In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was determined the therapeutic efficacy of combined application of a complex antibacterial veterinary drug (containing lincomycin and spectinomycin) and Trivitim for the treatment of calves with respiratory diseases. In course of the study of 12 1-1,5 month old calves with respiratory diseases there were analyzed the hematological blood indexes, white blood cell differential and content of total protein in blood serum before the beginning of treatment and on the seventh and fourteenth days after beginning treatment. Research results showed that application the antibacterial veterinary drug in complex therapy with Trivitim in treatment of calves proved to be efficient. Their administration shortened the terms of recovery and prevented animal death as well as promoted the normalization of hematological and biochemical blood indexes.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the influence of methods and means of spot heating and localization of warmth on indexes of microclimate in piglet breeding houses and resting area of piglets and their growth parameters. In course of the study there taken into consideration the indexes of an average temperature on piglet resting area housings; atmosphere relative humidity, air velocity, content of carbon dioxide, content of hydrogen nitride in the housing and resting areas of piglets. Research results of microclimate of swine breeding areas and resting areas of piglets under different means and methods of heating and warmth localization showed that the it was the most efficient to add for the local heating in the first three weeks of suckling period the glow-discharge tubes or in suckling period or weanling periods - the heated floors; and in suckling period - brooders in the form of tops with shields.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was realized a scientific and economic experiment on studying the influence of a multi-enzyme feed additive on productivity, viability, growth and development of calves. The multi-enzyme additive contained in its formula xilanaza; glucanase; cellulose; and dolomite (as a filling agent). It was determined that young growth of cattle which were fed with the multi-enzyme additive in dose 1 gram per 6 kilogram of milk by the end of the experiment had a live weight gain on 13,6% higher than in a control group. Calves which were fed with the additive were characterized by more stretched constitution, had well developed thorax and good development of skeleton in comparison with analogues from the control group.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the efficiency of application of granulated and extruded lupine (Lupinus) in feeding of bull claves. It was determined that after lupine extruding the quantity of sugar in it increased on 45% due to lowering of starch content. The inclusion of extruded lupine into bull calves diets made it possible to increase the digestibility of dry and organic substances, protein and nitrogen-free extractive substances. The highest average daily weight gain (842 gram) was stated at claves which were fed with mixed fodder with 15% of extruded lupine; this was on 7,5% than in a control group. In the conditions of feeding with the granulated lupine the average daily weight gain increased on 5,3% in comparison with crushed one. In course of study there was analyzed the dependence chemical composition of lupine on the processing method; blood composition of the studied animals; diets of experimental animals; digestibility of nutrient substances of forages; balance and intake of nitrogen; biochemical blood composition; changes of live weight and average daily weight gain.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the possibility of increasing of meat yield productivity of ducklings of Temp cross in the conditions application of parental lines of Peking ducks of German breeding Stolle Seddin Vital (SVV) cross. In course of the study there was realized a comparative evaluation of linear and crossbred ducklings in accordance with meat qualities and blood indexes. There were presented the results of morphological composition of liner and crossbred duck carcasses; dynamics of changes of lipid exchange (total lipids; cholesterine; triglyceride) of ducklings; morphological composition of carcasses of father and mother combinations; blood indexes of ducklings; blood indexes of crossbred ducklings of final combinations. Research results showed that crossbred ducklings had high meat properties which exceeded the purebred ones. In ducklings with lower indexes of fattiness of carcasses there was noted the lowering of concentration of total lipids, cholesterine and triglyceride in blood.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the efficiency of application of a whole milk substitute Biomilk-11 and feed additive SFDK-1 (biologically active enzymatic feed additive) for breeding of young stock of cattle, by an example of calves of black-and-white breed. In course of the study there was analyzed the composition of the feed additive SFDK-1 (weight fraction of dry matter; weight fraction of protein; content of amine nitrogen; cellulose fiber activity) as well as the physical and chemical indexes of the whole milk substitute Biomilk-11 (moistness; crude protein; crude fat; crude fibre). There were presented indexes of live weight gain of experimental and control calves as well as the dynamics of average daily weight gains in experimental group. Research results proved the efficiency of application of both additive for calves feeding.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the formation of nonspecific protection factors of the first year foals. By a principle of conditional analogues there was generated a group of clinically healthy foals at which monthly from bulbar veins there were taken tests of blood for hematological and biochemical analysis. From the obtained data it was visible, that within the first year of foal life there were taking place the processes of formation of nonspecific protection factors of an organism which were accompanied by a gradual increasing of quantity of erythrocytes, haemoglobin, leukocytes, certain change in the diagramme, and also increasing of bactericidal and lysozyme activity of blood serum. However, at seven-month age there was marked a considerable decrease in number of erythrocytes, leukocytes, concentration of haemoglobin, bactericidal and lysozyme activity of blood serum is marked, in leukogram share reduction of segmented neutrophils, and at the same time, the content of eosinocytes and lymphocytes increased. It testified the decreasing of protective forces of an organism during this period. Consequently, the seventh month in the postnatal period of foal life proved to be the most critical.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the antihelmintic characteristics of the preparative forms of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre): herbal infusion, infusion, liquid, extract, pulvis. The research has shown that these preparative forms in the specified dozes had a rather high therapeutic efficiency against strongylatosis of gastro-intestinal tract of young ruminants. The highest therapeutic effect was rendered by a liquid extract of Comarum palustre after its administration to animals in a dose of 0,2 ml/kg twice with 24 hour interval. In this case during the strongylatoses of a gastroenteric tract the antiparasitic intensefficiency of sheep and cattle by the end of experience was 98,1% and 97,3% respectively, and antiparasitic extensefficiency was 90% for both kinds of animals. After herbal infusion application of Comarum palustre for animals (in a dose of 7 ml/kg of live weight before feeding once a day within 3 days continuously) by the end of the 14 day of the experiment made it possible to obtain intensefficiency of 70% for both animal species, and extensefficiency of 60% for sheep and 70% - at calves. Tincture application of marsh cinquefoil for animals in a dose of 1 ml/kg of live weight of twice with 24 hours interval, provided the intensefficiency of 85% for sheep and 84% - for cattle, and extensefficiency of 70% and 80%, respectively. In the conditions of application of a pulvis of marsh cinquefoil in a dose of 500 mg/kg of live weight twice with 24 hours interval, made it possible to obtain the 63,4% intensefficiency for sheep and 67,8% - for calves, and extensive efficiency - 50% and 40%, respectively.

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.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the propagation, botanical characteristic, chemical composition and pharmacological properties of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre) and its application in the veterinary practice against strongylatosis (Strongylata) of gastrointestinal system of cattle young stock. Reserch results showed that the perennial herbage plant marsh cinquefoil from Rosales (Rosaceae) family possessed different therapeutic properties: antipyretic agent; styptic agent; diuretic agent; bonding agent; wound healing substance; tonic agent; promotoring agent. Research results showed that the preparative forms (broth; liqueur; liquid juice; powder) of marsh cinquefoil possessed an active agent proanthocyanidin, a condensed tanning substance which were included into composition of a polyphenolic complex and proved to be efficient for treatment of cattle young stock strongylatosis.
