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

Determination of possible relations between some metabolic activity indexes of Large White pregnant sows (with various pregnancy stages) and their offspring was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. In the experimental animals there was taken blood for hematologic and biochemical tests. In peripheral blood there was analyzed the average content of hemoglobin, total number of erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes and corpuscular volume. Content of total protein, albuminolesterin, concentration total kalium and nonorganic phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, activity of alanine- and aspartate transaminase were evaluated in blood serum. Blood tests were made on 84th day of pregnancy, in 30 days before farrowing, on the 2-nd lactation day and on the 2-nd and 35-th days of piglet life. Research results showed high degree of persistence of iron and zinc deficiency of pregnant sows in the conditions of modern national swine production. The obtained results proved the presence of close relationship between metabolic processes of sows and piglets that was revealed in low degree of stores supply with elements which had been in deficit for their mothers

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

Determination of a degree and stages of metabolic disorders of aborted sows and sows which gave birth to dead fetus was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Analysis of biochemical profile of blood of experimental sows was given. Typical deviations of biochemical status indexes in the conditions of reproduction pathology were determined. The highest degree of deviations of biochemical blood profile (indexes of fat, protein and mineral metabolism) was stated at aborted sows. At sows which gave birth to dead fetus there were stated abnormalties functional state of kidneys and liver, indexes of carbohydrate and mineral metabolism.

Research on working out of a new fodder additive on the basis of rape (Brassica napus) phospholipids which included mineral substances necessary for normal functioning of cattle was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Results of biochemical analysis of 35240 blood samples revealed that 15-40% of studied animals had abnormalties in vitamin, protein and mineral metabolism and lowering of immunobiological disease resistance. There was correlation dependence between the degree of metabolic orders and the state of forage reserve of a forage reserve. The lowering of forage reserve caused the increasing of metabolic disorders. As a whole forages of the surveyed farms were low in content of copper, zinc, cobalt and selenium and could not provide physiological requirements of animals without introduction into rations of specialized additives

In the conditions of immunization of swine by experimental produced at Vitebsk Biofactory in the Republic of Belarus vaccines in blood of experimental swine there stated the morphological changes which pointed to formation of immune response.

For the determination of efficiency of a new produced in the Republic of Belarus preparation Ehkvikar there was modeled a test with a diaphoresis of guinea pigs by means of their staying in a thermostat at a temperature of 45-50 deg C in course of 30 minutes. Before and after the test there was taken a blood test for its analysis. Results of the experiment showed that together with sudo the animals lost 1-2 % of their body. There was stated the increasing of all blood corpuscles as well as lowering in 1,3-1,47 times of such elements as chlorine, sodium, potassium, and also T lymphocytes and bursa-derived lymphocytes. Application Ehkvikar promoted the stabilization of biochemical and morphological parameters of blood, and also the immune status of laboratory animals. Thus, Ehkvikar preparation promoted the compensation of losses of electrolytes with sudor of guinea pigs and in future can be studied by an example of horses for completion of electrolytes losses in the conditions of increased physical exercises.

Division of selection area at rest and feeding areas and setting the straw bedding norms for heifers of 6-12 months of age as 2 kg per animal daily, 13-16 months of age – 3 kg and 17-25 months of age – 4 kg promotes increases of average daily live weight gains compared to traditional technological solutions and norms at 6,4%, hemoglobin content – at 3,7%, erythrocyte quantify – at 5,6%

Evaluation of a quantity and phagocyte activity of leucocytes, immunoglobulins, T- and B-lymphocytes in blood serum of sheep in the process of stimulation of central nervous system with caffeine sodiobenzoate for the increasing of nonspecific animal resistance was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Romanov yeld ewes were divided into two groups. Experimental sheep were entered caffeine sodiobenzoate intramuscularly in dose 0,012 g/kg of live weight twice a day with 6 hours interval. Controlled group of sheep were entered physiological salt solution in accordance with the same scheme. Blood samples were taken before preparation entering and after 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours of test beginning. Immunoglobulin concentration in blood serum was estimated by electrophoresis method in polyacrylamide gel. Quantity of T- and B- lymphocytes was estimated by active rosette test. Phagocyte activity of leucocytes was estimated with application of germ culture St. albus. Leucocytes number was accounted in Gorjaev's chamber. Research results showed that under conditions of central nervous system stimulation by caffeine sodiobenzoate there was stated the increasing of nonspecific resistance. It was proved by the increasing of the total number and phagocytic activity of leukocytes, immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM), T- and B- lymphocytes
