A study was conducted of the effect of heat stress on the clinical and physiological state of male rabbits at the age of 5 months with an average live weight of 1551 g. The maximum temperature the animals were exposed to during the experiment was +42 °C. The study results showed a decrease in feed intake and an increase in water consumption, which contributed to a decrease in live weight. Hematological parameters, including hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes, total plasma protein, globulins and cholesterol increased during the action of this stress factor. It was found that the effect of high ambient temperatures on rabbits negatively affected their physiological functions; the negative effect was reflected by the morphological and biochemical blood parameters.

The article presents the data obtained as a result of carrying by employees of the Research Institute of sheep and goat breeding, a branch of the FSBSI "North Caucasus FARC", the scientific and economic experience to study the efficiency of a new fodder additive "Organic" on the productive and physiological indices of bull-calves during the completion of growing in the conditions of the farm "Pata" agricultural enterprise in the Karachay-Cherkessia Republic. The statement of the experience and all researches were carried out according to generally accepted methods. In the course of the experiment, the following indices were studied: the chemical compound of forages, the dynamics of a live weight gain in the experimental stock, hematological parameters, control slaughter data, economic indices. Completed researches have shown positive result from the use of the fodder additive "Organic" in bull-calves diets: an increase in the average daily gain of live weight by 25%, a slaughter yield by 1% and a high level of profitability – 27%. Thus, the additional introduction of "Organic" in a diet of young horned cattle in the 2nd experimental group promoted more intensive metabolism, stabilization of a physiological state, increase in productivity and, as a consequence, profitability of beef production. Researches in this direction reveal the latent fodder reserves promoting increase in the productivity of agricultural animals.

Relevance. Modern turkey crosses have a genetically determined high growth rate. These farm birds are very sensitive to even minor fluctuations in their diet, are susceptible to a deficiency of amino acids, protein, mineral elements and vitamins, which can contribute to a decrease in their productivity, the development of pathological processes and diseases. The use of modern technologies and scientific achievements has made it possible to prepare a new product — modified zeolite. This natural mineral is already free of impurities and microbes, with open pore windows, has a high ability to selectively exchange, and is obtained by various methods of activating zeolite in industrial conditions. At the same time, Ulyanovsk specialists have mastered the technology of enriching modified zeolite with useful substances.Methods. The aim of the work was to study the effect on the body of turkeys and the level of their productivity of additives based on modified zeolite enriched with amino acids. The experiment was organized for 60 days on 250 turkeys of the breed Hybrid Cread-mayker aged 55–60 days in the conditions of the Ulyanovsk region. The control group received the main ration (MR), the experimental group was given once a day in addition to the MR in the morning feeding in a mixture with mixed feed 5% additives of modified zeolite enriched with amino acids.Results. The inclusion of a supplement based on modified zeolite enriched with amino acids in the diet of turkeys does not have a negative effect on the hematological parameters of their blood, all indicators corresponded to the physiological norm. During the experiment in the 2nd group, the live weight of poultry was obtained larger by 8.70%, which amounted to 12,296 kg, respectively, more profit was obtained from the sale of turkey meat, total revenue was 133,210, and additional profit was 27,960 rubles, 2.41 rubles of profit was received for 1 ruble of costs. Тhe data indicate the normalization of mineral homeostasis in the body of turkeys and better absorption of nutrients in the feed diet.

The aim of the study is to increase the morphological and functional status of cows depending on their physiologi-cal state. The morphological composition of blood is one of the main informative systems and has long attracted the attention of researchers. Blood, as a co-single tissue, has been studied well enough. Its indicators are the main fac-tors in determining the state of an animal health, as well as pointing out the presence of pathological processes in inside the organism. To determine the effect of complex use of STEMB (embryonic stimulator) and Uteromastin on the blood parameters of cows in comparison with individual administration three groups of pregnant cows (7.0-8.0 months) were formed separately, each with 20 heads in compliance with the method of groups-analogues (experimental-1, experimental-2, experimental-3). Animals in groups to be examined were provided the same con-ditions both in feeding and keeping. Animals of the first experimental group 25-30 days before calving were admin-istered STEMB drug hypodermic in the neck at a dose of 0.075 ml per 1 kg of live weight with an interval of 7 days three times, animals of the second experimental group were administered the drug Uteromastin 8-10 hours after calving intrauterine at a dose of 150 ml once. Cows of the third experimental group were administered drugs STEMB and Uteromastin in these doses (mixed). The influence of the complex use of drugs STEMB and Utero-mastin on morphological, biochemical and immunobiological parameters of blood of cows were studied on the 15th day after calving. The use of the drugs STEMB and Pteromalid complex improves cellular composition of the blood and indices of the blood serum, which enhances immunotoxicol system of organism of cows.


