There was studied a preventive efficiency of complex additive Felutsen and its influences on the metabolic status of pregnant dry cows and the indicators characterizing animal yield, received from these cows. Felutsen is the carbon-vitamin-mineral additive containing a complex of carbohydrates, vitamins A, D, Е, micro-and macro elements (sodium, chlorine, calcium (Сa), phosphorus, magnesium (Mg), sulfurs, Cu, Zn, Co, Mn, selenium, iodine) in number of 300g/animal. At cows after calving metabolism disorders are caused by disorders of liver functional activity. Application of complex additive Felutsen to pregnant dry cow allows to carry out successfully preventive maintenance of metabolism disorders, including micro-and macro element metabolism. Use of Felutsen is effective preventive maintenance of pre-natal development disorders of calves, developments of oligotrophy in the postnatal period, raises safety and growth intensity of increase. The most considerable distinctions are revealed in group of cows at which the additive was applied in the form of a briquette to which there was an easy approach. In the tabular form the indicators characterizing the basic metabolic processes, an exchange of macro elements and microelements at cows are presented at application of this additive, and also body weight, disease and safety of the calves received from cows control and test groups. | Целью работы стало изучение профилактической эффективности комплексной добавки Фелуцен и её влияния на метаболический статус стельных сухостойных коров и показатели, характеризующие приплод, получаемый от этих коров. Фелуцен – это углеродно-витаминно-минеральная добавка, содержащая комплекс углеводов, витаминов А, Д, Е, микро- и макроэлементов (натрий, хлор, кальций (Сa), фосфор (Р), магний (Mg), серу, Cu, Zn, Co, Mn, селен, йод) в количестве 300 г/животное. У коров после отёла нарушения метаболизма обуславливаются нарушениями функциональной активности печени. Применение комплексной добавки Фелуцен стельным сухостойным коровам позволяет успешно проводить профилактику обменных нарушений, в том числе и обмена макро- и микроэлементов. Использование Фелуцена является эффективной профилактикой нарушений внутриутробного развития телят, развития гипотрофии в постнатальный период, повышает сохранность и интенсивность роста приплода. Наиболее значительные различия выявлены в группе коров, у которых добавка применялась в виде брикета, к которому был свободный доступ.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the preventive efficiency of various forms of a complex additive Felutsen against polymicroelementoses of calf-bearing dry cows and its influence on some of biochemical blood indexes. Research results proved high prophylactic efficacy of various forms of the additive Felutsen against polyhypomicroelementoses of calf-bearing dry cows. Restoration of a microelement homeostasis of cows made it possible to normalize the functional activity of liver, to prevent development renal insufficiency and dystrophic changes in bone tissue. The most expressed metabolic changes in blood of calf-bearing dry cows were stated after application of the carbohydrate-mineral additive Felutsen-briquette universal. There was given the analysis of structure of studied forms of complex additive Felutsen; indexes of trace element metabolism in cows; indexes of protein metabolism and level of nonprotein nitrogen; indexes of blood characterizing the functional condition of liver and carbohydrate metabolism of cows; indexes of trace element metabolism in cows after the termination of application of the additive.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the metabolic status of cows in the finishing period of pregnancy, as well as influence of its disorders on clinical status and breeding and economic indexes of new-born calves. Research results showed in pregnant cows in interlactation period there was stated the development of subclinical poly-hyper trace element deficiencies. There was realized the analysis of indexes of trace elements metabolism in cow blood; blood indexes characterizing protein metabolism; as well as biochemical blood indexes characterizing the carbohydrate metabolism and functional state of liver and kidneys. In the conditions of subclinical poly-hyper trace element deficiencies of cows there were revealed the biochemical changes which showed the lowering of the functional activity of liver and intoxication. Economic and clinical indexes of calf crop were analyzed. Research results showed that in calves (obtained from cows with trace element deficiencies) in an early extrauterine life there statedthe development of a toxic form of dyspeptic disorder which was accompanied with high degree of young stock death.

Investigation of spreading of diseases of micronutrient deficiencies at cow breeding farms of Grodno district of the Republic of Belarus depending on the season and character of polymicroelementoses, as well as the determination of relations between polyhypomicroelementoses and state of new born calves were realized. Clinical investigation of 1350 milked and calf-bearing dry cows and biochemical analysis of 450 blood samples taken at nongrazing time (before cows pasture) and at pasture time were conducted. The following animal groups were selected: the first group – cows after calving; the second group – the cows of three month pregnancy; the third group – calf-bearing dry cows. The following groups were selected among calf-bearing dry cows in nongrazing and pasture time: clinically healthy cows, which had biochemical blood changes, showing development of subclinical polyhypomicroelementoses (n = 20); clinically healthy cows with blood indicators, standing in limits of physiological standards. Number of calves was considered after calving of cows of both groups. Body weight, realization of staying and sucking position, evidence of sucking reflex, and calves disposition to neonatal pathology were considered in the study. Research result showed that cow microelementoses were marked by the development of subclinical polyhypomicroelementoses. Among cow polyhypomicroelementoses there was noted the domination of states followed by lowering of zinc, cobalt and cuprum content. Polyhypomicroelementoses were developing both in winter housing season and in course of grazing season. Polyhypomicroelementoses involve cows of different physiological states and were spreading more intensively at cow dry period and after calving. Calves obtained from cows with polyhypomicroelementoses often had the state of hypotrophy and high incidence of dyspepsia at colostric period. Clinical and biochemical status of the analyzed calves was characterized by signs of intoxication and hepatic insufficiency

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied a therapeutic effectiveness and influence on milk productivity of 22% Timbendazole after spontaneous infestation of cows with fascioliasis (Fasciola hepatica). As a result of studies the Timbendazole 22% proved to be highly efficient against Fasciola hepatica in cattle – from 92,9% up to 100% (in comparison with Albendatimum-100 granulated material the efficiency of which was 88-90%). As a result of cows treatment by anthelmintics – Timbendazole 22% and Albendatimum-100 against Fasciola hepatica there was stated the substantial increasing of milk productivity of animals (on 23,4 and 11,0%, respectively) in comparison with animals which were not administratec with mentioned above preparations.

