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.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was realized a complex evaluation of producer bulls of different genotypes of origin for the further correction and breeding in different categories of agricultural enterprises. In course of the study there was conducted a preliminary (without quality evaluation of daughters) estimation of bulls which gave a precise performance of each bull, made it possible to correct its type and direction of breeding. Research made it possible to considerably increase the genetic trend in accordance with indexes of milk productivity which would make it possible to form a regional type of black-and-white cattle with the given indexes of productivity and reproduction. In course of the study there were analyzed the following breeds: black-and-white, Holstein, Hungarian breeding, Swedish breeding. Comparative evaluation of reproductive qualities of bulls in accordance with age-specific and breed types was presented. Body conformations of bulls of Holsten and Black-and-white of different ae-specific groups were stated. Results of complex evaluation of full-grown, under 5 year-old and replacement producing bulls of Holstein and Black-and-white breeds were presented.

Research on determination of changes of morphological and biochemical blood indexes of sheep with fasciolosis after application of the drug Klozantsid (menizol 20%, produced in the Republic of Belarus) was carried out. The research realized in the conditions of the Scientific and Research Institute of Applied Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology of the Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine. In course of the experiment there were used sheep of Romanovskaya breed at the age from 1,5 till 5 years which were spontaneously infected with fasciola. The experimental animals were administrated with the examined antihelminthic preparation. It was found out that after administration of the preparation there was stated the restoration of a level of erythrocytes, haemoglobin, leukocytes, enzymes, proteins and other blood indexes. Klozantsid did not render toxic influence on studied animals. | Проведены исследования по выяснению изменений морфологических и биохимических показателей крови у овец с фасциолёзной инвазией при применении препарата Клозанцид. Исследования проводили в условиях клиники и лаборатории кафедры паразитологии и инвазионных болезней, лаборатории кафедры клинической диагностики, научно-исследовательского института прикладной ветеринарной медицины и биотехнологии учреждения образования «Витебская ордена «Знак Почёта» государственная академия ветеринарной медицины». Объектом исследования являлись овцы романовской породы в возрасте от 1,5 до 5 лет, спонтанно зараженные фасциолами, которым применяли испытуемый препарат, обладающий антигельминтными свойствами. При этом выяснено, что после введения препарата происходит восстановление уровня эритроцитов, гемоглобина, лейкоцитов, ферментов, белков и других показателей. Клозанцид не оказывал токсического влияния на организм животного.

In the conditions of Vitebsk region of the Republic of Belarus there was realized a programme on creation of breed type of Hereford cattle. In course of the study there were realized experiments on increasing the number of livestock of beef cattle breeding by means of accumulation cross breeding of black-and-white cattle with Hereford producer bulls as well as by means of pedigree breeding of Hereford cows and calves imported from Russia and Hungary for the production of marbled beef. Breeding background of obtained purebred calves was determined by DNA-testing method in accordance with the international standard of certification. Into the breeding group of created meat type of Hereford cattle in the analyzed cattle breeding enterprise there were selected 1183 heads, including 24,2% of purebred animals and 17,2% hybrids of the third and fourth generations. The breeding estimation thoroughbred Hereford cattle showed that all producer bulls belonged to the class elite-record. The percentage of cows and heifers of the elite-record class was 89,3% in the conditions of growing number of a thoroughbred livestock on 98 heads. Purebred young stock in number of 45 heads and their mother passed the estimation of their origin by DNA method-testing.
