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 by an example model of a purulent wound at rats there was realized an experimental study of pharmacological activity of a medical remedy PhytoMP (containing active substances of Macleaya microcarpa (Maxim.) Fedde of Papaveraceae family; and Plantago major L. of Plantaginaceae family) in the form of powder. It was established, that the intensity wound-healthing effect depended on a ratio of the components plume poppy / greater plantain 1 + 1:1, 2:1, 1:2. Studying of the remedy safety showed that PhytoMP in the maximal dozes was not toxic for animals after a single unitary intragastric administration in dose of 50000 mg/kg to mice and in dose of 20833 mg/kg to rats. The mentioned above indexes surpassed the recommended for human dose after application tonsilles (1,428 mg/kg) in 35014 and 14589 times, and also the recommended for human doses for application at a wound with size of 2x2 square cm (11,424 mg/kg) - in 4377 and 1824 times, respectively.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were studied the biochemical changes in blood of cows with chronic dystrophic processes in liver by an example of fatty hepatodystrophy. There was given an estimation of these changes taking into account animal physiological state (pregnancy). The metabolic profile including the enzymatic block from aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase, serum albumin, total cholesterin, total bilirubin and thymol test can be used in clinical and biochemical diagnostics in case of hepatic steatosis. Its changes in case of hepatic steatosis were characteriszed by increase in activity of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, decrease in activity of cholinesterase, decrease in blood serum of albumins concentration, increase in general cholesterol and high values of thymol tests. Determination of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase influence and flocculation test on apo-beta-lipoproteins showed that they should not be included in this complex due to their small information content. In the process of estimation of changes of a metabolic profile of blood serum it wasnecessary to consider the physiological state of animals (pregnancy) because the activity of some enzymes and metabolite concentration at them could essentially differ. Taking into consideration the character of hepatic steatosis course, the studied metabolic profile can be recommended for hyposthenic current chronic activity with the considerable involvement degree of hepatocytes into the process.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was realized the evaluation of genetic inheritance indexes of producing bulls at a cattle breeding enterprise in Belarus depending on a selection source (in accordance with an average productivity of female ancestors) in order to use them properly for the increasing of genetic potential of black-and-white Belarusian cows in Gomel region. The carried out analysis allowed to draw a conclusion, that bulls of national breeding lines according to the indexes of cow milk yields concede foreign bulls, i.e. delivered of Sweden on 2744 kg of milk or on 27,5% and from Russia and Hungary - on 1272-2906 kg of milk or 12,7-29,1% (Р less than 0,001). In accordance with butter-fat yielding capacity of bull mothers obtained at breeding farms of Belarus and in accordance with groups delivered from the other countries there were stated no essential distinctions (0,05). Butter-fat yielding capacity percentage of bull mothers varied within 3,99-4,10%. However, the yield of dairy fat per lactation the difference was in favour of bull mothers delivered from Sweden (114 kg or 27,9%) at P less than 0,001. Distinctions on milk producing ability of bull mothers from various cattle breeding enterprises of Belarus were revealed. It was established, that at mothers of bulls delivered from Hungary the variability of milk yield was the highest (3032 kg or 23%). Low variability indexes of milk yield and butter-fat yielding capacity percentage was typical for bull mothers of the Belarusian selection. The standard deviation at them made 872 kg of milk yield with 9% variability coefficient, and 0,03% - for butter-fat yield and 7% respectively. Variability on all indicators of dairy efficiency of bull mothers from various cattle breeding enterprises of Belarus in most of the cases was low - from 2,3 to 13%.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were analyzed indices of impregnating ability and efficiency of stud bull mothers of various genotypes on a kappa-casein gene (CSN3). As a result of genotyping of kappa-casein gene by DNA-diagnostics method it is revealed three genotypes - CSN3АА, CSN3AB, CSN3BB. Frequency of occurrence of homozygous genotype CSN3AA at stud bulls - 87,3%; heterozygotic CSN3AB - 20,5%; homozygous CSN3BB - 1,2%. Statistically authentic difference between these indices depending on a genotype it is not established. Thus, authentic connection between indices of impregnating ability and efficiency of stud bull mothers and their genotype on a locus of a kappa-casein gene that specifies in absence of influence of the last on the given indices is not established and gives the chance to conduct selection on gene CSN3 without decrease in breeding value of stud bulls on reproductive qualities.

