Results of serological examinations of blood serum of sheep on revelation of virus respiratory infections (parainfluenza-3, adenovirus and respiratory syncytial) realized in the conditions of the Kyrgyz Republic were presented. Research results showed that in farm and peasant farm holdings of all studied districts of the Kyrgyz Republic of three types of pneumo viral infections simultaneously give high levels of antibody titers in relation to parainfluenza-3 – 1:128, adenovirus – 1:32, respiratory syncytial infection – 1:16. In some districts sheep population was diseased only by parainfluenzal infection in relation with titer of specific antibodies 1:256

The methods and results of determination of safety and relative biological value of carps (Cyprinus carpio) with philometroidosis and breams (Abramis brama) with ligulosis depending on infestation intensity with application of test-object Tetrahymena pyriformis realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus were presented. Research results showed that lowering of reproduction degree of protozoan on 20-30% could testify to the presence of light toxicity. Suppression of infusoria reproduction up to 30% with the simultaneous lowering of actions activity, disturbance of its character and availability up to 10% of inflected cells could testify on the moderate degree of toxicity. Lowering of infusoria reproduction degree on 30-50% with the simultaneous presence of 10-20% of cells with the affected character of motion, form and dead testified to evident toxicity of products. Lowering of infusoria toxicity on 50% and higher, presence of cysts, distorted cells, and ghosts testified to high product toxicity. Research results established that in case of high invasion intensity meat of carp philometroidosis had low toxicity (2 points). Meat of breams with ligulosis and moderate invasion intensity had low toxicity level (2 points), and in case high invasion intensity – moderate (3 points). The relative biological value in case of philometroidosis was on 13,29-28,41% lower in comparison with meat of healthy carps, and in case of ligulosis - on 18,66-57,29% in comparison with healthy breams meat

Results of studies of peculiar properties of progesterone content in blood serum of outbred female rats under the influence of intensive ionizing radiation against the background of stress stimulation realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus were presented. There were the following animal groups: 1. controlled rats; 2. irradiated rats; 3. stressed animals; 4. rats subjected to ionizing radiation and stress. Research results showed that concentration of progesterone in serum blood of female rats in 3 days after immobilized stress decreased on 40% in comparison with the control indexes. More intensive decreasing of hormone level took place after irradiation in dose of 1 Gy (on 62% in comparison with the controlled group). Combine activity of ionizing radiation and stress involved the decreasing of hormone concentration on 25% in comparison with the controlled group. In ten days there was the restoration of changes. Increase of progesterone concentration in blood serum took place in all tested groups. Hormone level in blood serum of irradiated rats increased on 46,04 nmol/l in comparison with results of the third day after irradiation. Hormone level in blood serum of stressed animals increased on 11,63 nmol/l, in group subjected to the combined activity of ionizing radiation and stress – on7,65nmol/l. On the thirtieth day the indexes of progesterone concentration in blood serum of irradiated rats, stressed rats and rats subjected to ionizing radiation and stress were almost similar to the control indexes

Determination of degree and relations between derangements of metabolic processes in calves with respiratory syndrome in the milking period was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Research results showed that the calves with the respiratory syndrome had expressed metabolic processes disturbances, which were marked in the analyzed biochemical blood indexes (total protein; albumins; urea; creatinine; glucose; cholesterin; triglycerids; bilirubin; ALP; AAT; SGPT; calcium; phosphorous; magnesium; iron; manganese; cobalt; cuprum; zinc). In calves with respiratory syndrome there was noted the increased content of crude protein in blood serum (71,42 +/- 2,57 g/l P less than 0,05), low urea level (3,08 +/- mmol/l). There was the increased level of creatine (574,11 +/- 65,26 mkmol/l; P less than 0,01) and bilirubin (8,11 +/- 1,15 mkmol/l; P less than 0,05). Glucose concentration in blood of diseased calves was at below standard level (3,49 +/- 0,69 mmol/l). Glucose indexes varied and were changing during a day; and depended on muscular activity, intervals between feeding and hormonal regulation. Diseased calves had high cholesterol level in blood serum (4,07 +/- 0,34 mmol/l; P less than 0,05), which was stated in case of liver disease and hypothyroidism. Phosphor level was higher than the standard indexes of healthy calves (2,85 +/- 0,03 and 2,05 +/- 0,05, respectively). Content of magnesium, cobalt and zinc in blood of the diseased calves was lower than in healthy ones. Calves with respiratory pathology had protein, fat, hydro-carbonic and mineral metabolic processes

