Realization of veterinary and sanitary examination of meat and slaughter products of calves treated with hyperimmune serum against cattle colibacillosis was conducted in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. There were formed two groups calves of 3-5 days old. Calves of the first group were treated with serum biological preparation of trial series produced at Vitebsk Biofabrika (Belarus). Calves of the second group were intact animals. Calves of each group were killed in 14 days after preparation application for realization of veterinary-sanitary examination. Slaughter meat was studied in accordance with the following indexes: pH; peroxidase activity; presence of products of primary protein breakdown; moisture content; relative biological value of meat; bacterial examination. The research results of organoleptic indicators showed that meat of both groups corresponded to the standards. Hyperimmune serum against colibacillosis of live-stock animals did not render negative influence on organoleptic, physical and chemical indexes of meat. Indexes of the relative biological value in meat of calves treated with the examined serum were higher than the similar indexes of intact animals. Meat of all examined animals did not have any germs of toxico-infections and toxicoses

The study has stated that heifer replacements, from the date of birth to 18 months, got through transplantation of frozen-defrosted embryos were not inferior to and in many cases superior to the heifers of their age but got through traditional reproduction. Transplant first-calf heifers have a high level of milk productivity which amounts to 7536,10 kilos, with 3,62% of fat and 3,23% of protein. Thus they provide a good selection material for new generation champions to be chosen among them and for being used as mothers of bulls for service

The comparative analysis of parameters of an estimation of own efficiency of animal Landrace and Yorkshire breeds of the Canadian selection and their descendants has shown, that young pigs of the first generation surpassed the parents in a daily average gain, and in too time conceded on body length and fat thickness

Investigation of histomorphological characteristics, organoleptic and physicochemical parameters of sheep meat and slaughter products, their biological value and bacterial number was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Research results established that administration of liquid extract of common St.-John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) made it possible to obtain the substantial degree of sheep carcass bleeding, as well as the formation of a drying crust on a carcass surface. At a cut there was revealed the firm texture meat of light red or red color. Cut surface was wet and had specific flavour for the observed type of meat. Fat was solid, white or with yellow colour tone; tendons were elastic and solid. Analysis of boiled meat of sheep which were administrated by amber liquid essence showed that the cooking water was clear, without foreign odor. Meat of sheep, which were administrated by 2,5 % albazen suspension and were killed at 2 and 7 investigation days, had light medical odor in cooking water. In control variants the organoleptic parameters of sheep carcasses corresponded to fresh meat parameters of healthy animals. Realized physical-chemical analysis established the positive qualitative reaction to activity of peroxydase ferment in all meat samples, as well as the negative reaction to determination of primary protein breakdown products. Organoleptic and physical-chemical parameters of sheep meat after administration of amber liquid essence did not have any differences from animal meat of the control group

Evaluation of amino-acid, mineral, and vitamin content, as well as indexes of meat safety obtained from young stock of cattle of different genotypes in accordance with possibility of its application as raw material for baby food production was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. In course of study there were used bull calves of white-and-black breed, Limousin breed and their crossbreeds. Research results showed that young stock of Limousin breed, Limousin x white-and-black crossbreds, and white-and-black breed (control group) gave high quality meat. In meat of animals of experimental groups there was stated high quality of almost all nonessential amino acids and nonreplaceable amino acids, in meat of crossbreeds there was noted considerable increasing of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In it there was 12,31% of linoleic acid against 4,75 in Limousin breed and 2,77% in white-and-black breed; and eicosatetraenoic acid – 2,4% against 1,24% and 0,7%, respectively. Also in meat of experimental bull calves there was stated higher content of vitamins, calcium and phosphorus, while the content of cuprum and zinc decreased

It is determined on the basis of conducted researches on perfection of energy-protein nutrition norm of young cattle of 6-12 months of age that 11,5 MJ of exchange energy at 6-7 months of age and decease to 10 MJ for 12 month of age is needed in 1 kg of dry matter to get 1000 g of average daily weight gain. 8-9 g of digestible, 5 g of non-digestible protein should come for 1 MJ of exchange energy of a diet. 1 kg of DM (Dry Matter) should contain 133-150 g of crude and 46-54 g of non-digestible protein

For the well-timed prevention and treatment of sick animals there was analyzed the therapeutic efficiency of a produced survivor serum against acute respiratory diseases of sheep and lambs, as well as Catosal in combination with Nitox 200 against the mixed flow of parainfluenza-3, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial, chiamydial and pasteurellosis infection. Comparative efficiency of all mentioned preparations was presented. Research results showed the correct and timely application of drug preparations as well as their qualitative selection made it possible to lower the death cases. Application of the presented survivor serum in combination with Nitox 200 and Catosal made it possible to lower the loss of cattle in 4-5 times and increase the viability rate of animals

Analysis of influence of boar genotype by MUC4 gene on viability of progeny was realized in the conditions in the Republic of Belarus, as well as the evaluation of possibilities of association of polymorphic variants of gene with fattening and meaty qualities of obtained from the boars progeny were conducted. In course of studies there was analyzed the polymorphism of MUC4 gene at producer boars of studied breeds. There was revealed high occurring frequency of desirable allele MUC4**c and MUC4**cc genotype in all studied populations. Boars of Belarusian Meaty breed with genotypes MUC4**cc by MUC4 gene authentically (P less than 0,01) exceeded boars with genotype MUC4**cg according to piglet viability indexes at weaning period on 5,6%. For the further evaluation of the potential role of MUC4gene in marker selection there was realized determination of relations between genotypes of studied marker and other economic traits of swine (fattening and meaty traits of boar progeny). There was stated the authentic increasing of fattening and meaty traits of stores obtained from boars with homozygous genotype MUC4**cc in comparison with progeny fathers of which in their genotype had mutant allel MUC4**g. For the forecasting and modeling of genotypes resistant to colibacillosis there was presented a scheme of selection boars and sows of different genotypes by MUC4 gene for the increasing of progeny viability. According to the scheme the preferred selection was MUC4**cc x MUC4**cc. This selection was recommended for the self-replacement and creation of nuclear stock

The influence of polymorphism of gene IGF-2 on feeding and meat qualities of pigs of Belarusian Large White breed was studied. It is established, that frequency of presumptive preferable allele Q gene IGF-2 reaches 0,75-0,98% at boars of meat breeds and 0,34% - at Belarusian Large White breed. The young boars of breed with genotype QQ authentically surpass the analogues with a genotype qq on development, and feeding young pigs – on meat-feeding to qualities. Gene IGF-2 it is possible to consider as genetic marker of growth rate of pigs of the Belarusian Large White breed

The present research deals with slaughter and morphological characteristics as well as physical and chemical properties of meat of young hogs taken off fattening estimated bearing relationship to back fat thickness of sow. The above data have been obtained in the commercial swine production farm specialized in three-way rotational crossbreeding in its breeding programme
