The spectrum of acaricides changes continuously and improves. At the same time, big attention is given to research of new, more effective preparations meeting modern requirements. Research on studying the efficiency of Akaribil preparation against swine sarcoptosis (Sarcoptidae) was realized in the conditions of swine breeding farm in the Republic of Belarus. The preparation possesses high insect-acaricidal activity. In the conditions of the preparation storage and repeated opening of a ware in the course of tests there were stated no changes in drug smell or color. The scheme of the preparation application is applied in industrial production technology. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties, antiseptic stimulating healing of skin damages, does not irritate integuments, renders weak irritating effect on mucous membranes of eyes. In recommended doses Akaribil does not cause any adverse effects and complicating disease. There were stated no contraindications to preparation application. High therapeutic efficiency against arachnoentomosis was proved. Application the preparation made it possible not only to reduce disease incidence and animal death, but also to facilitate the severity of scabietic diseases. As a result of realized research it was established that efficiency of Akaribil against swine sarcoptosis was 100%.

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 was studied the influence of methods and means of spot heating and localization of warmth on indexes of microclimate in piglet breeding houses and resting area of piglets and their growth parameters. In course of the study there taken into consideration the indexes of an average temperature on piglet resting area housings; atmosphere relative humidity, air velocity, content of carbon dioxide, content of hydrogen nitride in the housing and resting areas of piglets. Research results of microclimate of swine breeding areas and resting areas of piglets under different means and methods of heating and warmth localization showed that the it was the most efficient to add for the local heating in the first three weeks of suckling period the glow-discharge tubes or in suckling period or weanling periods - the heated floors; and in suckling period - brooders in the form of tops with shields.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the morphology and growth dynamics of vomeronasal cartilage of swine at postnatal period. The vomeronasal cartilage covers the vomeronasal body outside. Lateral and medial bases of vomeronasal cartilage formed an antrum in which there was an organon vomeronasal. The most intensive growth of a cartilage of pigs occurred in the first two months of animal life. Arrangement of cartilage was dissymmetric - at the right it was sited more caudad than at the left; this fact caused the differences in its dimensions at the transverse sections.

On the basis of realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus research it was established, that Cryptosporidial infection was found at adult and young pigs. The data on influence studying cryptosporidiosis invasion on pathomorphological changes in internal organs of piglets in the conditions of an associative course with infectious. Associative diseases give clearer clinical findings and proceed much harder, with heavier morphological changes. The majority of diseases in the conditions of an associative course proceeds harder in comparison with a mono-infection or invasion. In the conditions of mono-invasion the basic changes are localized in small intestines, causing acute and subacute catarrhal enteritis and a serous inflammation of regional mesenteric lymphonodus. These histological processes are presented as non-uniform locus of infection of a mucous membrane of intestines with atrophy of villus, hypertrophy of crypth and mononuclear polymorphic-nuclear infiltration of basal membranes. In the conditions of association of Cryptosporidial infection with infectious diseases it was noted that the pathomorphological changes progress and are showed not only by catarrhal, but also by hemorrhagic and local necrotic enteritis. Epithelium of mucous membrane is exposed to desquamation, intestines walls become thinner because of meteorism. Thick intestines are also involved into inflammatory process. Associations of Cryptosporidial infection with infectious diseases lead to development of severe pathomorphological changes in intestines. Alteration has prevailing character that is expressed in progressive development of atrophic, dystrophic processes and decline of cells and tissues that conducts to increase of permeability of vessels and proliferation of cells of reticuloendothelial system. | На основании проведенных исследований установлено, что криптоспоридиозная инвазия выявляется у поросят. Представлены данные по изучению влияния инвазии криптоспоридиоза на патоморфологические изменения во внутренних органах поросят при ассоциативном течении с инфекционными болезнями. Ассоциативные заболевания дают более яркую клиническую картину и протекают гораздо тяжелее, с более выраженными морфологическими изменениями в организме. Большинство болезней при ассоциативном течении протекает более тяжело в сравнении с моноинфекцией или инвазией. При моноинвазии основные изменения локализуются в тонком кишечнике, вызывая острый и подострый катаральный энтериты и серозное воспаление регионарных брыжеечных лимфоузлов. Гистологические данные процессы представлены, как неоднородные участки инфицирования слизистой оболочки кишечника с атрофией ворсинок, гипертрофией крипт и мононуклеарной полиморфнооядерной инфильтрацией базальной мембраны. При ассоциации криптоспоридиоза с инфекционными заболеваниями патоморфологические изменения прогрессируют и проявляются не только катаральным, но геморрагическим и очаговым некротическим энтеритами. Эпителий слизистой оболочки подвергается десквамации, стенки кишечника истончаются вследствие метеоризма. В воспалительный процесс также вовлекается толстый кишечник. Ассоциации криптоспоридиоза с инфекционными заболеваниями приводят к развитию в кишечнике тяжелых патоморфологических изменений. Альтерация имеет преобладающих характер, что выражается в прогрессивном развитии атрофических, дистрофических процессов и некроза клеток и тканей, что ведет к повышению проницаемости сосудов и пролиферации клеток ретикулоэндотелиальной системы.

