Problem of ruminant monieziasis is widely distributed in the Republic of Belarus. For the eradication of farm holdings and complexes there was proposed a complex of measures which included the application of highly efficient anthelmintic agents, including preparations for injection therapy and prolonged substances for intrajejunal administration (boluces).

A technology of application autolysis of fodder yeasts (AFY) for the production of products with higher protein content, digestible aminoacids and other nutritive and biologically active substances in comparison with the standard fodder yeasts (provit) was tested in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus by an example of three groups of swine. Animals of the first (control) group were fed with combined feed SK-26 with addition of 2% of provit. Animals of the second group were fed with combined feed SR-26with addition of 2% of AFY, the third group - with addition 4% of AFY. Provit and AFY were included into combined feed instead of excluded protein components in equivalent number. Research results showed that autolysis of fodder yeasts did not render negative influence on productivity of fattening stores. Average daily weight gain of stores was 637-674 g. Calculation of economic efficiency of combined feeding application of 2 and 4% of AFY showed that application of 2% AFY was more economically profitable

Determination of the positive aspects of application of a feed additive on the basis of sodium humate and malt sprouts fortified with oaky extract in diets of high-productive cows in dry period was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Cows of black-and-white breed with average body weight 600 kg and milk-yield 6000-7000 kg were used in the experiment. Cows of experimental groups in addition to their main diet were fed with the resolved additive in doses 10-20 ml/100kg of live weight. Formula of humic additive with draft name Ehkolin-3 was developed on the basis of Ehkolin additive. Ehkolin additive in its composition contained the following compounds: organic substances; mineral substances; humic substances; melanoids; reducing agents; phenolic compounds; organic acids, and total nitrogen. Research results showed that application of the analyzed additive promoted the increasing enzyme activity in blood serum. Body weight of new born calves in experimental groups was higher than in control group. Symptoms of diseases of the digestive tract disappeared in 4-5 days in the experimental calves. Cows of the experimental groups had good colostral milk with density 1056 kg/mE3 and 55% of immunoglobulins. Impregnation capacity of in one experimental group was 50% after the first insemination, and only 33,3% and 20% in the control and the second experimental group, respectively

Studying of efficiency of application of a natural biological control agent BioLAD obtained as a result of cultivation of Fusarium sambucinum fungus in feeding of broiler chickens was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. There were studied 100 broiler chickens of Ross-308 cross. Broiler chickens of the first (control) group were fed with standard diet with PK-5-1. Broiler chickens of the experimental groups starting from one day old age till the end of the growing period (41 days old) were fed with feed supplement BioLAD in different doses: 0,25 ml/head (second group), 0,5 ml/head (third group), 1 ml/head (fourth group). Research results showed that natural biological control agent BioLAD in dose of 0,5 ml/head made it possible to increase chicken live weight on 11,2 %, viability - on 4,2%. Feeding charges per 1 kg of live weight gain were1,89 kg (second group), 1,81 kg (third group), 1,90 kg (fourth group). It made it possible to decrease the combined feed charges on 6,4% (second group), on 10,4% (third group), and on 5,9% (fourth group). Application of biological control agent BioLAD had an effect on poultry growth activity, promoted high level of chickens viability, increased the indices of general and local protection, stimulated metabolic processes

Determination of influence of combined feed with carnitine and 3% lipids on digestibility of nutrients in ration of fattening stores was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus by an example of 8 castrated male pigs of Belarusian meaty breed with body weight of 60-65 kg. Piglets were divided into 2 groups in accordance with analogue pair principle. Selected animals were kept in single cages specially equipped for fecal and urina gathering. Both groups of animals were given the same combined feed SK-26 which included 3% lipids. Experimental piglets were fed with combined feed with carnitine in dose of 50 g/t of mixed fodder. The mixed fodder contained the following ingredients: wheat; triticale; grain mixture; sunflower oil cakes; liprot SG; tricalcium phosphate; calcium carbonate; salt; premix KS-4; vegetable oil. Research results showed that enriching of combined feed carnitine rendered positive influence on digestibility and absorbency of nutrients. It made it possible to increase the digestibility of dry matter on 2,1%, organic matter on 2,0%, crude protein on 3,1%, crude fat on 7,4%, crude fiber on 8,6%, free-nitrogen extract on 1,1%, as well as to increase nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus absorbency. Quantity of saved nitrogen in the experimental group (with carnitine additive) was on 21,1% than in control one. Quantity of saved nitrogen and absorbed with feed was on 9,8% and 5,6% respectively higher than the same indexes for the control group; calcium - on 15,5% and 2,6%, phosphorus - on 23,3% and 3,7%, respectively