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus the seasonal derangements of metabolic processes at high-producing cows usually take place in the period from March till May. Analysis of efficiency of application of national preparation CMP (complex-mineral preparation -iron (15 mg/ml); iodine (6,8 mg/ml); magnesium (6,0 mg/ml); selenium (0,32 mg/ml) and vitamin preparation Trivitim (vitamin A – 30000 IU; , vitamin D – 40000 IU; vitamin E – 20 mg) for the preserving of high milking yielding capacity and prevention of metabolic processes disorders was realized. Four groups of high productive cows were formed. First group was entered 10 ml of CMP intramuscular; cows of the second group were entered 10 ml of Trivitim intramuscular; cows of the third group were entered CMP and Trivitim in the same doses; and the fourth group was a controlled one. On the 1-st, 7-th and 15-th days there was realized evaluation animal clinical state, hematologic and biochemical blood indexes (leukocytes; erythrocytes; hemoglobin; thrombocytes; ESR; total protein; albumins; urea; creatinine; glucose; calcium; phosphorous; magnesium; iron), and average daily milk yield. There was also analyzed the phagocytic activity of neutrophilic leukocytes. Research results showed that content of leukocytes and ESR in blood in all experimental groups was within the standard limits. In the first experimental group there was state the increasing of hemoglobin (from 91,4 +/- 4,38 up to 111,83 +/- 4,3 g/l (P less than0,05) ) and erythrocytes (from 4,48 +/- 0,21 up to 5,97 +/- 0,45 10E12/l) content. The same changes were stated in cows of the 2-d and 3-d experimental groups. Content of hemoglobin and erythrocyte in blood of cows which were administrated with CMP and Trivitim increased from 90,6 +/- 0,06 to 99,83 +/- 3,61 g/l and from 4,51 +/- 0,27 to 5,55 +/- 0,28 10E12/l, respectively. Analyze of biochemical indexes of cow blood showed that content of total protein, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron increased. On the 15-th day there was stated the decrease of urea. Research results proved that the combined application of CMP and Trivitim was efficient and prevented subclinical disorders of metabolic processes

Studying of topical-product-induced irritation properties of pharmaceutical forms elecampane (Inula helenium) (herbal infusion, tincture, liquid and dry extracts) on skin integuments and conjunctiva of experimental animals (Guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus), rabbits (Oryctolagus), sheep and piglets). Research results showed that the preparative forms of elecampane had poorly expressed irritating properties after application on the skin of animals, as well as weak irritating action with the exception of the native forms of tincture and liquid extract of eye conjunctiva, that proved their total low toxic effect. Topical-product-induced irritation effect of herbal infusion (1:10), tincture and liquid extract in constitution (40 % concentration) and suspension of dry extract in strength of 10%, 15%, and 20% after the single application on skin could be referred to the I class – absence of irritating action. Topical-product-induced irritation effect of herbal infusion and liquid extract in native form (70% concentration) could be referred to the II class – light irritating action. Irritating activity of herbal infusion of eye conjunctiva was evaluated as light, as it was insignificant and short. Irritating action of suspended matter of dry extract in strength of 10%, 15%, and 20% was estimated as a limited one, which disappeared in 24 hours. Irritating action of tincture and liquid extract in constitution (40 % concentration) was evaluated as a high-grade one, which did not disappear in 24 hours. Irritating action of tincture and liquid extract in native form (70 % concentration) was evaluated as a pronounced one, which did not disappear for than 24 hours

