In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was presented a characteristic of breeding stock of mares of Trakensky breed in accordance with body conformation and exterior. In course of the study there were taken measurements of height at the shoulder, heart-girth, metacarpus circumference at 1 year old and two year old age stages. There was calculated an index of massiveness which characterize the development of chest, index of bone which provided insight into skeleton development. Research results showed that in accordance with an exterior the breeding stock mares had a deep and massive barrel, good skeleton and developed muscle. The index of massivness was 118,4-120,5, bone index – 20,8-21,6, that corresponded to a type of riding horses. In accordance with the exterior, measurements and quality of posterity the mares of the bred lines obtained high grades and 93,5% were graded as elite class.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was realized a complex evaluation of producer bulls of different genotypes of origin for the further correction and breeding in different categories of agricultural enterprises. In course of the study there was conducted a preliminary (without quality evaluation of daughters) estimation of bulls which gave a precise performance of each bull, made it possible to correct its type and direction of breeding. Research made it possible to considerably increase the genetic trend in accordance with indexes of milk productivity which would make it possible to form a regional type of black-and-white cattle with the given indexes of productivity and reproduction. In course of the study there were analyzed the following breeds: black-and-white, Holstein, Hungarian breeding, Swedish breeding. Comparative evaluation of reproductive qualities of bulls in accordance with age-specific and breed types was presented. Body conformations of bulls of Holsten and Black-and-white of different ae-specific groups were stated. Results of complex evaluation of full-grown, under 5 year-old and replacement producing bulls of Holstein and Black-and-white breeds were presented.

In course of the realized investigation there was analyzed the dynamics of climatic resources of Belarusian Poozerye region (the Republic of Belarus) over the last 25 years. In course of he study there was analyzed the amount of effective yearly average temperatures of cultural landscapes of Belarusian Poozerye over 1998-2008. Also, there was presented the yearly average depth of precipitation in the analyzed area over 1984-2008. Results of 25-year studies over the climatic resources resulted the following: possibility of solution of a problem of plant productivity by means of concordance of physiological requirements of agricultural crops and the potential possibilities of cultural landscapes; notable increase of agroclimatic resources (increasing of amounts of active and effective yearly average temperatures; duration of vegetation period, etc.) requires the appropriate adaptation of cultivated agricultural crops; displacement of the northern border of the central agroclimatic region (isothermal curve 2000) to the north of the Belarusian Poozerye requires development of new approaches to management of this region; changes of growing conditions of agricultural crops requires specification of the existing technologies, scientific approaches to the specialization of the territory.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the influence of a number of pigs in a group on swine productivity and blood indexes of pigs. In course of the study there were analyzed blood indexes of piglets before and at the end of the experiment. Research results showed that it was efficient to organize husbandry in small groups (10 heads per carriage). The adaptative period of animals in the conditions of husbandry in large groups (20 heads) was longer (the adaptation took place by the seventh day). In these conditions the average daily live weight gain of piglets was lower than in the conditions of small group husbandry on 5,1%. Research results showed that animal husbandry in the conditions of different number of heads per group did not render negative influence on morphological and biochemical blood composition.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was showed the possibility of import substitution of methionine and threonine preparations used for growing poultry birds by a new national developed in Belarus fodder additive L-homoserine. The chemical composition of the new feed additive L-homoserine is the following: amino acid L-homoserine; metabolizable energy; crude protein; crude fat; vitamins (B1; B2; B3; betaine; B5; B6; Bc); macro and trace elements (calcium; phosphorous; natrium; manganese; zinc; iron; copper). In course of the study there was analyzed the dynamics of body weight of broiler chickens; expenses of fodders per live weight gain; dynamics of body weight of replacement growing birds; indexes of second pen-feathers; dimensions of combs). Research results showed that addition of L-homoserine for broiler chickens diets was safe and nontoxic; the preparation showed the same growth promoting indexes as the foreign methionine and threonine preparations.