The article presents the results of research on the effect of feed additive “Metisevit” and liposomal drug “Lipointersil” on the level of vitamins in the blood of bulls in experimental chronic cadmium toxicosis. The research was conducted on the basis of a farm in the village of Ivanivtsi, Zhydachiv district, Lviv region, on 15 bulls of six months of age, Ukrainian black-spotted dairy breed, which were formed into 3 groups of 5 animals each: control and two experimental groups. The bulls of the control group were fed cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.04 mg/kg body weight for 30 days. The bulls of the first experimental group were fed cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.04 mg/kg body weight for 30 days and fed a dietary supplement “Metisevit” at a dose of 0.36 g/kg of feed. The bulls of the second experimental group were fed cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.04 mg/kg body weight for 30 days and fed a dietary supplement “Metisevit” in the above dose. On the first and seventh days of the experiment, bulls of this experimental group were injected intramuscularly with liposomal drug “Lipointersil” at a dose of 5 ml per animal. The composition of the liposomal drug “Lipointersil” includes interferon and milk thistle. In the study of the non-enzymatic part of the antioxidant system of the body of bulls under cadmium load found a decrease in vitamins A and E. The use of feed additive “Metisevit” increased the content of vitamin E in the blood of bulls of the second experimental group by 10.5 % experiment – by 37.9 % relative to the control group. With the additional use of liposomal drug “Lipointersil” in the blood of bulls found a more likely increase in vitamin E levels throughout the experiment than in the second experimental group, where respectively on the 15th and 20th day of the experiment, this figure increased by 35.3 and 55.1 %. The increase in the content of vitamin E in the blood of experimental animals is due to the feeding of the feed supplement “Metisevit”, which contains this vitamin. A similar increase is observed in the study of vitamin A in the blood of bulls of experimental groups. It was found that when using a feed additive and liposomal preparation for bulls, on the 15th day of the experiment the level of vitamin A in the blood of the first experimental group increased by 19.4 %, and in the blood of the second experimental group – by 26.9 % relative to the control group. Thus, the use of feed supplement “Metisevit” and liposomal drug “Lipointersil” for bulls, which are under conditions of cadmium load, helped to increase the non-enzymatic system of antioxidant protection, namely vitamins A and E.

Cadmium – a heavy metal, classified as a second class of danger, has a pronounced tendency to accumulate in the body. Absorbed cadmium accumulates in the liver as a complex with metallothionein. The aim of the study was to study the effect of Cadmium on the level of vitamins A and E in the blood of laying hens. For research, three groups of poultry were formed: control and two experimental. The control group chickens were on a regular diet, fed with compound feed and drinking water without cadmium sulfate. To drinking water of chickens of experimental groups for 30 days was added cadmium sulfate in doses: the first group – 2 mg/kg, the second group – 4 mg/kg of body weight. The keeping conditions of the chickens and the indoor microclimate parameters for all groups of birds were similar. After cadmium loading at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight, the level of vitamin A in the blood of chickens has probably decreased since the 14th day of the experiment. It was the lowest at 21 days of experience. When drinking cadmium sulfate at a dose of 4 mg/kg body weight decreased levels of vitamin A by 4 and 21 days of the experiment, respectively, by 24 and 40% compared with the control group of chickens. When examining the level of vitamin E in the blood of laying hens under cadmium loading, it was found that in the second experimental group of chickens the level of this vitamin was significantly lower than in the control and the first experimental group of chickens. When compared with the control group of chickens, it was found that on the 14th day of the experiment, the level of vitamin E was lower in the first experimental group by 12% and in the second – by 27%, respectively. At day 21 of the experiment, the level of vitamin E was the lowest in the second experimental group, where it was 0.70 ± 0.011 µg/ml, respectively, which is 44% lower than the control. A significant decrease in the content of vitamins A and E indicates not only the pathological condition of the liver, but also the enhancement of oxidation processes associated with a decrease in the activity of enzymes of the antioxidant system. Cadmium compounds have high biological activity, they easily form complex compounds with proteins, nucleic acids, which inactivate a number of enzymes.