Influence of various levels of the organic form of selenium of Sel-Pleks on the formation of reproductive function of breeding bull-calves is studied in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Feeding of organic selenium to bull-calves promoted volume increase of ejaculate on 5,0%, quantities of male germ cells in ejaculate - on 9,1% and concentration of male germ cells in ejaculate - on 7,5% in comparison with animals in which rations sodium selenit was used. Application in winter period of the premix with inclusion of selenium in a dose of 0,4 mg per 1 kg of a dry matter of a ration allows to increase the quantity and quality of sperm of bull-calves: volume ejaculate - on 9,5%, concentration of male germ cells in ejaculate - on 16,4% (Р less than 0,05) and activity of male germ cells - on 8,9% (Р less than 0,001). Increasing of a dose of selenium up to 0,4 mg per 1 kg of a dry matter in rations of bull-calves in summer period allows to increase quantity and quality of sperm. At bull-calves of the third experimental group the ejaculate volume has increased on 4,5%, concentration of male germ cells in ejaculate - on 15,7% (Р0,05) and activity of male germ cells - on 7,3% (Р less than 0,001).

In the conditions of Vitebsk region of the Republic of Belarus there was realized a programme on creation of breed type of Hereford cattle. In course of the study there were realized experiments on increasing the number of livestock of beef cattle breeding by means of accumulation cross breeding of black-and-white cattle with Hereford producer bulls as well as by means of pedigree breeding of Hereford cows and calves imported from Russia and Hungary for the production of marbled beef. Breeding background of obtained purebred calves was determined by DNA-testing method in accordance with the international standard of certification. Into the breeding group of created meat type of Hereford cattle in the analyzed cattle breeding enterprise there were selected 1183 heads, including 24,2% of purebred animals and 17,2% hybrids of the third and fourth generations. The breeding estimation thoroughbred Hereford cattle showed that all producer bulls belonged to the class elite-record. The percentage of cows and heifers of the elite-record class was 89,3% in the conditions of growing number of a thoroughbred livestock on 98 heads. Purebred young stock in number of 45 heads and their mother passed the estimation of their origin by DNA method-testing.

On the basis of the spent research high enough preventive efficiency of Ehrakond application, low intensive laser radiation together with a constant magnetic field is defined that allows to recommend them for wide application in the program of immunocorrection of an organism of agricultural animals. At the first stage of the research in immune deficiency when in blood of newborn calves almost there are no antibodies, influence on biologically active points of an udder of cows (intensity 10 mW/square cm, expositions of seconds) has made positive impact on increase of immune properties of colostric milk. Use of immunostimulants Ehrakond also has increased immunocompetent properties of cow milk (7,5 mg on 1 kg of body weight once a day within 15 days). At feeding of colostrum the physiological condition, growth and development of calves have considerably improved. In the second (when colostric protection factors in an organism decline, and own organism forms them insufficiently) and the third (decrease in immune reactance at changes in feeding and the maintenance of calves) immune deficiency, application of immunostimulants Ehrakond and influence of low intensive laser radiation together with a constant magnetic field on reflexogenic zones on a young growth organism has made positive impact indices of natural resistance of calves. It has led to activization of factors of natural nonspecific protection of an organism that has considerably improved a physiological condition and has increased natural immunity of an organism to diseases. However, the best results on natural resistance, efficiency and safeties of calves have been reached at an irradiation at the BAP initial stage of a mammary gland at cows by low intensive laser radiation together with a constant magnetic field, with the subsequent bottle-feeding of the irradiated colostrum to newborn calves; in 10 days of a life to calves the preparation Ehrakond was entered. | На