Norfloxacin (NFX) is a fluorquinolone antibacterial agent with a high antimicrobial activity and might have great potential for treating common infections in poultry. The objective of this study was to obtain comparative pharmacokinetic data after a single oral administration and medication with drinking water of norfloxacin-glycine acetate (NFX-GA) at the dose rate of 10 mg/kg bw in broilers. Fifty minutes following oral administration of NFX-GA, serum concentrations peaked at 1.32 ㎍/mL (range 1.03-1.45 ㎍/mL).

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of 2 ppm iodine supplementation to drinking water of broilers on body weight, feed efficiency, carcass dressing percentage, feed consumption per kg carcass, mortality and litter moisture. In the present study a total of 512 day-old sexed Avian Farm broiler chicks were used

Analysis of the optimal scheme of doses and rates of combined administration of probiotic Dialakt and immunostimulant Alveozan was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus by the example of 1500 broiler chickens of cross Kobb- 500. Chickens of the first (controlled) group were given only total ration, balanced with the main nutrients. For the chickens of the second group were administrated with immunostimulant Alveozan with water starting from one day old age, every day in dose of 10 mkg/kg of body weight once a day in course of 5 days successively and with 7 days interval till the end of growing period; and probiotic Dialakt was administrated with water in dose of 0,1-0,2 ml/head (10,0-20,0 mln microbial bodies) starting from one day old age, once a day in course of 5 days successively and with 6 and 14 days intervals till the end of growing period. Chickens of the third group were administrated Alveozan in dose of 10 mkg/kg of body weight with drinking water once a day in course of 5 days with 10 days interval till the end of growing period; and Dialakt in dose of 0,1-0,2 ml/head with drinking water starting from one day old age, every day in course of 5 days with 6 and 14 days interval till the end of growing period. The research results showed the following optimal regime of complex application of the analyzed preparations: immunostimulant Dialakt - in dose of 0,1-0,2 ml/head with drinking water starting from one day old age, once a day in course of 3 days successively with 6 and 14 days intervals till the end of growing period; and immunostimulant Alveozan - in doze of 10 mkg/kg of body weight with drinking water once a day in course of 5 days with 10 days interval till the end of growing period. Complex application of Dialakt and Alveozan promoted the increasing of organometric indexes, specific volume and size of thymus in 1,5-1,8 times (P less than 0,01), Fabritsiya bursa - in 2 times (P less than 0,01) and lien - on 11,1% (P less than 0,05)

Investigation of influence of water improved by potassium permanganate solution on welfare and productivity of piglets was realized in the conditions of swine breeding complex in the Republic of Belarus. In the experiment there were used 2 groups of 30-day old piglets. In course of 75 days of experiment the running water of pig complex was used for watering of piglets of control group. Piglets from the experimental group were given water with addition of 0,1% solution of potassium permanganate. Analysis of obtained results showed that water with potassium permanganate promoted the increasing of natural resistance of piglets. At the same time there was stated the increasing of lysozyme and bacterial activityin blood serum. Application of improved water promoted the increasing hemoglobin on 4,8-4,5%, erythrocytes - on 2,9-4,2% in comparison with control. Content of total protein increased on 2,2-2,8% in the experimental groups, lisozyme activity - 6,9-7,0% and bacterial activity - on 5-6,9%. Application of improved water did not influence the glucose and potassium concentration in blood. In the experimental group there was stated the increased lipid concentration on 3,1-6%, cholesterol - on 4,4-6,3%, potassium level - on 2,5-4,5%, phosphorus - on 0,7-5,3%, sodium - on 1,4-3,8%. Application of water with КMnО4 increased average daily weight gain on 5,2-4,2%

Results of study of a pollution level of drinking water around a pig-breeding complex and degree of its distribution in Gorodok district of the Republic of Belarus were presented. For carrying out the monitoring of water objects around the pig-breeding complex there was analysed the drinking water in Palminka and Gorodok localities. Water tests were taken once in three months (September, December, March, June), in the morning. Tests of drinking water used on complexes, were taken once a month. Research results showed that drinking water quality on the pig-breeding complex was considerably lower in comparison with the remoted from it water sources. Closeness of the pig-breeding complex lowered the water quality both on the territory of swine complex and on the territory of neighboring objects. Results of the chemical water analysis, organoleptic estimation, and water correspondence to the sanitary-hygienic standard were presented
