One of the real ways of increasing the production of livestock products is to increase the conservation of young animals, the mortality rate of which remains at this time still very high. Many calf treatment regimens have been developed, but they are not always effective, which prompts scientists and practitioners to improve already known methods of treatment, to find and justify new medical preparation. Material for research were dry-cows, healthy and sick calves. After the clinical examination of cows, the experiment was conducted in two phases: the first phase – in 3 groups of cows, the second – in clinical healthy and sick calves. Mineral supplement of Sapocorm were added to the first experimental group of cows; cows of the second experimental group – the preparation Betamint; animals of control group get basic diet. At the second phase, a group of healthy calves, as well as control and two experimental groups of patients were formed. The first group was treated with Intecol in combination with the probiotic Vetom. Calves of the second group – the preparation Intecoll, but in a complex with electrolyte solution Electrosol oral. The calves of the control group were treated with 4% solution of gentamicin sulfate and 30% solution of natrium thiosulfate. It was found out that during the dry period, cows were often subjected to metabolic disorders, and the causes of digestive disorders in calves were associated with a metabolic disorders in cows as a result of malnutrition. In the first stage of the research, the data obtained show the stimulatory effect of Betamint on the processes of hemopoiesis of the cows. In other side,  the probable magnification increase hemoglobin in the blood of cows can be explained by the influence of the components of the preparation on the metabolism of proteins. In cows of the first experimental group, which received the mineral supplement of Sapocorm, there were no probable changes in these indices. The next stage of the work was aimed at studying the effectiveness of preparation for the treatment of sick calves. In the analysis of biochemical parameters, was obtained low effectiveness of control group treatment, which was manifested by a slight increase in the biochemical parameters of the blood of diseased calves, which indicates an ineffective action of preparation. In the treatment of calves in the first group, the general condition was normal within 4–5 days of treatment. This indicates the complex effect of compounds and other elements that are components of the preparation Intecol and probiotic Vetom, on restoring the structure and functions of digestion. An analysis of the biochemical parameters of the blood of the second group when treated with the preparation Intecol and Electrosol oral plagued the normalization of the general state occurred within 2–3 days of treatment. The revealed changes indicate the complex influence of nutrients, which are components of the preparation Electrosol oral. On the basis of the conducted studies, the positive influence of the proposed treatment regimens and the effectiveness of the use of a complex of preparation with the antibiotic “Intecol” has been proved.

The reproductive function of cows is ensured by a homeostasis system. The aim of this study to investigate scientific data and analyze modern practical approaches related to metabolic disorders. Also investigating immune response. The object of the research was the cows (Bos taurus taurus) of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed.  Using the method in groups and periods. The control group of animals The control group of animals (C1, n=137) – cows with a physiological of pregnancy (248-255 days). Re-examination of control animals (C2, n=137) was carried out during the postpartum period. The first experimental group (E1, n = 32) consisted of animals diagnosed with preeclampsia. Cows with a subclinical course of ketosis constituted the second group (E2, n = 52).   The development of preeclampsia of cows was accompanied by an increase in the content of medium-sized peptides from 0.2 ± 0.01 to 0.3 ± 0.03 Mol.Wt. (P < 0.01), and an increase in the level of average molecular circulating immune complexes. It is proved that an imbalance in the diet and a deficiency of metabolic energy during the dry period and for 6-8 weeks after birth negatively affects the health of animals, is the cause of metabolic disorders and the manifestation of reproductive pathologies.

The reproductive traits of sows are of paramount importance in the production of high-quality pork. The world experience of pig farming shows the need to solve first of all the feed problem. Diets unbalanced in the content of vitamins restrain the manifestation of genetically inherent high prolificacy of sows. The purpose of the research was to study the influence of feeding the vitamin feed additive “LipoCar” on the reproductive traits of sows and the biochemical parameters of blood serum. The results of research on the introduction of vitamin feed additive “LipoCar” into the diet of pregnant sows have been presented in the article. The experiment has been carried out in the production conditions in JSC “Linevsky pedigree farm” on sows of Large White breed. Pregnant sows have received a basic diet, balanced for all the normalized elements of nutrition. Sows of the experimental group in the composition of the basic diet fed the feed additive “LipoCar”. The dosage of the drug “Lipocar” was 2,1 g/head/day. “Lipocar” has been fed for 20 days. The total duration of the experiment was 3 months. When introducing the vitamin feed additive “LipoCar” into the main diet of sows in the second half of pregnancy the increase in the number of piglets in the litter by 1,6-6,8 % and the weight of the litter – by 5,6-56,2 % (P ≤ 0,001) have been revealed in comparison with the control group of animals. There was a higher content of carotene in the blood serum of sows of the experimental group by 50,0 % (P ≤ 0,01), vitamin A - by 48,7 % (P ≤ 0,05), and total protein – by 4,9 % (P ≤ 0,05).