Investigation of acute and subacute toxicity of formulations of elecampane (Inula helenium) (herbal infusion, tincture, liquid and dry extracts) by the example of experimental white mice of both sexes ( body weight - 18-20 g) and white rats (body weight - 180-200 g) was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. In course of studies there were analyzed behavior (excitation or depression), physical activity, habitus, appetite, degree of reaction revelation to exogenous irritants, presence of shivering, cramps, paresis, comatose state, time and character of intoxication, dates of animal death). Results of the toxicological experiments showed that the developed preparative forms of elecampane could be referred to the substance hazard category 4, i.e. low-hazardous substances (lethal dose (LD) sub(50) more than 5000 mg/kg live weight). Median lethal dose of tincture was 14043 mg/kg for mice and 12684 mg/kg for rats. Median lethal dose of liquid extract was 13230 mg/kg for mice and 12285 mg/kg for rats

Investigation of acute and subchronic (chronic) toxicity of complexinates of trace elements in experiments with calves was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. The realized experiments were based on developed in Belarus veterinary preparations for the treatment and prevention of diseases connected with disorders of trace elements exchange containing chelate compounds of trace elements with sodium ethylene diamine acetate: Cuprovet (on the basis of CuNa); Cobalvet (on the basis of CoNa), Zinkovet (on the basis of ZnNa), and Feravet (on the basis of FeNa). There were the following indexes of ferrum in nephros - 55,3 +/- 2,26, in muscles - 134 +/- 26,6 mkg/g, and in liver - 565 +/- 35,5 mkg/g after administration of Feravet. There were the following index of zinc in nephros - 56,3 +/- 2,64, in muscles -25, 8 +/- 1,23 and in liver - 84,4 +/- 3,29 mkg/g after administration of Zinkovet. There were the following indexes of cuprum in nephros - 4,1 +/- 0,325, in muscles - 2,33 +/- 0,117, and in liver - 12,3 +/- 1,12 mkg/g after administration of Cuprovet. There were the following indexes of cobalt in nephros - 40,35 +/- 2,29, in muscles - 12,5 +/- 0,98, and in liver - 126,5 +/- 10,45 ng/g after administration of Cobalvet. Parameters of toxicity of all preparations were by the example of laboratory mice, rats and calves given. Content of trace elements in blood of calves in dynamics of the experiment was analyzed. There were determined parameters of acute toxicity of the analyzed preparations: they all could be referred to substance hazard category 4 (low-hazardous substances). The determined parameters of acute toxicity made it possible to recommend them for treatment and prophylaxis of microelementoses of cattle, as well as to use them as feed additives taking into consideration that defect action levels of the analysed preparations exceed the deficiency needs of cattle in case of their limited cumulation

Evaluation of safety and efficiency of application of immunostimulative drug Izambenum (C14H15IN2O) for stimulation of natural resistance (autarcesis) and immunologic responsiveness of chickens of laying breeds was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Clinical and experimental investigation of Izambenum influence on poultry for the increasing of their resistance, activation of immunological response to vaccination against Newcastle disease, stimulation of their growth and development was realized. Research results showed that Izambenum influenced on level of morphological indexes of chicken blood: number of erythrocytes increased on 24%, hemoglobin - on 17%. Total protein in blood serum increased in all test period and number of lymphocytes increased and differential was 90-100%. Izambenum increased strains of post vaccination immunity to Newcastle disease. Bacterial growth-inhibitory activity decreased on the 27the day of life and increased at the same positions on the 34-41 days. Phagocyte activity of pseudoeosinophils increased in all test groups. Research results showed that Izambenum rendered growth and immunity stimulation action and increased their viability. Its immunostimulative action was conditioned by strengthening of cellular and to lower extent humoral immunity factors. Application of the preparation in period of Newcastle disease vaccination promoted the formation of long-lived immunity

Investigation of acute sub-acute toxicity of preparative forms (herbal infusion, tincture liquid extract and pulvis) of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre) by the example of laboratory animals was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. White mice of both sexes with body weight of 18-20 g and white rats with body weight of 180-200 g were used in the experiment. Experimental preparations were administrated on empty stomach after 12 hours of absolute diet. The animals were supervised in course of 14 days. All changes in behavior were registered. Calculations of parameters of acute and average toxicity of all analyzed forms were presented. Research results showed that all analyzed preparative forms could be referred to the substances hazard category 4 (low-hazardous substances) with lethal dose 50 more than 5000 mg/kg of live weight. It was determined that the analyzed preparative forms proved to be highly effective against strongylatosis (Strongylata) of gastro-intestinal tract of sheep and calves
