In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the influence of various doses of dolomite on productivity, egg quality and a mineral metabolism of laying hens. The research was realized by an example of laying hens of Highsex Brown. The experimental hens at the age of 250 days old were divided into 4 groups on 60 heads in each by means of analog method. Laying hens of the first (control) group were fed with a basic diet including 5% of a soya cake (cockle-shell), and hens of the second, third and fourth (experimental) groups instead of a soya cake were fed with a mixed fodder with addition of a mineral additive of dolomite. Hens of the second group were fed with the additive at a rate of 2%, the third group - 3%, and the fourth group - at a rate of 5% of weight of dry matter of forage. During the experiments there were maintained optimum parameters of microclimate, recommended temperature and light regimes and a sufficient ultra-violet irradiation. As a result of the realized research it was established, that use of the mineral dolomite additive in feeding of laying hens proved to be possible as a substitute of an expensive import cockleshell. Use of various doses of dolomite promoted improvement of mineral metabolism, increasing of productivity and improvement of egg quality of laying hens.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the influence of inclusion into broiler chickens diets of probiotoc preparation Bifidoflorin zhidkij (liquid) and prediotic veterinary drug Biofon AIL on the natural resistance, hematopoiesis, growth, metabolic function, development and viability of broiler chickens. In course of the study there was analyzed the dynamics of total haemoglobin, total protein of blood serum, albumins and globulins of broiler chickens which were fed with veterinary drugs probiotoc Bifidoflorin zhidkij and prediotic Biofon AIL. Indexes of chicken viability and life weight gain were marked. Research results showed that application of the presented veterinary preparations rendered the growth promoting action, lowering of disease incidence, increasing of chicken viability, increasing of live weight gain and stimulation of metabolic processes in the most intense period of poultry growing. All these factors were expressed in highest degree after the combined application of the probiotic and prebiotic veterinary drugs.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the efficiency of bactericidal action of tartaric acid aerosol for air sanitation of poultry buildings and increasing of broiler chickens viability. The bactericidal action was analyzed by the example of Staphylococcus aureus, Eschericia coli and Proteus vulgaris. In course of study there were analyzed biochemical indexes of blood and blood serum, lymphoid tubercle in proper mucous plate of trachea of broiler chickens after 6-time treatment with tartaric acid and Ekotsid C preparation. Research results showed that the analysed preparations did not render negative influence on metabolic indexes of broiler chickens and increase poultry viability. Application of tartaric acid did not cause pathomorphologic changes in tissues and organs of birds, stimulated the active proliferation of leucocytes in immune system organs (thymus gland; spleen; and lymphoid tissue).

The research was realized by an example on 30 chickens aged 1, 10, 20, 30 60-days old, and 10 hens: 4-months, one-year-old and 2-year-old in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. All poultry stock was maintained in the conditions of industrial production at the Gorodokskaya Poultry Farm of Vitebsk region (Belarus). As a result of the study there was revealed a certain pattern of variation of a quantity of active forms of enzymes in organs chickens of different age. Application of histochemical methods made it possible to reveal different levels of metabolic processes in cellular elements of thyroid gland, which demonstrated the habit of formation and functioning of the organ at different stages of postnatal ontogenesis in hens. Coefficients of acid phosphatase activity in thyrocytes of thyroid gland of hens and indexes of alkaline phosphatase activity in secretion forming cells were analyzed. | Исследование провели на 30 цыплятах в возрасте 1-, 10-, 20-, 30- 60-дней, и 10 курах: 4-месячные молодки, годовалые и 2-летние особи. Все поголовье птицы содержалось в условиях промышленного производства на Городокской птицефабрике Витебской области. В результаты исследований установлена определенная закономерность изменения количества активных форм ферментов в органах птиц разного возраста. Использование гистохимических методов позволило выявить разные уровни метаболических процессов в клеточных элементах щитовидной железы, которые демонстрируют характер становления и функционирования органа на разных этапах постнатального онтогенеза кур. В табличной форме представлены коэффициенты активности кислой фосфатазы в тироцитах щитовидной железы кур и показатели активности щелочной фосфатазы в секретообразующих клетках.