The study was conducted to determine the effects of vitamin E on reproductive performance in mice treated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The 75 female and 40 male mice were randomly assigned into five groups. The levels of both TCDD and vitamin E given by gavage were 0 and 0 (Control group), 100 and 0 (experimental group I), 100 and 20 (experimental group II), 100 and 100 (experimental group III), and 100 ng/kg/day and 500 mg/kg/day (experimental group IV), respectively. Males and females were mixed to mate at the ratio of 1:2 after 4-week experiment. The gavage treatments were continued until the end of gestation in female mice after mating. The results showed that the litter number, survival rate, and body weight at birth of offspring in experimental group I had significantly decreased, and the females’ pregnancy rate and pup sex ratio in experimental group I had the decreasing tendencies when compared with the control group. The litter number in experimental group III, survival rate in experimental group II and III, body weight at birth in experimental group III and IV exhibited significant increase compared with experimental group I. The female pregnancy rate in both experimental group III and IV recovered to 100%, but there were no significant differences when compared with experimental group I. The pups’ sex ratio had a gradually increasing tendency with increase of vitamin E level, but there was no significant difference among experimental group I–IV. The results suggest that TCDD could induce reproductive toxicity in mice, whereas vitamin E alleviated adverse effects on reproductive performance in mice caused by TCDD.

The influence of feeding high-performance cows of the energy feed additive Cobiotic Energy on the physiological state and productivity have been studied. Experiments have been carried out on with groups of dairy cows with 10 animals each during 55 days. The diet of cows of the first control group consisted of haylage of cereal and leguminous plants, corn silage, molasses, cereal hay, and feed of own production. 0.3 kg of feed additive has been introduced into the diet of animals of the experimental group II 15 days before calving, in the first 10 days after calving, as compensation for energy losses, 0.75 kg 3 times a day. In the next 30 days of the milking season with the ration of animals of the experimental group II, 0.25 kg of Cobiotic Energy has been fed, sprinkling it on top of the feed mixture. It has been established that the use of feed additives in the diets of cows has a positive effect on feed intake, physiological condition and animal productivity. It was determined that concentration of metabolizable energy in 1 kg of dry matter of the diet made 9–16– 9.2 MJ. The diet contained 12.8–13.0 % of crude protein per 1 kg of dry matter, the concentration of fiber in dry matter made 22.3– 22.0 %. The sugar-protein ratio made 1.04:1; 1.0. In terms of energy nutrition, the diet of the experimental group due to the inclusion of the feed supplement was 6 MJ higher, however, it slightly affected concentration of metabolizable energy of the diet. The energy-protein ratio corresponded to 0.2– 0.21. The nitrogen balance in the rumen was positive in all the animals and was at the level of 0.13–0.4 g. Feeding animals with supplement in the diet in the last 15 days of the dry period, during the first 10 days after calving and the next 30 days of the milking period promoted activation of protein biosynthesis and energy metabolism, as evidenced by an increase in serum total protein and its albumin fraction and ultimately increased animal productivity. The studied supplement use in the diets for cows makes it possible to increase performance of cows by 8.0 %, fat content by 0.1 %, protein by 0.24 %, lactose by 0.11 %, reduce the cost of feed for obtaining natural milk by 6.1%. Key words: feed supplement Cobiotic Energy, cows, diets, blood, milk yield, feed costs, milk quality.

