In course of realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus research there were studied the relations of the most widely spread helminthes and protozoan which infest in gastrointestinal tract of dogs with the normal microflora of small intestine and large intestine. Research results showed that in the conditions of single-agent infestation and associative parasitic disease of dogs caused by Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonine, Dipylidium caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Taenia sp., Isospora ochioensis, Isospora canis and Eimeria canis in small and large intestine of sick animals there was seldom stated the changes of quality and quantity composition of microflora. In the conditions of mixed agents infestation the microflora composition changed more intensively

Research results on usage of DNA-markers (RYRI, FABP, ESRF18/FUTI) and other factors for industrial pork production were presented. It was determined that DNA-technologies let conduct interbreed crossing on industrial scale and get diverse (fat or meat, with different fat content) products, as well as increase pork production in general. The best variants of crossing combinations were pigs of the Belarus large white breed with Belarus meat and Dyurok, and also the Belarus large white breed with Landras and Dyurok. Research results showed, for in course of the whole period of breeding the daily average weight gain of hybrids of the large white with the Belarus meat and breeds Landras was higher than with the Estonian bacon on 25 and 18 g, respectively. Fattening of stores was finished at the period of achievement of body weight by 100-102,5 kg. The slaughter yield of meat products by groups (without intestinal fat) did not essentially differ and varied within 69,9 - 71,1%. There were noted no considerable distinctions in weight of internals (heart, lungs, kidneys, spleen, liver). Thickness of the salted pork fat at hybrids with animals of the Belarus meat breed was 1-2 mm lower than in other. The average meat yield of diverting weir was 61,9%, fat weight - 27,9%, bone weight - 10,2%. The organoleptic evaluation of beef-infusion broth quality showed that indicators of habit, aroma and taste and nourishing were at high level and compose 4,67; 4,59; 4,55 and 4,71 points, respectively. Tenderness, juiciness and taste of boiled meat also were at level 4,69; 4,76 and 4,87 points, respectively; fried meat - 4,57; 4,68 and 4,66 points

Disinfection of cattle-breeding farms and their equipment is an action directed towards eradication of causative agents of infectious diseases in environment, towards the liquidation of the infection focal points as one of epizootic chains by means of application of various chemical substances. Study of the corrosive activity of developed in Belarus disinfectants and their comparison with the foreign analogues was realized. Cattle-breeding premises possess considerable metal consumption. Traditional disinfectants possess the expressed corrosive action and cause the substantial deterioration and damage of metal structures of premises. In recent years there were developed and recommended for application in veterinary science some new nontoxical, ecologically safe disinfectants, developed with the assistance of scientists of the S.N. Vyshelesskij Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine of Belarus, such as: Virkotsid (technical specifications BY 190245337.001-2007), Sandim-D (technical specifications BY 100917107.001-2007), combined disinfectant of surfaces, Valisan (technical specifications BY 101385752.001-2006), Belopag (technical specifications BY 100162869.059-2005), Belsteril (technical specifications BY 500027013.001-001-2003) and Vitmol (technical specifications BY 300047997.001-2003). Research results showed that the analysed disinfectants possessed less corrosive activity to metals in comparison with the foreign analogues (Glutex, Dezavid, Virkon C, etc.). The least severity of corrosion was stated in the disinfectants representing the compositions of the bactericide agents (Sandim-D, KDP, Belopag, Vitmol, Virkotsid, Valisan, etc)

The modern technology applied on poultry enterprises of the Republic of Belarus made provision for high concentration of poultry population density at the comparatively small housing areas of integrated poultry farms which caused the deterioration of sanitary conditions in poultry houses, especially by the end of the growing period. Broiler chickens grown under such conditions were constantly experiencing the microbe stress which eventually caused the heightened culling and poultry losses caused by different diseases caused both by pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microflora. For the current disinfection in presence of poultry it was proposed to use sprayings with malic and succinic acids, which made it possible to realize not only the air sanation in poultry houses, but also increase broiler chicken viability. The highest bactericidal activity of apple acid aerosol against air microflora was stated within 3 hours after carrying out indoors treatment. After disinfection the general microbic air contamination decreased in 2-10 times, quantity of microorganisms of colimorphic groups and staphilococcus in 1,4-1,75 and 2-10 times, respectively, in comparison with the original air values realized before air treatment in poultry houses. In the following, there was stated the gradual increase of a level of microbic air contamination within 24 hours. The best effect of the preparation was stated against Staphylococcus. Thus, the quantity of Staphylococcus in air decreased in 10 times in comparison with initial data

Application of ethologic techniques in commercial swine production made it possible to take into account the specific features of pigs, to separate animals suitable and unsuitable for animal husbandry in the conditions of industrial production technology, as well as to solve many other problems connected with management, animal behaviour at farms and complexes, that could make it possible to obtain additional production without investing additional material resources. The behavioural trait of emotional stress resistance rendered the authentic positive impact on growth rate of piglets during the suckling period. Taking into consideration, that emotional stress resistance, as well as the temperament as a whole, remained invariable as long as life endures, it could be possible to recommended to use the analysed trait for the selection of young stock for self- replacement in the conditions of pig-breeding complexes, and for the selection of the most fast-growing animals with the simultaneous steady resistance to the emotional stress. In the process of replacement pigs selection it was inefficient to take into consideration only their live weight. Considering that the live weight of some piglets which were non-resistant to emotional stress, but with heavy litter, was high enough, however, as their temperament did not vary as long as life endures and emotional instability will necessarily manifest itself in the subsequent parent qualities of the future sows

