Data on working out a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for revealing of virus of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus was presented. The development of the qualitative PCR was realized in the following stages: analysis of viral genome and selection of primers; synthesis of primers and control of their specificity; optimization of conditions for PCR; obtaining of positive control and determination of its concentration; obtaining and testing of probe and optimization of its concentration for PCR; testing of the developed method and determination of sensitivity. The obtained method made it possible to determine not only presence of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, but also its initial amount in sample. Due to application of probe constructed in accordance with molecular beacon technology the presented method proved to be highly specific. That was connected with the fact that fluorescence was registered only when the probe connected to complementary part of DNA, in other case the result was negative. Research results showed that the sensitivity of the given procedure made it possible to define in a sample presence of a virus with concentration 2 lg that corresponded to 2 DNA copies

Investigation of efficiency of electrochemically active solutions in complex therapy of calves with diseases of the digestive apparatus and respiratory organs was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Calves diseased with dyspepsia and bronchopneumonia were chosen for investigation of gastrointestinal diseases and respiratory diseases. At the first stage there was studied the therapeutic efficacy of water solution of electrochemically active neutral anolyte and sodium hypochloride solution Akvamed for calves sick with dyspepsia. At the second stage there was analyzed the therapeutic efficacy of 0,04 % solution sodium hypochloride Akvamed for the treatment of bronchopneumonia of calves. Research results showed that inclusion into complex therapeutic regimen of calves of electrochemically active solutions promoted the reduction of disease duration and severity. Electrochemically active solutions had high biocidal activity and could be produced in large volumes, had practical safety, low price and acute therapeutic effect

Results on determination of residual quantities of fenbendazole and its metabolites in cattle meat, organs and tissues after administration of preparation Febolvet in dose of one bolus per one animal realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus were presented. Animals were killed in 35 and 80 days after administration of preparation. There were no strangulates in animals organs. Pieces of nephros, liver, cordis, fat and muscle tissue were chosen for residual quantity of fenbendazole and its metabolites evaluation. The level of carcasses bleeding was good at application of boluses of infested activity with fenbendazole. In 24-48 hours of keeping in refrigerator the drying crust was well-defined, muscle tissue in cut had firm texture and from light red to red color, cut areas were wet. Tendon was form and elastic. Soup was clear, flavored and without extraneous odors. Study of physical-chemical indexes estimated peroxidase activity, pH, presence of products of primary breaking of protein in 24 and 72 hours after killing. Biological value decreased slightly (on 1,04%). Veterinary-sanitary evaluation of cattle meat was conducted in the investigation. Research results showed no residual quantities of fenbendazole in the analyzed samples after application of long lasting boluses. Application of the analyzed boluses in case of cattle strongylatosis did not lower the veterinary and sanitary indexes of meat and did not render substantial effect on its quality

The article features the data on scientific research of the spread and etiology of bovine dermatophytoses. Work was carried out in 2007-2009 in farm holdings of Minsk and Vitebsk regions of the Republic of Belarus. Principal causes of diseases occurrence are the mechanical traumas caused first of all by infringement of animals maintenance of hygienic norms, also infringement of animals feeding technology. The automicroflora on intact skin has been studied. Realized study helped to determine methods and means of dermatophytoses treatment.

The realized studies of an experimental series of inactivated vaccine showed that the developed biological preparation made it possible to achieve high preventive efficiency in the conditions of cows heavy with calves for the creation in newborn calves the expressing immunity after milk feeding in the first hours of their life. As a result realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus production experiment of emulsified vaccine against rotavirus infection and colibacillosis of cattle in animal breeding farms of different regions of the Republic the prophylactic efficacy of a developed vaccine made up 97,9-98,9%. Research results showed that the developed inactivated vaccine caused at the immunizated animals the formation of specific antibodies at a higher level in comparison with other analyzed national and foreign analogue preparations.

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

On the basis of analysis of literary sources and realized studies there was realized an evaluation of the degree of losses caused by ruminant monieziasis in the conditions of modern agricultural production in the Republic of Belarus; the strategy of medical and preventive measures was presented. In course of studies there were analyzed sheep and cattle of different classes bred in farm holding of Belarus and imported from abroad, as well as different anthelmintic agents. Studying of antihelminthefficiency was tested on lambs with body weight 20 kg. Lambs were infested with moniezia (Moniezia expansa). Analysis of anthelmintic agent Alverm efficiency was realized by the example on infested heifers. Albazen was administrated once in dose of 0,8 mg/1 kg. Prazikvantel was administrated once in dose of 5,0 mg/1kg. Alverm was administrated once in dose of 80,0 mg/1 kg. Research results showed 100% extencefficiency and intencefficiency of albazen and prazikvantel. Alverm administrated once in dose of 80,0 mg/1 kg gly had 100 % 100 % extencefficiency and intencefficiency

Results of studying the efficiency of iodine containing preparation Jodon which was applied to highly productive cows with hypovarianism and to servicing bulls in order to increase their reproductive function realized in the Republic of Belarus were presented. On the basis of realized studies there was proved the considerable efficiency of Jodon preparation.

Analysis of morphological characteristic and parameters of a thyroid gland of a thyroid gland of growing cattle stock made it possible to specificate the age-specific and species-specific parameters of adaptation of cattle in concrete conditions of environment was realized in the conditions of cattle breeding complexes of the Republic of Belarus. As a result of studies there were obtained new data on form-building processes, macromorphology, topography and referential parameters of thyroid gland of cattle breeds.

Increase of diets nutrition energy in our experiment showed no significant effect on usage of nitrogen in feeds. Diets with different energy levels have no negative effect on hematological indices of animals
