In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied rumen digestion of ruminants after their feeding with green mass of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) and buckwheat haylage. Special attention was given to studying of enzymatic processes taking place in rumen. The experiments were realized in vitro with application of simulator Rusinec (Rumirant Simulation Technique) for the imitation of digestion processes taking place in cattle rumen. On the Rusinec (n=4/diet) stimulator there were analyzed 5 rations on the basis of hay with buckwhear addition in dose of 0,300 or 600 g/kg on the form of green mass and haylage. None of the above mentioned forms of buckwheat in vitro experiments rendered negative influence on rumen digestion and concentration of volatile fatty acids. Application of buckwheat green mass made it possible to lower the quantity of bacterium in rumen content; while buckwheat haylage – the number of protozoon organisms. There was marked a tendency to lowering of fleshed methane.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the efficiency of application of national mineral additives (mineral feed additive produced on the basis of dolomitic meal) in rations of milking cows. In course of the study there were analyzed physical and chemical blood indexes; hematological indexes of cows; biochemical blood indexes; mineral composition of blood; natural resistance of cows. As a result of the realized study it was established, that an optimum dose of a dolomitic meal for milking cows during the winter period was 0,3% per dry matter of a diet. There was proved the possibility of increasing of a daily average milk yield of cows on 11,7%, fat and protein content in milk - on 0,04 - 0,06%, as well as lowering of quantity of somatic cells on 13,6%. Application of a national mineral additive rendered the positive influence on blood indices to what that was proved by increasing of erythrocytes (on 10,9%), thrombocytes (on 5,4%), haemoglobin (on 6,5%), crude protein (on 10,6%), and also macro- and trace elements. Introduction of a dolomitic meal into cow diets made it possible to increase the indices of natural resistance of cows on 0,5 - 4,0%.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the interrelation between content of major nutrient elements (calcium and phosphorous) and trace elements (iron, copper, cobalt, and manganese) in forages and blood of first-calf cows at the first and last stages of lactation. Also, there were developed formulas of mixed forages and a premix for these animals. The studies were realized at the Agricultural Production Co-operative Olgovskoe of Vitebsk region (Belarus). Research of analysis of forages and state of mineral metabolismat heifers made it possible to draw following conclusions: in cow rations there was marked the deficiency of vitamin D, as well as some trace elements (cobalt and manganese) in the conditions of calcium and phosphorus excess. In spite of a high content in a calcium in diets, it was noted than in blood plasma the concentration of this element was below the standard for the majority of animals. Lack of cobalt and manganese of whole blood of cows was connected with a low level of these elements in cow diets. The surplus contents of copper in forages and blood of animals against the background low activity of ceruloplasmin the weakened antioxidant defense of heifer cows. For preventive treatment of possible hypo trace element deficiencies and metabolic disorders of heifer cows at the final stage of lactation there can be recommended the correcting of cow diets with inclusion into their composition of the developed for compound of mixed fodder and premix.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the veterinary and sanitary quality and safety of poultry slaughter products after application of a natural biological corrector VitoLAD produced in Belarus on the basis of cultivation of nonpathogenic strain of fungi Fusarium sambuninum MKF-2001-3 used for restoration of dysfunction disorders. As a result of the realized bacteriological research there were marked no pathogenic and opportunistic organisms in all experimental samples of meat and internal organs. Indices of biological value of meat of three experimental and control group had no authentic differences. Displays of toxicity for infusorians were not marked. Poultry meat of investigated samples in control, and all three experimental groups (doses of 0,25 ml/head - the second experimental group, a dose of 0,5 ml/head - the third experimental group and a dose of 1 ml/head - the fourth experimental group) in diets of which there was added the natural biological corrector VitoLAD, proved to be good-quality and harmless. In accordance with organoleptic, physical and chemical, bacteriological indexes, as well as biological value and harmlessness did not concede to meat of the control group. The complex veterinary and sanitary estimation of bird carcasses of three experimental and control groups did not show any deviations from existing standards that made it possible to organize production realization without restriction.