The article gives scientific substantiation of using silicon-containing new feed additive “Energosil” for replacement gilts. The studies were conducted in pig-breeding complex of the Center for Practical Training of Agricultural Specialists in Mordovia Republic. There were three experimental groups of replacement gilts (10 animals each). The effect of various dosages of Energosil (5.0, 7.5, and 10 mg per kg of body weight) on digestibility, nutrient utilization, and animal growth energy was studied. The most optimal dosage of a new feed additive in their rations was revealed, which constituted 5 mg / kg of the animal live weight. It was established that the animals from the first experimental group, who received silicon-containing feed additives of this amount digested the nutrients of the diet better than their counterparts from the other groups. Compared to the control group, the digestibility of dry matter increased by 3.62% (p<0.05), organic matter by 3.29% (p<0.01), crude protein by 4.09% (p<0.001), fat by 4.30% (p<0.01), cellulose by 3.79% (p<0.01) and nitrogen-free extractives by 2.03% (p>0.05).Replacement gilts of the first experimental group, who were given Energosil in the amount of 5 mg / kg body weight in addition to the basic ration, retained nitrogen in their bodies by 17.1%, calcium by 55.9% and phosphorus by 69.7% more than their counterparts from the control group. It contributed to an increase in body weight of gilts from the first group compared to control counterparts by 10.8%. Increased dosages of Energosil (7.5 and 10 mg / kg body weight) also had a better effect on the growth energy of gilts compared with the control group. The feed additive in the amount of 7.5 mg kg of animal  live weight contributed to an increase in animal weight compared with control counterparts by 6.21 kg or 4.8% (p<0.05), with a third experimental group by 4.4 kg or by 3.4% (p<0.05). When given Energosil in the dosage of 10 mg/kg, the body weight of gilts from the third experimental group was higher by 1.81 kg or 1.4% (p> 0.05) compared with the control counterparts.

The article presents the results of research on the influence of cadmium load on the body of young cattle. The purpose of the work was to investigate morphological indices of bulls blood during the development of experimental chronic cadmium toxicity. According to the morphological analysis of the quantitative and qualitative composition of blood, it is possible to deem objectively about the functional state of the hematopoietic system of the organism of young cattle. The research was  conducted (on the basis of the farm of the village of Ivanivtsi, Zhydachiv rayon of the Lviv region) on 10 bulls of six months old, Ukrainian black-and-white milk breed, which were formed in 2 groups of 5 animals in each: control and experimental. Bulls of the control group were in the usual diet. Bulls of the experimental group were fed with a feed with cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.04 mg/kg body weight of the animal. It has been established that feeding Bulls with cadmium chloride in a dose of 0.04 mg/kg of body weight contributed to a decrease in hemoglobin to 84.5 ± 1.60 g/l and an increase in the content of methemoglobin to 5.2 ± 0.099%. The decrease in hemoglobin levels is due to the toxic effect of cadmium on erythrocytes, resulting in damage to erythrocyte membranes and increased content of methemoglobin. Formation of methemoglobin in bull blood during cadmium loading occurs as a result of oxidation of hemoglobin with the formation of superoxide anion, which in turn triggers (begins) free radical processes and exerts a destructive effect on cell membranes, as well as initiates the appearance of other active forms of oxygen. Feeding calcium cadmium chloride in a dose of 0.04 mg/kg contributed to a decrease in the number of erythrocytes in their blood. At day 20 of the experiment, the number of erythrocytes decreased by 14% relative to the control group. Decreasing the number of erythrocytes in the blood of young cattle may have been due to the inhibition of their production in the bone marrow. An important morphological indicator of blood is the determination of the average content of hemoglobin in one erythrocyte, which indicates the saturation of erythrocyte with hemoglobin. It was found that the average hemoglobin content in one erythrocyte of the bulls of the experimental group increased by 11.4 and 13.9% for 5 and 10 days. According to the results of the research, the reduction of the hematocrit values in the experimental group of bulls was detected at 10, 15 and 20 days of the experiment. A significant increase in the number of leukocytes in the blood of the bulls of the experimental group was observed at 15 days of the experiment, according to the control group indicators, it increased by 12%.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to perform feeding experiments on growing pigs in order to assess the impact of macroalga Enteromorpha sp. enriched with Zn(II) and Cu(II) ions via the biosorption process on the mineral composition of blood, meat, liver, feces and urine. In the control group, microelements were supplemented as inorganic salts, whereas in the experimental groups they were replaced by enriched macroalga. After 3 months of the feeding experiment, it was found that the meat was biofortified with Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn. The average content of Zn in the blood from the pigs fed with algae was higher by 9.5%, compared to that in the blood from pigs in the control group. The liver of growing pigs from the experimental group contained 16% less Cu and 18% less Zn than the liver in the control group. Growing pigs fed with macroalgae excreted in feces 27% more Zn than growing pigs in the control group, but 3.5 times less Cu. It could be concluded that the bioavailability of microelements to pigs from algae was higher than from the inorganic salts. Baltic macroalgae enriched with microelement ions could be potentially used as a biological feed additive.