Japanese millet (Echinochloa frumentacea) growing and yielding capacity was estimated in single and mixed sowings cultivated on sod-podzolic light loamy soils in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus; as well as comparative evaluation of silage quality and determination of digestibility of nutrients. Field experiment with forage crops was realized in threefold replication in accordance with the following scheme: Japanese millet (100%); Japanese millet (70%) + vetch (Vicia) (30%); Japanese millet (70%) + lupine (Luoinus) (30%); Japanese millet (70%) + pea (Pisum) (30%); Japanese millet (70%) + soybean (Glycine max) (30%). Research results showed that mixed sowings of Japanese millet with bean cultures made it possible to obtain higher yields than single sowings on 5,9-15,6%. Silage made of Japanese millet with bean culture contained higher amount of crude protein on 2,73-3,98% in comparison with silage which was produces only from Japanese millet. Silage produced from Japanese millet mixture with high protein crops had high energy and protein value: 0,90-0,92 fodder units; 9,47-9,59 mJ of metabolic energy per 1 kg of dry matter and 102-103 g of digestible protein per 1 fodder unit

Determination of productivity and natural resistance indexes of laying hens after application of dry multienzyme preparation Vitazim (xylanase, 3600 units/g; cellulose, 3000 units/g; beta-glucanase, 7000 units/g); as well as the specification of optimal doses the enzyme were realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Research results showed that the best indexes of egg yields of laying hens were obtained after application in the main poultry diet of enzyme preparation Vitazim in dose 500 g/t that made it possible to increase the productivity in the experimemtal group on 12%. Application of Vitazim also promoted the increasing of natural resistance level of laying hens. There was stated the positive effect of Vitazim on bactericidal activity of blood serum. Before the beginning of test this index was the level of 44,35+/-0,92 – 56,52 +/-1,63. By the 300-th day of life the bactericidal activity of blood serum in experimental group administrated Vitazim in dose 300 g/t exceeded the control idexes on 3,8%; in the second experimental group (Vitazim in dose of 500 g/h) – on 29,5%; in the third experimental group (/vitazim on dose of 700 g/h) – on 23,7%.Vitazim administration also exercised positive influence on lysozyme activity in blood serum of lying hens

Determination of influence of polymorphism of gene of erythropoetin receptor (EPOR) on productive qualities of sows and reproductive characters of boars of Belarusian meaty breed was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Research results proved the possibility of EPOR gene application as a genetic marker which determined productive abilities of swine of Belarusian selection breed. Frequency of undesirable allel EPOR**c of EPOR gene in the analyzed swine stock balanced within the frames of wide range: from 44% for Belarusian meaty breed sows up to 78% for Belarusian Kripnaya Belaya breed sows. Analysis of influence of genotype with EPOR gene on multiple fetation of sows of Belarusian meaty breed showed that sows with the preferred genotype (EPOR**tt) statistically reliable (P less than 0,01) exceeded sows with undesirable genotype (EPOR**cc) in accordance with number of alive birth piglets on 1,7 heads. Among sows of Belarusian Kripnaya Belaya breed with genotype EPOR**ct there were stated multiple fetation indexes exceeding the sows with genotype EPOR**tt on 0,5 heads. Desirable EPOR**tt genotype irrespective of sow age rendered the positive influence on their multiple fetation. It was recommended to realize genetic testing on determination og polymorphism of gene of erythropoetin receptor among the animals of Belarusian meaty and Belarusian Kripnaya Belaya breeds. Selection of parental pairs of the selection nucleus was recommended to realize taking into consideration genotypes, giving preference to animals with EPOR**t allel

In course of realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus evaluation of growing intensity and level of meat productivity depending on cattle sex there was conducted the scientific and economic experiment by an example of two groups of white-and-black bull-calves and heifer calves. In the first growing period the animals of experimental groups were fed with milk substitute. At the stage of completion of growing and fattening the bulls and heifers of experimental groups obtained ration containing haylage, plus 2 kg of flattened grains and 2 kg mixed fodders. Results of linear and weight indexes analysis showed that in changes of exterior of bulls and heifers of black-and-white breed there was noted a certain regularities in their growth and development. The most intensive growth and development of analyzed young cattle was stated at age from 6 till 12 months. At the same time, bulls exceeded heifers according to the main exterior indexes. According to the visual evaluation of bulls and heifers there were determined the differences in constitutional type

Growth and development of mixed bred Charollais x white-and-black young stock and black-and-white bull-calves since 8-month old age till and 15-month old age were studied in the conditions in the Republic of Belarus. In course of studied there were analyzed linear growth; young stock growth intensity; forage consumption; efficiency of experimental results. On the basis of obtained data there was determined the absolute growth rate of bull-calves at certain growing periods. Research results showed that dramatic changing of technology of management and feeding of mixed bred Charollais x white-and-black young stock bulls after weaning period caused the decrease of daily average live weight gain from 8-month old age till and 15-month old age in comparison with white-and-black cattle on 99 grams or 14%. Analysis of exterior of experimental animals confirmed the priority of mixed bred young cattle over white-and-black herdmates. They were characterized by massive corpus, wider and deeper barrel, wide withers, back and coupling