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was determined the influence of experimental feed mixtures on the basis of humid preserved grain (conserved rolled grain of triticale; barley (Hordeum vulgare); oat (Avena sativa)) and protein, mineral and vitamin supplement (contains rape (Brassica napus) extraction cake; wheat bran; premix PKR-2; chalk; forage phosphate) on digestibility and metabolism of nutritive elements by young stock of cattle. There were presented recipes of the developed experimental feed mixtures and studied their influence on consumption and digestibility of nutritive elements of diets, metabolism of nitrogenous substances, calcium, phosphorous, as well as on hematological indexes. The proposed mixed fodders contained metabolizable energy; dry matter; crude protein; digestible protein; crude fat; fibre; starch; sugars; calcium; phosphorous; magnesium; potassium; sulphur; iron; copper; zinc; cobalt; manganese. In course of the study there was analyzed the consumption of the main nutritive elements; coefficients of their digestibility; nitrogen balance; balance of calcium and phosphorous; morphological and biochemical blood indexes.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was determined the influence of multi-enzymatic veterinary drug preparations Vitazim (contained a complex of enzymes of carbohydrases: xilanase; cellulose; beta-glucanase) and Ehkosim (universal multi-enzymatic complex: beta-glucanase; endo-xilase; and cellulase) on microbial composition of intestinal bacterial population. Research was realized by an example of layer hens of four-linear cross Highsex white at the age of 34-51 weeks. Regimens of administration of the analyzed preparations were presented. Research results showed promoted the development of the regenerative process of physiological media in intestines of poultry which was necessary for subsisting of normal flora of pathogenic bacteria. The studied preparations Vitazim and Ehkosim can be applied for the preventive treatment and therapy of intestinal dysbacteriosis, normalization of its microbial flora, as well as for the antibacterial therapy.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus annually in 25-50% of total number cattle there was stated ketosis (milk fever); as a result, from each cow in cattle breeding farms receive less milk per lactation on 10-15%, as well as there is a lowering of fat and protein (and biological value) content in milk. In course of the study there was analyzed the influence of mineral and energy supplement Felutsen K-1-2 for the preventive treatment of ketosis of highly productive cows. Research results showed that application of the analyzed additive rendered the positive influence on morphological and biochemical blood indexes. In particular, there was an increasing of hemoglobin level, content of total protein, albumins, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorous. It also rendered positive influence on lipid exchange. In course of the study it was marked, that the prophylactic efficacy of mineral and energy supplement Felutsen K-1-2 in the experimental groups was 100%, and the control one – 80%.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were analyzed data on studying the species specificity of anatomic and topographic characteristics of the most important component of neuroimmunoendocrine system providing body homeostasis - thymus gland of 5-6 year-old European beavers (Myocastor coypus). As a result of studies taking into consideration the sexual dimorphism there was formed a database of morphometric indexes characterizing the degree of development of left and right lobes of thymus gland of European beavers, as well as to reveal their species-specific anatomic and topographic characteristics correlating with processes typical for age-specific and accidental involution.

Influence of inorganic and organic salts of lithium on activity of amplifiers and concentration of metabolites in plasma of chicken blood in the process of vaccination against infectious bursal disease was studied in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. After administration of lithium of citrate, sulfate and succinate there were noted the metabolic disorders. Research results testified that a dry live-viral vaccine on the basis of a strain KMIEhV-61 did not render essential influence on biochemical indicators of blood plasma. At the same time, immunization of chickens against application of salts of lithium (carbonate, sulphate, citrate, succinate) caused to authentic decrease in activity of alanine aminotransferase that testified to function oppression of hepatocytes. Application of lithium of citrate, sulfate and succinate made it possible to considerably increase the concentration of uric acid that was connected, apparently, with infringement of secretory function of kidneys. Metabolic disorders were observed in various terms of research - at 3, 7 and 14 days after vaccine administration. | Изучено влияние неорганических и органических солей лития на активность индикаторных ферментов и концентрацию метаболитов в плазме крови цыплят при вакцинации против инфекционной бурсальной болезни (ИББ). Выявлены метаболические нарушения при использовании лития цитрата, сульфата и сукцината. Полученные результаты исследований свидетельствуют о том, что сухая живая вирус-вакцина из штамма КМИЭВ-61 не оказывает существенного влияния на биохимические показатели плазмы крови. В то же время иммунизация цыплят на фоне применения солей лития (карбонат, сульфат, цитрат, сукцинат) приводит к достоверному снижению активности АлТ, что свидетельствует об угнетении функции гепатоцитов. Применение лития цитрата, сульфата и сукцината способствует также достоверному повышению концентрации мочевой кислоты, что связано, по-видимому, с нарушением выделительной функции почек. Метаболические нарушения наблюдаются в различные сроки исследований - на 3, 7 и 14 дни после введения вакцины.