The article presents the results of studies on the influence of cadmium load on the body of young cattle. The adverse effect of Cadmium on the liver causes a wide range of pathological changes at various levels of its organization. The purpose of the work was to investigate protein synthesize function on the liver of bulls for experimental chronic cadmium toxicity. The research was carried out on the basis of a farm at the village Ivanivtsi, Zhydachiv district of Lviv region, on 10 bulls of six months old, Ukrainian black-and-white milk breed, which were formed in 2 groups of 5 animals in each: control and experimental. Bulls of the control group were in the usual diet. Bulls of the experimental group were fed with forage with cadmium chloride at a dose of 0.04 mg/kg body weight of the animal. The research lasted for 30 days. Protein synthesize function of the liver was determined by the level of serum total protein and protein fractions. It was established that when feeding cows with feed of cadmium chloride in a dose of 0.04 mg/kg of body weight of an animal for 30 days in animals suppressed protein synthesize function of the liver, which manifests itself by lowering the total protein of blood. It reached the lowest level at the 20th day of the experiment, where, accordingly, it fluctuated within the limits of 61.9 ± 1.14 g/l. Reducing the level of total protein in the blood of the bulls of the experimental group under cadmium loading was due to lowering the level of albumin. At day 20 of the experiment, the level of albumin in the blood of animals in the experimental group decreased by 16.5%. On the background of general hypoproteinemia there is a significant imbalance between albumins and globulins in serum of diseased animals. It was established that the level of globulins increased in the blood of Bulls, which were under cadmium load. Increasing the level of globulins in blood serum of bulls reflects the intensity of inflammatory processes in their body for cadmium loading.

The purpose of the work was to study the parameters of the functional and antioxidant state of the liver in rats under conditions of oxidative stress and at the actions of the liposomal drug “Butaselmevit”. The research was carried out on young white laboratory male rats of the Vistar line with a body weight of 180-200 g, which were kept in the standard conditions of the institute vivarium of the State Scientific Research Control Institute of Veterinary Preparations and Feed Additives. Animals were divided into three groups of 20 animals in each: 1st group (K) intact animals; 2nd group (D1) – rats, affected with tetrachloromethane; group 3 (D2) – rats, affected with tetrachloromethane and treated with Botselmevit liposomal preparation. Toxic lesion of rats was caused by intramuscular administration of 50% tetrachloromethane at a dose of 0.25 ml per 100 g of animal body weight for the first and third day of the study. Animals of the experimental group D2 on the first and third day of the study, an hour after the introduction of tetrachloroethane, additionally administered a liposomal preparation at a dose of 2 ml per 1 kg of body weight of the animal. The composition of this preparation includes the following substances: butafosfan, selenium, methionine, thistle injection and vitamins A, E and D3. The development of oxidative stress in rats caused by intramuscular administration of tetrachloromethane was accompanied by suppression of protein synthesis of the liver, as evidenced by the low level of total protein and the decrease in the albumin-globulin factor. Low levels of albumin and high levels of globulins in the blood of diseased rats indicate an albumin-globulin disproportion. The indicators of liver function were quite high, namely: the level of creatinine increased by 46%, urea by 74% and total bilirubin by 34%. When applying the liposomal drug "Butaselmevit" to rats, under conditions of oxidative stress during research, the normalization of biochemical parameters occurs in the blood. It has been proven that modeling of the stress response in rats of the experimental group leads to a probable decrease in the level of reduced glutathione and the activity of glutathione peroxidase in the second and fifth days of the experiment. When applying the liposomal drug Butaselmevit to rats, under conditions of oxidative stress during the studies, activation of the glutathione linkage of the antioxidant system occurs in the blood, indicating an increase in the level of reduced glutathione and the activity of glutathione peroxidase in the blood of animal data. At the 14th day of the research, the level of reduced glutathione and the activity of glutathione peroxidase in blood of the experimental group D2 were the highest. The results of the research indicate the antioxidant properties of the new liposomal drug “Butaselmevit”.

