To prevent postpartum pathologies in cows, the study used the drug “Bolus rozröd +” – boluses containing ionized iodine (1.0%), selenium (0.15%), cobalt (0.50%) and copper (13.4%) and their long-term digestibility (within 6-8 months). The choice of the drug “Bolus rozröd +” as a means of prevention of postpartum pathologies is due to the fact that it contains trace elements that are deficient in the diet of the dairy complex “Ekaterinoslavsky”, the lack of which is a leading link in the etiopathogenesis of postpartum pathologies. A significant advantage is that the drug is relatively inexpensive (~ 10 $), and its components have a long digestibility (within 6-8 months), which can significantly reduce the frequency of injections (single, repeated ─ if necessary), and hence the total cost for preventive measures, treatment of sick animals and reduction of their stress during active milking, which will also reduce financial losses from unproduced milk. The experimental group (25) was given the drug “Bolus rozröd +”, heated to a temperature of 15-200C, orally, using an applicator (bolus) at the rate of 1 bolus per animal. The effectiveness of the drug “Bolus rozröd +” was determined according to the dynamics of biochemical blood tests and clinical evaluation of the postpartum period in cows. It was established that the method of prevention of postpartum pathologies in cows using the drug “Bolus rozrod +” is therapeutically effective, because it improves the biochemical parameters of the blood of animals, in particular, and reduces the incidence of postpartum pathology in general. Thus, the drug reduced the clinical manifestations of the following diseases: ketosis-metritis, placental delay and ketosis, and the number of healthy animals was 20% higher than in the control group, which proves the positive effect of the drug “Bolus rozröd +”.

As the smartphone has become an indispensable device in modern lives, consequential psychosocial problems such as smartphone addiction have been getting attention worldwide, especially regarding adolescents. Based on its positive effect on young individuals’ mental health, mind subtraction meditation has been widely applied to many school-based programs in South Korea. This study aims to identify the effects of a school program based on mind subtraction on the smartphone addiction of adolescents. A total of 49 high school sophomores, 24 from the experimental group (mean age = 16), and 25 from the control group (mean age = 16) are included in this case-control study. The experimental group is given the meditation program sessions in the morning, two times a week for 20 min per session, for a total of 12 weeks. The experimental group shows improvements regarding the ‘smartphone addiction’ section (p < 0.001), for instant satisfaction (p < 0.001) and long-term satisfaction (p < 0.001). Concerning the ‘self-control’ section and decreasing stress (p < 0.001), problem focusing (p < 0.001), and social support navigation (p = 0.018), there are improvements in these ‘stress coping strategies’ sections. This study directly shows the positive effect of mind subtraction meditation on smartphone addiction in adolescents and, thus, provides guidance to the future development of smartphone addiction prevention programs for young individuals.

The basis of the drug “Vitosept” is a solution of high-purity sodium hypochlorite (SH), which is obtained in a specially developed dyadiafragm flow electrolyzer, in the process of direct electrochemical reaction, bypassing the formation of molecular chlorine. As an initial electrolyte, an isotonic solution of sodium chloride (0.9% NaCl) was prepared on water purified by a special technology. Such solutions do not contain impurities of organic substances and transition metal ions. The resulting solution of SH is the optimal carrier of active oxygen. The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of various dosage of the drug “Vitosept” for its intravenous introduction, in a long-term experiment. As a result of the conducted experiments, it was found that during the entire observation period of the investigated drug “Vitosept” signs of inadequate reaction, intoxication or death of animals were not observed. At the same time, there were no reservations regarding behavioral reactions, reflex excitability, clinical manifestations of respiratory distress, urinary excision and defecation. Only animals of the 4th group, after administration of the highest dosage of the drug (500 mg/l), were slightly suppressed, were slightly responsive to acoustic and light stimuli, had somewhat disturbed reflex excitability. However, an hour after the cessation of giving the drug, the evidence of all the animals in this group disappeared. It was found out that for long-term intradermal introduction to the laboratory animals of the drug “Vitosept” at dosages of 50 and 100 mg/l, the abnormalities in the studied morphological and biochemical parameters of blood, compared to the same in the control group were not found. Concerning the rats of the IV group that received the highest study dosage of the drug (500 mg/l) through the probe, certain possible changes in the hematological, biochemical parameters of blood (leukocyte count increase in blood, activity of AsAT, LF, decrease in serum urea blood concentration, creatinine) were observed, in our opinion, compensatory and disappeared within a few days after discontinuation of the drug. Consequently, taking into account our previous studies on the establishment of the parameters of acute toxicity of the drug “Vitosept” and the results obtained regarding its effects on hemopoiesis and the functional state of the liver and kidneys, it can be argued that the drug “Vitocet” belongs to the IV class of compounds – low toxicity.