основании проведенных исследований определена достаточно высокая профилактическая эффективность применения Эраконда, низкоинтенсивного лазерного излучения совместно с постоянным магнитным полем, что позволяет рекомендовать их для широкого применения в программе иммунокоррекции организма сельскохозяйственных животных. На первом этапе исследований в период иммунного дефицита, когда в крови новорожденных телят почти отсутствуют иммуноглобулины, воздействие на биологически активные точки вымени коров (интенсивность 10 мВт/см2, экспозиции секунд) оказало положительное влияние на повышение иммунных свойств колострального молока. Использование иммуностимулятора Эраконд также повысило иммунокомпетентные свойства молока коров (7,5 мг на 1 кг живой массы один раз в сутки в течение 15 дней). При скармливании колострального молозива значительно улучшились физиологическое состояние, рост и развитие телят. В период второго (когда колостральные факторы защиты в организме угасают, а собственный организм образует их недостаточно) и третьего (снижение иммунной реактивности при изменениях в кормлении, содержании телят) иммунного дефицита, применение иммуностимулятора Эраконд и воздействие низкоинтенсивного лазерного излучения совместно с постоянным магнитным полем на рефлексогенные зоны на теле молодняка оказало положительное влияние показатели естественной резистентности телят. Это привело к активизации факторов естественной неспецифической защиты организма, что значительно улучшило физиологическое состояние и повысило естественную невосприимчивость организма к болезням. Однако, наилучшие результаты по естественной резистентности, продуктивности и, сохранности телят были достигнуты при облучении на начальном этапе БАТ молочной железы у коров низкоинтенсивным лазерным излучением совместно с постоянным магнитным полем, с последующим выпаиванием облученного молозива новорожденным телятам; через 10 дней жизни телятам вводили препарат Эраконд.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus as a result of task-specific selection and breeding work there was developed and approbated Berezinsky breed type of Belarusian meaty breed. Sows of the studied breed type were notable for high indices of reproductive signs: the average multiple pregnancy in three breeding swine herd was 11,1 pigs per farrowing; milkability - 55 kg, litter size at weaning stage at 35-day age - 87,1 kg. The predominancy over the forecast exponent indices made 4,7-5,7%. In course of the study there were analyzed the forecasted indexes of the basic breeding signs of Berezinsky breed type of Belarusian meaty breed for 2005-2010; productivity indices of the experimental sows; coefficient of variations of sow productivity.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were studied the productive and interior indexes of bull calves which were fed with dried distiller's grains. Inclusion into bull calves diets of the mixed fodder containing 33% of dried distiller's grains made it possible to increase the concentration of volatile fatty acids on 16-18%, albuminous nitrogen - on 4-7%, quantity of infusorians - on 16-17%, as well as to reduce the ammonia level in a ruminal liquid from 23,4 up to 17 mg%. Inclusion of 33% of dried distiller's grains into structure of mixed fodder and feeding the same quantity of fresh distiller's grains promoted increasing of nutrient digestibility on respectively 4,0-5,9% and 3,5-4,5%, nitrogen retention - on 13%. Increasing of level of dried distiller's grains in structure of grain forage up to 67% increased the digestibility of nutrients on 1,5-2% and nitrogen retention - on 4%. Substitution in mixed fodder for bull-calves of 33 and 67% of fodder grain by dried distiller's grains made it possible to increase daily average live weight gain of animals respectively on 10 and 4%. Feeding of dried and fresh distiller's grains at simultaneous introduction in rations of complex mineral additive promoted the activation of metabolic processes that was proved by increasing of crude protein of blood at 6-7% and 5-8%, as well as decreasing of concentration of urea - on 25 and 22% respectively. Use of 33% of dried distiller's grains as a part of mixed fodder for cattle young stock proved to be economically effective and allowed to lower the cost price of a live weight gain on 10-11%. Feeding with fresh distiller's grains allowed to lower the prime cost price on 7% and to receive additional profit.
