The 95% ethanol extract of Alfredia drooping Alfredia cernua (L.) Cass. (Asteraceae) aerial part exhibits pronounced antidepressant, nootropic and anxiolytic activity. The aim of the work was the qualitative and quantitative analysis of macro-, trace and ultra trace elements of the pharmacologically active extract of the aerial part of the plant. The study of the elemental composition of the extract was performed after ashing using instrumental neutron activation analysis with irradiation with thermal neutrons. The study found 26 elements, of which eight are (conditionally) essential, two macro elements and four trace elements. The obtained results indicate the prevalence of Alfredia cernua of calcium, zinc, sodium, strontium, bromine, as well as iron, barium, cobalt, chromium and lanthanum in the pharmacologically active extract. The extract concentrates a specific group of elements (zinc, cobalt, thorium, hafnium, bromine, chromium, lutetium, lanthanum, strontium, samarium) in comparison with the feedstock, which can be explained by the formation of strong organometallic compounds and chelate complexes. Macro-, trace and ultra trace elements can have a significant impact on metabolic processes, nervous, immune, endocrine, cardiovascular systems, they are an integral part of enzymes, give other biologically active substances an easily digestible form and potentiate their effects.

Analysis of literature data and the results of our own research show that even with intensive rearing of animals with the use of balanced feeding and keeping them in accordance with the technology - it is almost impossible to avoid stress. And especially, excessive man-made load on agroecosystems also has a negative impact on animal life. Factors that cause a decrease in immune status and the emergence of immune pathology in animals include: industrial technology of animal husbandry, chemicalization in crop and livestock production, man-made pressure, dietary imbalance in nutrients and biologically active substances. This increases the impact on the body of heavy metals, which displace nutrients from body tissues, in particular trace elements and replace them in metabolic processes, which is a potential prerequisite for the development of oxidative stress. The mechanism of development of stress reaction of an organism is closely connected with activity of POL (lipid peroxidation) and depression of antioxidant potential. Under these conditions, the ability of the organism to mobilize protective and adaptive capabilities in response to the action of negative factors becomes especially important. Keeping productive animals in adverse conditions, unbalanced feeding are components of immobilization stress, which reduces their productivity, affects reproductive function, metabolic and functional disorders, reducing nonspecific and specific resistance of the organism (Fedoruk & Kravtsiv, 2003; Velychko, 2008; Velychko, 2011). Under conditions of man-caused load on the environment, respectively, and animals – it is promising to develop effective methods for regulating the activity of the enzymatic system of antioxidant protection with the help of biologically active substances, in particular trace elements. The results of research confirm that this has a positive effect on the formation of productive and adaptive properties of animals. The system of antioxidant protection is a necessary part of non-specific reactions of the organism, a component of the processes of its adaptation to environmental conditions, a component of normal life, a factor in maintaining homeostasis. Widespread immunodeficiency and elucidation of the main links of their pathogenesis have exacerbated the problem of regulating disorders of the immune system. Therefore, knowledge of the patterns of formation of the immune status of animals, especially in the early postnatal period, is important in the development of methods for the correction of immunodeficiency, antioxidant protection.

Medicinal plants (Cotinus coggygria, Dactylorhiza maculata, Platanthera chlorantha) growing in various territories (Kaliningrad, Moscow, and Minsk regions) were the objects of research. This paper presents a study of the chemical composition of these plants. To analyze the qualitative and quantitative composition of biologically active substances, the method of high-performance liquid chromatography was used. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used to study the content of trace elements. The content of organic acids and vitamins was determined by capillary electrophoresis using the Kapel-105/105M capillary electrophoresis system with high negative polarity. Extracts of medicinal plants were obtained on a Soxhlet apparatus using 70% ethanol as an extractant. It was found that among the biologically active substances in the plants under discussion, hyperoside, rutin (C. coggygria), Ferulic acid and Gallic acid (D. maculata), triene hydrocarbon (3,7-Dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene), unsaturated alcohol (3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol), and benzyl acetate (P. chlorantha) prevailed. Samples of these medicinal plants contained trace elements (phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and sulfur) and many aliphatic organic acids (succinic acid, benzoic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, and tartaric acid). The largest amount of biologically active substances and secondary metabolites of the studied plants from the Eastern Baltic is associated with climatic and ecological differences from other regions. The composition of these plants determines the potential of their use in feed additives for livestock and poultry as part of measures to improve the quality of livestock products. The use of medicinal plants for the production of feed additives is relevant in terms of improving regional economies, as well as improving the quality of life and nation’s health by providing ecologically clean livestock products.

In this paper Silene graefferi Guss. is recommended for the first time as a promising source of flavonoids and is a well-known producer of ecdysteroids. This perennial species is adapted to the conditions of Western Siberia and has been successfully cultivated in the Siberian Botanical garden of TSU since 2015. It was interesting to study the composition and features of accumulation of biologically active substances during the growth and development of S. graefferi. It was shown that 20-hydroxyecdysone and polypodine B are present in the aerial and underground parts of introduced in culture S. graefferi plants during the entire vegetative development. An unidentified ecdysteroid was detected in the aerial part at the beginning of the vegetation and in the roots during the flowering phase. During vegetative development, common flavonoids and characteristic ones at different periods of plant development were found. The phase of maximum accumulation of ecdysteroids and flavonoids of S. graefferi is the beginning of vegetation, and the minimum is flowering. In the age dynamics the highest levels of biologically active substances in plants were noted at 2 and 3 years of life, then there is a general tendency to decrease with the age of the plant. From the aerial part of S. graefferi, 20-hydroxyecdysone, polypodine B and vitexin were isolated and identified by HPLC.

From the overground part of Atragene speciosa Weinm. family Ranunculaceae, we obtained a fraction possessing a marked nootropic effect from which 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol-2, its 2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, and a sum of glycosides of dihydroxybutane acid were isolated. In addition to the foregoing substances, in the pharmacologically active fraction we revealed the presence of triterpene glycosides (whose sapogenins are hederagenine and oleanolic acid), aminoacids and microelements. For the frist time the obtained data about the biologically active substances and their pharmacological activity give us the possibility of development of a new phytopreparation with the nootropic effect on the basis of Atragene speciose Weinm.

Numerous studies have shown that sapropel is an effective source of macro-and microelements, as well as biologically active substances. There are about 3 million lakes on the territory of Russia, where sapropel reserves are estimated at 250 billion tons. There are 497 lakes on the territory of the Tyumen region, the estimated reserves of sapropel in them are 1398,7 million tons. The Tyumen region is a biogeochemical province for all normalized trace elements. Biologically active compounds obtained from natural raw materials, including normalized trace elements in organic form are the most promising and safe. Under the inviroments of the Tyumen region, such natural raw materials can be sapropels. The study of the effectiveness of the use of sapropels and their influence on the metabolism and milk productivity of cattle is an urgent topic. The purpose of the research was to study the influence of sapropel lake Nepryak on milk productivity indicators and the biochemical composition of the blood of cows. For the experiment 3 groups of cows have been formed (a control group and two experimental ones) based on the principle of pairs of analogs. Cows of the 1st experimental group have been got in the ration of 300 g of sapropel per head/day, 2nd experimental – 500 g/head/day. Cows of the control group did not receive sapropel in the ration. It has been found as the result of research that the use of sapropel lake Nepryak in feeding of cows in doses of 300 and 500 g/head/day had the positive influence on their milk productivity. At the same time, it is most effective to feed sapropel at the dose of 300 g/ head/day.