The aim of this experiment was to verify the option of providing microelement supplementation to dairy cows in the dry period through supplemented mineral lick, and then to compare the content of microelements in the blood, colostrum and milk. The experiment was carried out on a farm with Czech Fleckvieh dairy cows. We formed an experimental group (E), supplied with mineral lick ad libitum enhanced with organic forms of microelements (Se, Zn, Cu, Mn) for four to five weeks before parturition and 1 week after parturition. The control group (C) did not receive any mineral lick. The use of mineral lick by cows was very uneven, its total consumption oscillated between 0 to 250 g of lick per animal per day. Lick feeding did not result in evidential increase of concentrations of monitored microelements in the cows’ blood, colostrum and milk. Only a tendency to increased concentrations of Se and Cu in the blood of group E of cows was observed; the average Se concentration increased by 60 μg l-1 (Cu by 9 μmol l-1), whereas in group C, Se increased only by 30 μg l-1 (Cu by 6 μg l-1). The concentration of microelements in colostrum after parturition dropped quickly. Significant drops were determined for Se, Cu and Zn on the first (for Mn on the second) day after parturition. Selenium concentration in the first colostrum was 5 times higher than in milk, Cu concentration 3 times higher, Zn concentration 4 times higher and Mn concentration 1.3 times higher.

В условиях научно-производственного опыта исследована эффективность введения кормовой добавки «Абиотоник» в рацион высокопродуктивных голштинизированных симментальских коров (в транзитный период и на раздое). «Абиотоник» представляет собой усовершенствованный аналог известного импортного препарата «Чиктоник», отличаясь от иностранного аналога многократно увеличенной концентрацией пептона и наличием высокодефицитных микроэлементов (селена и элементоорганического соединения йода). Наши исследования показали, что скармливание препарата «Абиотоник» в дозе 150 мл/гол. способствовало росту продуктивности коров на 5,84%, улучшило физико-химические свойства молока и повысило его пищевую ценность. Применение кормовой добавки способствовало также профилактике желудочно-кишечных заболеваний у коров, повышению их резистентности, о чём свидетельствовали показатели крови и бактериологического исследования кала. Заболеваемость коров в опытной группе не наблюдалась. Использование препарата «Абиотоник» коровам в заключительной стадии сухостойного периода и в начале лактации привело к сокращению времени отделения плаценты у коров после отёла на 6,54%, или на 0,4 часа, повышению живой массы новорождённого молодняка на 1,6% и сокращению сервис-периода у опытных коров на 8 дней по сравнению с контрольными. Использование кормовой добавки «Абиотоник» способствовало получению дополнительного дохода от реализации молока в размере 1152 руб./гол. Полученные экспериментальные данные позволяют рекомендовать использование отечественной импортозамещающей кормовой добавки «Абиотоник» в рационах коров транзитного периода и на раздое в дозе 150 мл/гол. ежедневно в последней фазе сухостоя и через день в течение 40 суток после отёла. Under the conditions of scientific and farm scale trial the efficiency of introduction of the feed additive "Abiotonic" into the diet of highly productive Holsteinized Simmental cows (during the transition period and for days in milk) was studied. "Abiotonic" is an improved analogue of the known imported preparation "Chiktonik" differing from the foreign analogue by its manifoldly increased peptone concentration and the presence of highly deficient microelements (selenium and organo-element compounds of iodine). Our researches have shown that feeding the preparation "Abiotonic" at a dose of 150 ml / head contributed to an increase in cow productivity by 5.84%, improved the physicochemical properties of milk and increased its nutritional value. The use of a feed additive also contributed to the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases in cows, an increase in their resistance as evidenced by haematological parameters and bacteriological feces analysis. The incidence of cows in the experimental group was not observed. The use of the preparation "Abiotonic" for cows in the final stage of the dry period and at the beginning of lactation reduced the time for separation of the placenta in cows after calving by 6.54% or 0.4 hours, increased the live weight of newborn young stock by 1.6% and reduced the service period of experienced cows by 8 days compared with the control ones. The use of the "Abiotonic" feed additive contributed to the receipt of additional income from the sale of milk in the amount of 1152 rubles / head. The obtained experimental data allow us to recommend the use of domestic import-substituting feed additive "Abiotonic" in the diets of cows in the transition period and for days in milk at a dose of 150 ml / head daily in the last phase of dry period and every other day for 40 days after calving.