Abstract. The experiment was conducted on 80 Polish Merino ewes, their 82 lambs and 40 fattening rams. Merino ewes were divided into two groups: experimental (E) and control (C), each composed of 40 animals. Four weeks before lambing, 1 day, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after lambing 40 ewes of the experimental (E) group received intramuscular injection of 5 ml 0.1 % Na2SeO4 (selenium [Se]: 2.09 mg), 10 ml 10 % ZnSO4 (Zinc [Zn]: 227 mg) and 250 mg vitamin E (α-tocopherol), and control group (C) – no received. From birth all the lambs were maintained with their dams and then weaned at the age of 8 weeks, placed in individual straw-bedded pens and fattened individually with a granulated concentrate mixture until reaching a body weight about 32 kg. During fattening 20 lambs from experimental group (E) was given per os 1 ml 0.1 % Na2SeO4, 3 ml 10 % ZnSO4 and 60 mg vitamin E (α-tocopherol) daily, and control group (C) – no administered. The levels of Se, Zn and vitamin E in the blood plasma of ewes and ram- lambs were within the reference values. The lambs born by the treated ewes (E) experienced much lower body live weight at birth (P≤0.05), body weight on day 28 and 56 (P≤0.01), compared to lambs born from group (C). Also the daily live weight gain from birth to 4 week and from birth to 8 week were significantly lower (P≤0.05) in lambs born by the treated ewes. Se, Zn and vitamin E treated rams contained less fat in leg (P≤0.05), less fat thickness over ribs (P≤0.01) and less fat thickness over loin-eye than non treated rams.

In response to the action of stress factors of different genesis in a living organism, a cascade of adaptive responses, which can neutralize functional disorders of homeostasis, is triggered. Combining the effects of various stress factors can cause excessive formation and accumulation of active forms of oxygen, which entails a number of pathological conditions that create the preconditions for the development of a large number of diseases. One of the indicators of the development of adaptation and the integral indicator of the body's state is the blood system, especially the leukocytic formula, whose redistribution makes it possible to analyze the nature of the effect and estimate the intensity of adaptive processes in the body due to functions that perform different forms of leukocytes. Leukocyte indices in which the parameters of the leukocyte formula were used, allow assessment of the degree of endogenous intoxication, the development of resistance and the character of cellular immunity for the influence of stress factors on the organism of animals and humans.The article considers the possibility of evaluating the preventive effect of natural antioxidants of humic nature on indices of leukocytes on the organism of rats after the influence of combined water-immobilization stress (WICS). for this, the animals were divided into five groups of 6 animals: 1- group of intact animals (control); 2-5 – experimental groups. Animals of all experimental groups were additionally received orally, individually with the help of a probe for 18 days, water, feed additives "Humilid" (at 5 mg / kg of body weight per active ingredient), "Eco-Impulse Animal" (at a rate of 2.5 mg / kg body weight) and vitamin E (at a rate of 50 mg / kg body weight). In animals, 2, 3, 4 and 5 groups simulated stress. It has been established that the effects of water-immobilization combined stress on blood of rats lead to the growth of cells of the leukocyte series, mainly due to the increase of eosinophils and rod-neutron neutrophils. The use of natural antioxidant, a feed additive "Humilid" in the pre-season period causes a decrease in the number of leukocytes by 41% compared to values in animals that received purified water during this period and did not differ from those in intact animals. The change in leukocyte indexes indicates functional changes in the body and the presence of a neutrophilic shear on the background of WICS in rats. Also, the effect of WICS leads to the release of the younger forms of neutrophils in the bloodstream, an increase in both the percentage of eosinophils and the quantitative. For preventive use of feed additives of humic nature, "Humilid" and "Eco-Impulse Animal" and vitamin E, the studied parameters are close to the values of the control group.