Investigation of method of gastroenteritis treatment of stores by means of application of enterosorbents was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. For the experiment there was used preparation Lactofiltrum containing 80% of hydrolyzed lignin and 20% of lactulose applied in dose of 0,3 g/kg once a day during 7 days. Efficiency of application of Lactofiltrum was compared with enterosorbent SV-2, which contained alcaline hydrolyzed lignin applied in dose of 1 g/kg once a day during 7 days. Four experimental groups piglets sick with gastroenteritis in the age of 1,5-2 months, with body weight of 15-17 kg were used in the experiment. The first group piglets were entered 0,3 g/kg body mass of Lactofiltrum once a day during 7 days. The second group piglets were entered enterosorbent SV-2 in dose of 1 g/kg in course of 7 days. For the piglets of the third group there was applied the complex of analysed preparations in same course of treatment. The fourth group of piglets was entered enrotim 10% in dose of 1 ml/ 20 kg of body mass. All animals had the same conditions of feeding and keeping. Research results showed that application of Lactofiltrum, SV-2 and their complex provided high antioxidative, detoxification, gepathoprotective activities. These preparations proved to be effective means of pathogenetic therapy for the treatment of gastroenteritis of piglets, both as individual preparations, and complex application. Comparative estimation of treatment methods of gastroenteritis showed that these preparations (except enrotim 10%) made it possible to regulate the metabolic processes due to elimination of intoxication, positive influence on hematopoiesis. The preparations lowered the duration of clinic manifestation of a disease and facilitated its duration, had gepathoprotective and antioxidative activity

Studying of topical-product-induced irritation properties of pharmaceutical forms elecampane (Inula helenium) (herbal infusion, tincture, liquid and dry extracts) on skin integuments and conjunctiva of experimental animals (Guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus), rabbits (Oryctolagus), sheep and piglets). Research results showed that the preparative forms of elecampane had poorly expressed irritating properties after application on the skin of animals, as well as weak irritating action with the exception of the native forms of tincture and liquid extract of eye conjunctiva, that proved their total low toxic effect. Topical-product-induced irritation effect of herbal infusion (1:10), tincture and liquid extract in constitution (40 % concentration) and suspension of dry extract in strength of 10%, 15%, and 20% after the single application on skin could be referred to the I class – absence of irritating action. Topical-product-induced irritation effect of herbal infusion and liquid extract in native form (70% concentration) could be referred to the II class – light irritating action. Irritating activity of herbal infusion of eye conjunctiva was evaluated as light, as it was insignificant and short. Irritating action of suspended matter of dry extract in strength of 10%, 15%, and 20% was estimated as a limited one, which disappeared in 24 hours. Irritating action of tincture and liquid extract in constitution (40 % concentration) was evaluated as a high-grade one, which did not disappear in 24 hours. Irritating action of tincture and liquid extract in native form (70 % concentration) was evaluated as a pronounced one, which did not disappear for than 24 hours

Determination of possible relations between some metabolic activity indexes of Large White pregnant sows (with various pregnancy stages) and their offspring was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. In the experimental animals there was taken blood for hematologic and biochemical tests. In peripheral blood there was analyzed the average content of hemoglobin, total number of erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes and corpuscular volume. Content of total protein, albuminolesterin, concentration total kalium and nonorganic phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, activity of alanine- and aspartate transaminase were evaluated in blood serum. Blood tests were made on 84th day of pregnancy, in 30 days before farrowing, on the 2-nd lactation day and on the 2-nd and 35-th days of piglet life. Research results showed high degree of persistence of iron and zinc deficiency of pregnant sows in the conditions of modern national swine production. The obtained results proved the presence of close relationship between metabolic processes of sows and piglets that was revealed in low degree of stores supply with elements which had been in deficit for their mothers

Studying of therapeutic effectiveness of metabolic probiotic Diamixan (sterile concentrate of waste products of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus debrueckii, and Streptococcus salivarius) against piglet gastroenteritis appearing at weaning period was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. The analyzed preparation contained complex of substances: bioartificial lactic acid, amino acids, polysaccharides, and some other ingdredients. In course of analysis of the state of intestinal microbiocenosis there were analyzed the following indexes: bifidus bacteria; lactic acid bacillus; E. coli; enterococcus; Proteus; Staphylococcus saprophyticus; Clostridia; yeast-like fungi; enterobacteria. Research results showed that application of the examined preparation made it possible to shorter the terms of animal recovery on 2,2 days, as well as to facilitate the severity of a disease. Bottle feeding of the metabolic probiotic promoted the stabilization and normalization of the main hematological indexes. The analyzed preparation created the optimal pH in lumen of the intestine, inhibited the rowth of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria, promoted quicker reconstruction of microecological status by means of normalization of standard flora of bifidus bacteria and lactic acid bacillus

Investigation of influence of water improved by potassium permanganate solution on welfare and productivity of piglets was realized in the conditions of swine breeding complex in the Republic of Belarus. In the experiment there were used 2 groups of 30-day old piglets. In course of 75 days of experiment the running water of pig complex was used for watering of piglets of control group. Piglets from the experimental group were given water with addition of 0,1% solution of potassium permanganate. Analysis of obtained results showed that water with potassium permanganate promoted the increasing of natural resistance of piglets. At the same time there was stated the increasing of lysozyme and bacterial activityin blood serum. Application of improved water promoted the increasing hemoglobin on 4,8-4,5%, erythrocytes - on 2,9-4,2% in comparison with control. Content of total protein increased on 2,2-2,8% in the experimental groups, lisozyme activity - 6,9-7,0% and bacterial activity - on 5-6,9%. Application of improved water did not influence the glucose and potassium concentration in blood. In the experimental group there was stated the increased lipid concentration on 3,1-6%, cholesterol - on 4,4-6,3%, potassium level - on 2,5-4,5%, phosphorus - on 0,7-5,3%, sodium - on 1,4-3,8%. Application of water with КMnО4 increased average daily weight gain on 5,2-4,2%