The problem of complete mineral and vitamin nutrition in rabbit breeding is relevant today, despite new discoveries, and research in this direction continues both in Ukraine and around the world. The paper presents experimental data from the results of research to study the effect of different doses of vitamin and mineral supplement "Tekro" in the diets of young rabbits on their productivity, slaughter quality and biological value of rabbit meat. The obtained data of body growth, massometric indicators of carcasses and internal organs of rabbits of experimental groups after slaughter indicate a positive effect of vitamin-mineral supplement "Tekro" on the intensity of development of the body and individual internal organs, which contributes to increased metabolic processes and weight gain in animals research groups. Feeding vitamin and mineral supplements to rabbits of experimental groups of the New Zealand breed for 45 days contributed to a better transformation of feed nutrients into products. In rabbits of the 3rd experimental group, which together with basic ration were fed 3.5 % of the premix "Tekro" at 90 days of age, the highest rates of body weight were recorded, which differed by 8.89 % compared to the control group. In a set of indicators that characterize the nutritional value of rabbit meat, we studied sensory indicators that characterize the quality of rabbit meat: taste, color, pH, juiciness, moisture content, elasticity, aroma, "marbling", etc. It was found that in the appearance of carcasses and muscles in the control group, the samples scored 8.4 points. In the 3-rd and 4-th experimental groups, the number of points on this indicator was higher by 1.2 %. The difference was a trend. Examining the aroma of meat, it was found that in the control of this indicator, the samples scored 7.8 points. In meat samples from experimental groups 3 and 4, the aroma was more identical to natural, so the samples received 2.6 % higher scores. Samples from 3 experimental groups scored the most points in terms of taste. Compared with the control, the figure was higher by 3.6 %. Examining the juiciness of rabbit meat, it was found that samples obtained from carcasses 2 and 3 of the experimental group tended to increase this indicator. Summing up the data, it was found that the highest overall score was found in meat samples from 3 experimental groups. The difference with the control was within the trend and amounted to 2.4 %. Feeding rabbits vitamin and mineral supplements to rabbits helps to obtain good quality meat products with high culinary properties. No data were available to support the effect of vitamin and mineral supplements on compound feed on the synthesis of toxic substances in muscle tissue or the deterioration of rabbit meat. The biological value of muscle samples from rabbits of the 2-nd experimental group did not differ from the control data. The increase was only 0.11 %. It was found that the biological value of muscle tissue from animals of the 4th experimental group was greater than in the control. The difference was 2.6 % Meat obtained from rabbits of the 3rd experimental group, which were fed compound feed with a content of mineral-vitamin supplement "Tekro" 3.5 %, in biological value outweighed the control indicators. The difference was not significant and amounted to 4.1 %. The use of different doses of vitamin and mineral supplements in the feed of young rabbits did not lead to significant changes in the quality of raw hides and furs.

