgent to find new remedies and to study the way of the enhancement of herd immunity. According to literature and our own data, the frequency of immunologically weak and risk animals are unwishingly high. Therefore, the same may be relevant to pig herds.Also the findings that the existence of marked communication between the CNS and immune system make it possible to study the effect of pig brain cortex NP on innate immunity of mice. We were able to determine the immunoprotective effect of NP on the innate immunity of Swiss white mice population