Determination of the positive aspects of application of a feed additive on the basis of sodium humate and malt sprouts fortified with oaky extract in diets of high-productive cows in dry period was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Cows of black-and-white breed with average body weight 600 kg and milk-yield 6000-7000 kg were used in the experiment. Cows of experimental groups in addition to their main diet were fed with the resolved additive in doses 10-20 ml/100kg of live weight. Formula of humic additive with draft name Ehkolin-3 was developed on the basis of Ehkolin additive. Ehkolin additive in its composition contained the following compounds: organic substances; mineral substances; humic substances; melanoids; reducing agents; phenolic compounds; organic acids, and total nitrogen. Research results showed that application of the analyzed additive promoted the increasing enzyme activity in blood serum. Body weight of new born calves in experimental groups was higher than in control group. Symptoms of diseases of the digestive tract disappeared in 4-5 days in the experimental calves. Cows of the experimental groups had good colostral milk with density 1056 kg/mE3 and 55% of immunoglobulins. Impregnation capacity of in one experimental group was 50% after the first insemination, and only 33,3% and 20% in the control and the second experimental group, respectively

In course of realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus evaluation of growing intensity and level of meat productivity depending on cattle sex there was conducted the scientific and economic experiment by an example of two groups of white-and-black bull-calves and heifer calves. In the first growing period the animals of experimental groups were fed with milk substitute. At the stage of completion of growing and fattening the bulls and heifers of experimental groups obtained ration containing haylage, plus 2 kg of flattened grains and 2 kg mixed fodders. Results of linear and weight indexes analysis showed that in changes of exterior of bulls and heifers of black-and-white breed there was noted a certain regularities in their growth and development. The most intensive growth and development of analyzed young cattle was stated at age from 6 till 12 months. At the same time, bulls exceeded heifers according to the main exterior indexes. According to the visual evaluation of bulls and heifers there were determined the differences in constitutional type

The given research results of feeding highly productive cows with new forage supplement of humic-melanoidine nature during the milking period show stable mineral metabolism, correction of their redundant supply within the diet, perfection of digestion and transition into milk as well as minimizing consequences of metabolism intensification. Reception new forage supplement promoted improvement of mastering by an animals organism of necessary iron during the given physiological period, to restriction of mastering of the microelements equal to the category of heavy metals

Increase of protein and energy nutrition norm of dry cows in winter and summer periods at 10 and 15% by protein and vitamin mineral additive based on peas and rape promotes increase of average daily weigh gain at 5,4-12,2%, calves live weight at birth – at 3,6-8,1%, average daily weigh gain – at 3,9 and 12,1%. Optimization of energy and protein content in diets allows to increase milk yield at 5,1-9,9% and decrease forage spends per 1 unit of product at 4,6-9,1%

In the research the genetic structure of populations of bulls Vitebsk of cattle breeding state farm and cows of Belarusian Black-and-White breed of Joint-Stock Company Olgovskij of Vitebsk region (Republic of Belarus) on a locus of a gene of kappa-casein was analyzed. As a result of genotyping a gene of kappa-casein by DNA-diagnostics method there were revealed three genotypes CSN3**AA, CSN3**AB, CSN3**BB. Frequency of occurrence of homozygous genotype CSN3**AA at cows has made 69,5%, at bulls of Vitebsk cattle breeding state farm - 78,3%; heterozygotic genotype CSN3**AB - 26,3% and 20,5%; homozygous genotype CSN3**BB - 4,2% and 1,2%, respectively. Frequency of CSN3**A allele in population of cows and bulls has made 0,83 and 0,88; CSN3**B - 0,17 and 0,11%, respectively. The presence of authentic influence of polymorphic variants of a gene of kappa-casein on level of milk yield and fat and protein content in cow milk was stated. The highest milk productivity in course of 305 days of lactation was observed at cows with homozygous genotype CSN3**BB (5984 kg), that was on 890 kg higher than in animals with genotype CSN3**AB (5094 kg), and on 1406 kg higher (Р less than 0,05), than at animals with CSN3**AA genotype (4578 kg). Cows with B kappa-casein allele in genome were characterized by higher fat content in milk (CSN3**AB - 3,61%, CSN3**BB - 3,72%) than animals with a CSN3**AA genotype - 3,60%. Cows with genotype CSN3**BB had higher level of protein in milk (3,28%) in comparison with the animals with CSN3**AA genotype (3,18%). In animals with CSN3**AB genotype the mentioned above index 3,19%. Research results showed that genetic variants of the gene of kappa-casein are important for selection practice as they could be used as breeding-genetic markers which could raise milk yields and protein content in milk