Presented hematological indices for a stress-free selection of material from moose in the process of domestication depending on age and sex characteristics. Fluctuations in the blood parameters of moose have been established within various limits, taking into account the influence of various factors - the climatic, environmental, technological, physiological state of the animal, and age and sex characteristics. Considerable attention is paid to the selection of blood from moose, one of the most labor-intensive processes when working with them. Some tendency to fluctuations in hematological parameters in young moose has been recorded. This, possibly, is associated with a decrease in the action of colostral immunity, the formation of a specific defense of the body. Differences in blood indices in moose depending on gender were unreliable. However, in males, some of them - in terms of the content of erythrocytes, basophils, and monocytes - was higher than in females, and vice versa, in females - the number of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. It was shown that in young animals of 21-50 days of age, a neutrophilic profile prevails with increased content of segmented forms, and in adults - a lymphocytic profile. Compared with moose, which are in the process of domestication in animals living in natural conditions, expressed leukocytosis was recorded. As a result of the studies, the estimated norms of morphological parameters of the blood of moose in the process of domestication are established, depending on age and gender.

Among the environmental factors, feeding is the most important in the formation of new traits and properties. The level of feeding influences first of all on the digestive system. Then the nature of feeding affects the organs associated with the utilization of nutrients, and ultimately the body as a whole. The purpose of the researches was to study the correlation between productive and hematological parameters in steers against the background of the use of the feed additive Biovitel. The research has been carried out under the environments of JSC “SHF Dubrovsky” in the Chelyabinsk region on steers of Hereford breed. In order to carry out experiments 2 groups of steers (control and experimental) have been formed with 10 heads in each. The method of pair-analogues has been used taking into account the genotype, age, birth weight and physiological state of animals. The experiment has been conducted from 6- to 15-month-old steers. The control group has been received the main farm ration. The experimental group has been received the basic ration and additional feed additive Biovitel at the rate of 100 g/head/ day for 15 days. The correlation between hematological parameters and productivity of steers against the background of the use of the feed additive Biovitel has been determined. During the study a positive correlation between the total protein and protein fractions with the live weight of steers has been observed. High correlation coefficients have been obtained in steers of both groups at the age of 9 months. The amount of total lipids in all age periods in both groups changed relatively little, but the trend of their increase in steers of the experimental group remained. The concentration of phospholipids in the control group was almost at the same level, and in the experimental group there was an excess of control values by 5,52 %. Activation of redox processes in the animal body has been observed under the action of the feed protein additive Biovitel.

This study is a pioneer in describing the first hematological parameters and serum biochemistry record of black drum, Pogonias cromis (Linnaeus, 1766) in a Neotropical hypersaline Lagoon. We collected a total of 32 individuals of P. cromis, with a total length (TL) ranging between 160 and 710mm, and total weight (TW) ranging between 24 and 39.8g. Blood samples were taken and the presence of granulocytes, lymphocytes, and monocytes indicated that P. cromis had developed an immune system. Increased levels of thrombocytes with decreased levels of the lymphocytes, may be due to an increased frequency of lymphocytes among the leukocytes, which is also seen in the trend of higher levels of lymphocytes associated with an increased leukocyte count. The mean count of red blood cells (1.97 ± 0.07 106 mm³) was relatively low, whilst the hematocrit (37.4 ± 0.9%) and mean corpuscular volume (195.8 ± 1.9 fL) were higher when compared with those of other species of marine fish. High total plasma protein values (6.3 ± 0.1 g/dL) suggest an osmotic imbalance, which could be due to the stress of the environment. The relatively high values of ALT and AST (90 ± 0.7 and 229 ± 4.5 U/L, respectively) and urea (24.7 ± 0.6 mg/dL), and the low levels of creatinine (0.10 ± 0.02 mg/dL), suggest possible liver dysfunction in this species in this ecosystem. This work indicates the use of hematological analysis of P. cromis could be used as an effective biomarker for environmental risk assessments.