The mineral elements interact not only among themselves, but also with the organic components during complex metabolism process. Identifying the features of the feed nutrient substances relationship allows you to direct the body’s metabolism in the direction of their effectiveness and to obtain the maximum output from the animals. The experimental part of the work was carried out on poultry complex “Agrofirma Zalesnyy” of the Republic of Tatarstan from January to May 2016. The objects of research were female turkey-broilers of “Hybrid Converter” cross, mineral supplement “Tseostimul”, probiotic “Provagen” and symbiotic preparation of a new generation. With this aim, four groups of turkey were formed of 40 heads. The first group was a control one and received a basic diet, adopted by the poultry farm. The second group received the basic diet, added with mineral supplements with a dosage of 30 gramm per 1 kilogramm of feed. Turkeys of III-experimental group was added to the diet of probiotic preparation “Provagen” at a dose of 3 gramm per 1 kilogramm of feed. The turkeys of IV-test group received in addition to the basic diet a symbiotic drug rate of 20 gramm per 1 kilogramm of feed. The main diet was consisted of complete feed. Duration of the experiment was 112 days. By the end of the experiment the body weight of experimental groups exceeded the similar index: in the control group to 1082 gramm (р ≥0,001), in the first test group to 781 gramm (р ≥0,001), in the second test group to 1339 gramm (р ≥0,001), in the third group with addition of symbiotic drugs or to 12.3%, 8.9% and 15.3% respectively. The numbers of leukocytes was decreased from 34.2 109/L to 33.3 109/L in I experimental group, to 33.2 109/L in II and to 34.4 109/L in IV experimental group. The mass of internal organs was significantly higher in females of experimental groups. Thus, the weight of the liver of experimental groups was greater to 12.3%, 8.9% and 15.3%, compared with the control group.

Background. The number of patients with soft tissue wounds does not tend to decrease, which is largely due to the growth of patients with injuries, ulcerative defects, skin tumors, comorbid pathology, including diabetes mellitus, antibiotic-resistant strains and other causes. New methods of local treatment of wounds based on the application of the latest achievements of science are constantly being introduced into the work of surgical departments. High efficiency is demonstrated by the use of sorbents and oxygen, which enhance the reparative processes in wounds.The aim of the study was to study in experimental conditions the effectiveness of the method of surgical treatment of soft tissue wounds, based on the use of jet oxygen sorption treatment (SCS).Materials and methods. The study was performed on 150 white Wistar rats in 5 groups of animals. In the 1st control group treatment was not carried out. In the 2nd and 3rd control groups, the wound surface was treated with a jet of air and oxygen, respectively; in the 4th control group, sorbent was applied to the wound surface. In the 1st experimental group conducted scso wound surface. The study of the effectiveness of SCS was carried out using objective, planimetric, histological and histochemical research methods. Results. The use of sorbent (4th control group) and the method of jet oxygen sorption treatment (1st main group) led to the most pronounced positive changes-acceleration of relief of the studied symptoms by 1.1-1.3 times and 1.2 1.5 times, respectively, compared with the data obtained in the 1st control group. Treatment of wounds with oxygen jet (3rd control group) had practically no advantages in comparison with treatment with air jet (2nd control group).Conclusion. Indirectly, the highest activity of reparative processes during the observation period in the 4th control and 1st main groups was confirmed by the average optical density of RNA and SH-groups, and their desire to normalize to 10 days could indicate the completion of processes of stratification in the wound area. In total, the average area of wounds was minimal in the 1st experimental group, where this figure was by the 3rd and 10th days-74.0% and 99.5% compared to the baseline data.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of a newly developed computer-assisted instructional package for life skills (CAIFLS) specifically designed to raise awareness of risky sexual behaviors among Thai early adolescents in Bangkok. Methods:  The research process included two phases: (1) the development and (2) the use and evaluation of the newly developed CAIFLS package. First, 5 teachers and 5 Grade 7 students of a Bangkok school were interviewed to collect information needed for the development of CAIFLS. The second phase was to implement learning activities through CAIFLS with a total of 87 Bangkok school students, consisting of 44 students for the experimental group who received CAIFLS for 4 sessions, and 43 students for the control group who received routine class lecture. CAIFLS instructions, lesson plans and worksheets were designed as the experiment methods. Then questionnaires of life skills assessments and student satisfaction were used to investigate the effects and the student satisfaction of CAIFLS.  Results: The findings revealed that the efficiency values of the CAIFLS package were 80.2/82.5, higher than the set criteria of 80/80. Mean scores on life skills for the experimental group significant increased (p < .05), which was higher than the control group. The students also showed their satisfaction of CAIFLS at a high level (M = 4.20, S.D. = 0.29) Conclusions: CAIFLS can be used as an effective learning tool to enhance life skills to prevent risky sexual behaviors among Thai early adolescents.