The efficiency of influence of iodon on the reproductive function of fullmouthed sire bulls of white-and-black breed was studied in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. There were formed two groups of sire bulls: experimental group with low indices of sperm quality; control one – with high indices. In course of studying the interrelation of thyroid and sexual glands there was established the presence of parallelism in their development and function. In a period of sexual arousal the thyroid gland came into hyperactivity condition. At the same time, the quantity of triiodothyronine increased from 2,23 +/-0,02 to 3,05 +/-0,02 ng/ml, thyroxine - from 38,7 +/-1,02 to 59,8 +/-1,07 ng/ml. For the increasing of the reproductive qualities of sire bulls there was developed a iodine-containing preparation Iodon which should be spread with a medical syringe over a skin along the spine column. Iodon preparation applied in such a way made it possible to reduce the stressful influence more efficiently in comparison with an injection; it was well acquired and promoted the increasing of the reproductive function of sire bulls. The Iodon was developed on a basis of dimethylsulfoxide that promoted the efficient absorption through a skin. The preparation is a homogeneous hyaloid russet liquid with a specific smell, it is produced in bottles of 200 and 400 cm cubic. Iodon preparation realizes medical and preventive action in cases of impairment of sexual glands function against the background of iodine hunger. The preparation does not possess any allergenic properties, shows weak cumulative properties, and is harmless. The sperm quality improvement has been marked in all parameters, sexual reflexes become more stable and vigorous, animal fertility increased

Results of study of a pollution level of drinking water around a pig-breeding complex and degree of its distribution in Gorodok district of the Republic of Belarus were presented. For carrying out the monitoring of water objects around the pig-breeding complex there was analysed the drinking water in Palminka and Gorodok localities. Water tests were taken once in three months (September, December, March, June), in the morning. Tests of drinking water used on complexes, were taken once a month. Research results showed that drinking water quality on the pig-breeding complex was considerably lower in comparison with the remoted from it water sources. Closeness of the pig-breeding complex lowered the water quality both on the territory of swine complex and on the territory of neighboring objects. Results of the chemical water analysis, organoleptic estimation, and water correspondence to the sanitary-hygienic standard were presented

Determination of the influence of new premixes on sperm quality and natural resistance of sire bulls during winter and summer periods was realized in the conditions of the republic of Belarus. Application of the developed vitamin and mineral additive in rations of sire bulls in course of winter and summer periods made it possible to increase their natural resistance, that was proved by the 7,2-8,8% increasing of the bactericidal activity of blood serum indicators, 0,6% increasing of lysozymic activity of blood serum, and 3,3-5,1% increasing of the phagocytic ability of leukocytes. There was determined the possibility to increase sire bull sperm quality during different year periods by means of application of the enhanced doses of vitamins and trace elements. As a result, the ejaculate volume increased on 7,4-2,4%, concentration of male germ cells in ejaculate on - 6,3-7,8%, sperm activity - on 6,7-7,3%, and also there was stated the decrease of spoilage percent of sperm production. Results of the industrial testing have confirmed efficiency of use of the recommended vitamin and mineral additive and calculated on its basis premixes. Its application made it possible to increase the quality of bull of sperm production on 3,6-10,8%

During the sanitary-hygienic evaluation of livestock-rearing farm building (cow kennel and calf pens) by means of industrial and traditional technology there were revealed the infringements of constructive and exploit matter in ventilation system which proved to be the reason for formation of dissatisfactory stable climate. In case of the appropriate estimation, adherence to specification of ventilation construction and rather attentive attitude to the problem of ventilation regulation there could be obtained the positive results in optimization of air medium in animal husbandry houses. Support of air physical properties in livestock houses at the optimum hygienic level was possible only by means of ventilation and a choice of construction materials corresponding to the veterinary and hygienic requirements. The necessity of heat accumulation in livestock houses unites all mentioned above requirements. In some animal husbandry farms in the Republic of Belarus there was applied the mechanical ventilation. However, it was a great mistake to install only the air-moving device without heat exchanger installation. Therefore, an important point for optimization of microclimate livestock houses should be the determination of building thermal balance

The organizational aspects of reproduction in a swine heard were featured, the productivity indices of the crossbred sows obtained through the crisscrossing of the Belarusian Large White, Belarusian Black and White and Estonian Bacon pig breeds were given. The duration of the gestation period for the sows of different origin was shown. The results of the realized experiment showed that at all stages of reproduction there was required the full-value feeding and the maintenance of animals, observance of terms of revealing of sexual hunting and timely insemination of sow. For the systematic increase of swine productivity for selection of replacement pigs for reproduction besides the standard indicators it was necessary to consider the duration of gestation period. In course of study there was stated the well-defined consistent pattern of increasing of pig average weight which were born from sows with the lengthened gestation period. Piglets with the standard and extended term of prenatal growth showed higher indices of body weight at a birth and surpassed their herd mates with the shortened duration of prenatal development on 8,6-10,5% (Р less 0,001). Heavy litter of pigs affected the intensity of their subsequent development. At the weaning stage the weight of 1 pig with the shortened prenatal development was 6,25 kg, and the weight of pigs with the standard and extended periods - 6,62 kg (Р less 0,001) and 6,89 kg (Р less 0,001), respectively and exceeded on 5,9% and 10,2%. The 3-month age pigs with the shortened prenatal development lag behind herd mates with the standard and extended period of prenatal development in the indices of growing capacity on 1,2-1,4 kg (4,0-4,6%). The same tendency was noted after fattening period