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 histological structures of liver of fattening broiler chickens after application of concentrate of E and F vitamins produced on the basis of rapeseed oil was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus in order to evaluate their efficiency for prophylaxis of massive hepatic necrosis. Research results showed that application of the vitamins on the basis of rapeseed oil promoted the support of structural properties of hepatic cells that proved their higher antioxidant efficiency in comparison with synthetic vitamin analogues

Investigation of influence of probiotic Dialact and immunostimulant Alveozan on digesting of nutritive substances by broiler chickens of Kobb-500 cross, as well as control over their individual development were realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. The first (control) group of chicken was given standard well-balanced ration. Chickens of the second group were administrated immunostimulant Alveozan in dose of 10 mkg/kg of live weight with drinking water once a day in course of 5 days, with 10 days interval till the end of the growing period. Chickens of the third group were administrated preparation Dialact in dose of 0,1-0,2 ml with drinking water once a day in course of 3 days, with 14 days interval till the end of growing period. Chickens of the fourth group were given Alveozan in dose of 10 microgram/kg of live weight once a day in course of 5 days with 10 days interval, and Dialact in dose 0,1-0,2 ml once a day in course of 3 days, with 6 and 14 days interval. Research results showed that complex application of probiotic Dialact and immunostimulant Alveozan increased the viability of chickens on 100%, average live weight - on 5,1%, average daily weight gain - on 5,1%. Administration of Dialact and Alveozan, both separately and in complex, increased the digestibility of nutritive substances of mixed fodders: application of nitrogen increased on 1,93-6,38%, application of calcium decreased on 10,41-12,54%, phosphorus use increased on 2,38%

Immunomorphological changes in young hens vaccinated with an associated inactivated emulsion vaccine against bursal disease, infectious bronchitis and Newcasle disease was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Replacement young hens of 130-158 days old were divided into 2 groups with 200 head in each according the analogue principle. At the age of 130 days old the first experimental group of chickens was immunized against bursal disease, infectious bronchitis and Newcasle disease with a liquid inactive emulsion vaccine (produced in the republic of Belarus) in dose of 0,5 ml intramuscularly. In course of the experiment chickens from each group were killed on the third, seventh, fourteenth, twenty-first and twenty-eighth days. For the analysis of immunomorphological reaction there were tested tissue pieces from the places of vaccine administration, as well as thymus, bursa of Fabritius, lien, cecal tonsils and Garder's gland. Research results showed that in tissues in places of the vaccine administration there were developed hemorrhages, serous inflammatory edema, necrobiosis and necrosis of muscular fibers, inflammatory cellular infiltration, and moderate plasmocytic reaction. At a later stage at the places of damaged structures there was noted the development of granulation tissue with presence of some lymphoid nodules. In response to vaccination in the central organs of poultry immunity there was stated the sinuated changes of morphological indexes. Immunization of chickens against infectious bursal disease, infectious bronchitis and Newcasle disease promoted the increasing of absolute weight of lien, activation of blastic and plasmocytic reaction in bursa of Fabritius and lien and did not render substantial influence on immunomorphological indexes of cecal tonsils and Garder's gland

In article results of studying of efficiency and quality of poultry-fanning production under influence chitosan are considered. It is established that the preparation promotes safety increase on 0,5%, efficiency on 6% and biological value of meat on 20% at chickens whom gave to drink chitosan in a dose of 5 mg/goal from 32 day age it) comparison with the control. Such technological reception leads to decrease the receipt in an organism of a chicken of microtoxins, heavy metals, products of a metabolism of bacteria

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the activity of alaninaminotranspherase (AIT) and aspartate aminotransferases (AsT), alkaline phosphatase, lactic dehydrogenase, cholinesterase, alpha amylase in blood serum, liver and pancreas of 130-158-day old replacement chicks vaccinated against Newcastle disease. Research results showed that the most essential changes were observed from such enzymes, as AsT and AIT. Increasing of AIT activity in a liver, pancreas and blood serum of immunized hens was stated on the seventh day after vaccine administration. Character of changes can testify both the increasing of synthesis of the mentioned enzymes, and also their posttransmitting activation which took place due to intensification of transamination processes. Changes of activity of alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase and alpha amylase were the most expressed on the 14th and 21st days of research. It was possible to assume, that there was a stimulation of synthetic function of hepatocytes under the influence of the vaccine. It was possibly the decreasing of enzymatic functions pancreas.
