Dynamics of the morphofunctional processes in the digestive system in ruminants since their birth till the transfer to the ruminant status have been investigated. Also studies are carried out on the digestive apparatus in the ostrich and its morphological peculiarities and changes in onthogenesis; strongilatosis of the digestive organs in goats of different age, their effect on the stomach morphofunctional condition, body metabolism as well as on the quality indices of goat’s milk and meat. Investigations have been started in novel scientific directions in veterinary medicine in Latvia – in electrocardiophysiology, veterinary anaesthesiology, and dentistry. In co-operation with the Riga Technical University, the scientists of the Faculty are carrying out the new high-quality prosthesis of blood vessels, implants of hernia patches and other types of clinical approbation on experimental animals. Investigation of reproductive problems in domestic animals is continued. Risk factors of endoparasitoses-zoonoses infection in Latvia have been analysed focusing on trichinellosis and toxoplasmosis.