The article presents a comparative assessment of the dynamics of biochemical and hematological parameters of the blood of the black-and-white Holstein breed of the Dutch breeding in the conditions of a robotic farm for the first two lactation to establish the influence of climatic conditions on the adaptation process. It was found that, with the exception of the hemoglobin concentration (HGB), increases in the level of their content were noted for all other analyzed blood parameters, which indicates a different degree of overload experienced by animals in conditions of a sharp change in climatic conditions. It is quite natural that the climate, the feeding conditions, and the maintenance (composition and structure of the diet), although the level of feeding is quite high, cannot but affect the physiological state of the animals to varying degrees, which must be considered during operation.

Brazil has the highest number of birds of prey in the world, which are important environmental quality indicators. Nevertheless, few studies of the clinical pathology of raptors have been developed in this country. The objectives of this study were to create a database of owl hematology in Brazil and to compare the values between sex in Asio clamator, Megascops spp. and Tyto furcata. Blood samples were collected from 81 captive owls of 10 species located in Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná and São Paulo states, Brazil. Hemogram and Total Plasma Protein (TPP) values were determined. Reference intervals (RIs) and descriptive statistic values were established using an Excel program with Reference Value Advisor. The reference intervals were the following: A. clamator: RBC (×106/?L) 1.0-2.5; PCV (%) 30.2-50.1; Hb (g dL-1) 6.7-15.3; MCV (fL) 123.8-355.2; MCHC (%) 17.1-38.6; WBC (× 103/?L) 1.2-23.6; Heterophils (× 103/?L) 0.6-16.6; Lymphocytes (× 103/?L) 0.6-10.2; Eosinophils (× 103/?L) 0.0-1.9; Basophils (× 103/?L) 0.0-1.0; Thrombocytes (× 103/?L) 10.8-56.6; H/L 0.0-10.8. Megascops spp.: RBC (× 106/?L) 0.8-2.3; PCV (%) 29.7-44.6; Hb (g dL-1) 6.4-12.4; MCV (fL) 131.6-374.4; MCHC (%) 12.1-34; WBC (× 103/?L) 0.7-23.1; Heterophils (× 103/?L) 1.1-10.3; Lymphocytes (× 103/?L) 0.0-11.5; Eosinophils (× 103/?L) 0.0-2.2; Basophils (× 103/?L) 0.0-0.7; Thrombocytes (× 103/?L) 10.3-43.6; H/L 0.5-7.3; TPP (g dL-1) 2.9-5.1. The parameters for Tyto furcata were presented with descriptive statistics values. Individual data were provided for the others Strigiformes species sampled. This study provides a wide database of hematological and TPP references for Megascops spp., A. clamator and T. furcata and hematological values for Athene cunicularia, Bubo virginianus, Pulsatrix perspicillata, Asio stygius, Pulsatrix koeniswaldiana, Strix virgata and Asio flammeus in Brazil.

There is little information about biochemical and physiological parameters in Brazilian gaited horses that could be used to develop training and performance evaluation programs. The aims of the current study were to evaluate heart rate (HR) and blood biomarkers in gaited horses during a standardised field gaited test (SGT). Sixteen horses were used to develop an SGT (10 min of warming up, 30 min of marcha gait and 15 min of recovery). Blood samples and HR were collected at rest, after warming up, after 15 (F+15) and 30 (F+30) min of marcha, and after the recovery period. The following blood parameters were measured: glucose, lactate, total plasma protein, haematocrit, urea, creatinine, glutamine, glutamate, triglycerides, total cholesterol, Ca, P, Mg, Na, Cl and K. HR measurement was carried out using an HR monitor. The results were analysed using one- and two-way ANOVA tests, and post-hoc Holm-Sidak tests. Student's t-tests were used to compare means, and the Pearson's test was utilised for correlation analyses. Glucose and lactate increased during SGT (P<0.05), and a statistically significant interaction between phase of SGT and fitness level was observed for glucose. Additionally, haematocrit, total plasma protein, urea, creatinine, triglycerides, P and K were elevated (P<0.05), and a reduction of Ca was detected during the SGT (P<0.05). HR increased from ∼47 bpm at rest to ∼140 bpm at F+15 and F+30 (P<0.05). In conclusion, the HR and energetic biomarkers were increased during the SGT. HR was under the limit variation for values considered as submaximal for aerobic exercises in gaited horses during SGT. Additionally, some degree of dehydration was observed at the end of the marcha contest. This information may be used to better understand how gaited horses expend their energy during marcha events and to help determine a horse's fitness level.