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.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were analyzed productivity indexes of sows of different families and family groups and their compatibility with male pigs of different lines of Belarusian meaty breed and Landras. On the basis of the realized research it was marked, that according to the number of piglets in a litter and multiple pregnancy distinctions between breeding sows of Landras breed and Belarusian meaty there was not observed. From sows of both breeds in average per farrowing there was obtain 11,0 - 11,2 piglets, including 10,4 - 10,5 live piglets, that exceeded requirements of the first class of the instruction on evaluation of pigs on 4,0 - 5,0%. At the same time, sows of the Belarusian meaty breed had litter weight at weaning in 40 days of 104 kg, that was authentically higher on 8 kg or on 8,3% (Р less than 0,001), than sows of Landras breed. In each breed there were some distinctions in sow productivity by families and in breeding with boars of different lines.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the metabolic status of cows in the finishing period of pregnancy, as well as influence of its disorders on clinical status and breeding and economic indexes of new-born calves. Research results showed in pregnant cows in interlactation period there was stated the development of subclinical poly-hyper trace element deficiencies. There was realized the analysis of indexes of trace elements metabolism in cow blood; blood indexes characterizing protein metabolism; as well as biochemical blood indexes characterizing the carbohydrate metabolism and functional state of liver and kidneys. In the conditions of subclinical poly-hyper trace element deficiencies of cows there were revealed the biochemical changes which showed the lowering of the functional activity of liver and intoxication. Economic and clinical indexes of calf crop were analyzed. Research results showed that in calves (obtained from cows with trace element deficiencies) in an early extrauterine life there statedthe development of a toxic form of dyspeptic disorder which was accompanied with high degree of young stock death.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the propagation, botanical characteristic, chemical composition and pharmacological properties of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre) and its application in the veterinary practice against strongylatosis (Strongylata) of gastrointestinal system of cattle young stock. Reserch results showed that the perennial herbage plant marsh cinquefoil from Rosales (Rosaceae) family possessed different therapeutic properties: antipyretic agent; styptic agent; diuretic agent; bonding agent; wound healing substance; tonic agent; promotoring agent. Research results showed that the preparative forms (broth; liqueur; liquid juice; powder) of marsh cinquefoil possessed an active agent proanthocyanidin, a condensed tanning substance which were included into composition of a polyphenolic complex and proved to be efficient for treatment of cattle young stock strongylatosis.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the clinical and biochemical status of pregnant cows, as well as the determination of the main reasons of disease incidence of new-born calves with dyspepsia (dyspeptic disorder). Realized clinical and biochemical studies showed that the inappropriate feeding of pregnant cows in animal breeding farms in housing season of husbandry caused the disorders of metabolic processes in the experimental animals. In blood there was noted the lowering of indexes of alkalinity reserve, glucose, phosphorous, carotine, disturbance of calcareous and phosphorous ratio. In other words, in pregnant cows there were stated the latent forms of osteodystrophia, hypovitaminosis A, hypoglycemia, and acidosis. All these factors caused the irritation and damage of liver and other organs. Mammary gland of diseased animals released colostrum milk of low quality and according to the content of nutritious and protective elements quantity it was of low quantity. Besides, derangements in calf feeding of pregnant nonmilking cows led to birth of calves with low resistance indexes to the influence of external environment factors.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were analyzed the efficiency of 13-18-month old young stock of cattle bred for meat in the conditions of various energy value nutrition levels with the determination of nutrients intake of a diet. It was established that use of rations with various level of metabolic energy and protein breakage rendered the positive influence on nutrient digestibility of rations. This made it possible to improve the digestibility of dry and organic substances, nitrogen-free extractive substances and fibre at the bull calves which were fed with 63% of cleavable protein, as well as to increase the metabolic energy up to 10% in the ration, surpassing the control indexes respectively on 3.1; 2.5; 2.8; and 2.9 items. Adjournment from the acquired nitrogen considerably increased and made up to 64-70%. Productivity of fattening young cattle stock made it possible to obtain 977.7-1011.0 gram of live weight gain. As a result, the growth energy was stated at the level of 15,90-17,33 МJ in the conditions of conversion of metabolic energy into growth of 13,81-14,26% and expenses of metabolic energy of the ration per 1 MJ in live weight gain of 4,72-5,46 MJ.