In this paper, we studied the effect of a probiotic, based on the Enterococcus Faeci-um L-3 strain on 20 black-motley calves. The effect of the drug on their biochemical parameters of blood serum were studied. The authors found that this drug, which was fed to calves up to 45 days of age, had a positive effect on the biochemical parameters of blood and on the total animal organism.. So, at 14 days of age, blood serum parame-ters in calves, not receiving the drug, such as: bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotrans-ferase levels were significantly higher than in calves that received probiotic, which indi-cates possible dystrophic changes in the liv-er. Also, at 14 days of age in cows, reciev-ing the drug , the blood serum amylase level was significantly higher than of the calves, not receiving the drug. By the age of 30 days, the tendency to a higher content of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, alanine ami-notransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in the blood serum, persisted in the calves of the control group, compared with the ani-mals of the experimental group. By the age of 45 days, the levels of bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase were also significantly higher in control group of animals, than in experimental group and were 5.0 ± 0.56 μmol / L and 3.72 ± 0.4 μmol / L , 30.66 ± 2.9 IU / L and 16.52 ± 1.2 IU / L, 345.7 ± 30.7 and 226.6 ± 24.1, respectively.The results obtained, indicated that regular feeding of a probiotic based on Enterococcus Faecium L-3 to calves of the milky period, contributes to the normaliza-tion of biochemical parameters and greater resistance to gastrointestinal disorders.

Pragmatic Instruction

Over the last three decades, a growing number of studies have investigated the effects of instruction on the acquisition of pragmatic features in L2. The bulk of this research has focused mainly on the teaching of English as a second/foreign language. However, instructional pragmatic studies in L2-Russian are lacking. The main purpose of our study is to contribute towards filling this gap by analysing the effects of pragmatic instruction on the acquisition of two speech acts by Italian learners of Russian. Furthermore, we aim to explore whether the Multimodal Russian Corpus (MURCO), a multimedia subcorpus of the Russian National Corpus, can be an effective tool for teaching speech acts in L2-Russian. Our research was composed of one experimental group (n = 18) and one control group (n = 11); each was composed of two intact classes of Italian university students at an intermediate level of L2-Russian, who were pre- and post-tested using a written discourse completion task. The experimental group was subjected to a programme of pragmatic instruction – eight thirty-minute MURCO-based lessons devoted to requests and advice, while the control group was taught according to the standard syllabus, that is, with no pragmatic instruction. The results revealed that the use of the target pragmatic features varied significantly in the experimental group, but not in the control group, thus showing a general positive effect of the instructional treatment based on the MURCO corpus. However, some limitations were identified with regard to the usability of this tool by teachers and learners.

An intensive physical exercise program could lead to a decrease in immune system function. Effects of long-term supplementation of bovine colostrum on the response of immune function on physical exercise test in athletes were examined. Twenty-seven elite female basketball players (age 16–19) were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. Eventually, n = 11 athletes completed intervention in the experimental group (3.2 g bovine colostrum orally twice a day for 24 weeks), while n = 9 athletes in the control group were given a placebo. Before the supplementation, after 3 and 6 months, subjects performed the physical exercise stress test. Before, just after, and 3 h after physical exercise testing, blood was drawn and immune system indicators were examined. Plasma interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-2, IL-10, IL-13, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha, creatine kinase (CK MM), immunoglobulin G (IgG), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), and WBC, lymphocyte (LYM), monocyte (MON), and granulocyte (GRA) were measured. A statistically significant change in IL-10 in response to the exercise program during the supplementation period in both groups was observed (p = 0.01). However, the results of the rest of the comparisons were statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). Contrary to our initial hypothesis, there were no significant effects of bovine supplementation on the dynamics of immune system function indicators.

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).

Abstract the aim of our study was to evaluate influence of probiotic agents (Lactovita) and seaweed extracts (Biopolym) with antidiarrheal effects on the prevention of diarrhoea in calves. In the experiment 22 experimental and 22 control calves were observed. The results of the observed incidence of diarrhoea in the control and experimental groups showed a positive effect of probiotic Lactovita and seaweed extracts Biopolymer. 32% of calves in the experimental group and 45% of calves in the control group became sick. Unfortunately, we could not demonstrate the statistical significance of these differences. The weight gains found in the 4th week after birth were by 37.6% higher in the group with Lactovita and Biopolym than in the control group.

In 2010 and 2011 two experiments on gimmers of Šumava mountain sheep were performed. The first experiment was carried out on 12 animals (experimental period was 11 months); control group was fed with 3 mg I*kg−1 in dry matter per day and experimental group was fed with 5 mg I*kg−1 in dry matter per day. The second experiment lasted 10 months and it was carried out on 12 animals. Feed ration for control group contained 10 mg I*kg DM−1. Feed ration for experimental group contained 10 mg I*kg DM−1 too; moreover it included rapeseed meal and 1 g of sodium nitrate. The aim of the first experiment was focused on impact of high iodine intake on structure of thyroid gland. The aim of the second experiment was to discover effect of strumigens during high iodine intake on structure of thyroid gland. The animals were slaughtered after the experiment and there was executed the dissection of thyroid gland. The samples of thyroid gland were processed during classic paraffin method and dyed with haematoxylin and eosin. For finding of histometrical parameters was used program Leica IM 500 Version 4.0. The length, the width and the area of follicles were measured. The follicles were divided into three groups after this procedure (by the length); in each group were measured 20 thyreocytes. In group with intake 5 mg I*kg DM−1 (experiment from year 2010): higher weight of thyroid (p < 0.01), significant higher (p < 0.05) proportional representation of large and medium follicles, significantly (p < 0.05) higher average size of follicles, demonstrably lower (p < 0.05) height of epithelium were found. There were not found any differences in monitored parameters between the groups from experiment which was carried out during the year 2011. After comparing results from the both experiments significantly higher percentage representation of large follicles a significantly lower representation of small follicles, distinctly higher average size and higher height of epithelium in all size categories, in groups with iodine intake 10 mg I*kg DM−1was found (from second experiment – year 2011).
