The seed bulls used for artificial insemination should be in good health, have outstanding genetic characteristics, have high sexual activity, and the biological products ob-tained from them should have high quality indices. One of the possible methods of increasing semen production is the introduction of dietary supplements into the diet. The intro-duction of new feed and biologically active supplements into the diet may cause both positive and negative changes in metabolic processes. Monitoring the biochemical status of blood allows detecting not only metabolic disorders in highly productive animals but also a lack of vitamins, mac-ro-and microelements. The research goal was to study the effect of a natural biostimulant (mineral supplement) made from maral antler press-cake on the blood biochemical indices ofBlack Pied seed bulls in the breeding company AO “Plempredpriyatiye Barnaulskoye”. Along with the basic diet, the seed bulls of the trial group received the natural biostimulant (mineral supplement) based on maral antler press-cake; the daily dose -15.0 g per head, for 30 days with 10 days’ interval after each application. The supple-ment was thoroughly mixed with compound feed before feeding. The mineral supplement is of powder form and contains a complex of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other biologically active substances. The use of a mineral supplement increased the amount of total protein and al-bumin by 7.15% and 18.3%, respectively. The blood glu-cose level in the seed bulls of the trial group was higher by 12% and cholesterol by 17.1% than in the blood of the con-trol group animals. Cholesterol of the seed bulls may be used as a structural material or a precursor in the synthesis of sex steroid hormones. The level of total calcium, alkaline reserve at the end of the experiment increased in the seed bulls when using the mineral supplement made from maral antler press-cake in the diet by 4.8% and 8.1%, respective-ly, as compared to the control group.

The studies were conducted in 2015 on Large Whitepigs of the breeding farm of the AO “Linevskiy plemzavod” (Altai Region, Smolenskiy District). The research goal was to determine the growth rate and blood biochemical indices of pigs when using LipoKar feed supplement.According to the design of the experiment, the animals of the control group were fed the basic dietonly. In the trial group, the sows received LipoKar feed supplement for 20 days startingfrom the 85th day of pregnancy. Then, the piglets born from them were also fed LipoKar feed supplement during the nursery period for 40 days in a 10 days’ interval. The dosages of the feed supplement were as following: for pregnant sows -2.1 g perhead per day; for young animals -0.8 g per head per day. The following effects of using LipoKar feed supplementwere found in the trial group: increasing piglet live weight from 4.2% to 11.7% (p < 0.001), average daily live weight gains -from 3.4% to 18.6% (p < 0.05); total protein, vitamin A and alkaline re-servein blood serum by 15.5% (p < 0.001), 9.2% (p < 0.05) and 20.9% (p < 0.001), respectively

The usage period of seed-bulls, their sexual activity, the amount and quality of semen obtained from them depend both on the individual characteristics of the animal organ-ism and numerous environmental factors. The diet should contain all the necessary organic substances: easily digest-ible carbohydrates (starch and sugar), lipids, minerals and vitamins. The lack or deficiency of macro-and trace ele-ments in the diet and inadequate ratio of individual mineral elements disrupts the processes of nutrient intake into the animal body, thereby contributing to the disruption of meta-bolic processes. However, the mineral composition of plant forages depends largely on soil and climatic conditions, production and storage techniques. The average trace element deficiency in energy-balanced diets is 30-50%, and that necessitates using mineral supplements in animal diets. The nature of changes occurring in an animal body when feeding new forages, feed supplements, biological growth promoters and other products should and may be controlled through the main blood values. The research goal was to study the blood morphological composition of Black Pied seed bulls when using a mineral supplement based on maral antler press-cake. The experimental stud-ies were carried out in the breeding company AO “Plempredpriyatiye Barnaulskoye”, the Altai Region, in 2021, in the control and trial groups of comparable Black Pied seed bulls used on the farms of the Altai Region. Along with the basic diet, the seed bulls of the trial group received the mineral supplement based on maral antler press-cake; the daily dose -15.0 g per head, for 30 days with 10 days’ interval aftereach application. The supple-ment was mixed with compound feed before feeding. The mineral supplement was made at the Federal Altai Scien-tific Center of Agro-Biotechnologiesafter fermentation and autoclaving of maral antler press-cake; a significant amount of biologically active substances was found in ant-ler press-cake. The morphological status of the blood of seed bulls when using the mineral supplement made from maral antlers was characterized by a higher counts of erythrocytes, hemoglobin and leukocytes by 8.8%, 8.31% and 3.6%, higher values of hematocrit volume, mean cell hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) by 9.78%, 0.3%, 1.8% and 1.4%, respectively, as compared to those blood indices of the control group animals; that was indica-tive of its hematopoietic effect.

Present study was aimed to investigate the effects of two organophosphate pesticides (dimethoate and chlorpyrifos) on some blood biochemical parameters of juveniles common carps (Cyprinus carpio var. communis). Fingerlings were subjected to bioassays divided into 5 experimental groups in range finding test on the basis of which the doses for definitive tests were selected. The acute bioassay toxicity tests were carried out in triplicates for 96 hours with a control group run parallel to the experiment. Data obtained was analyzed as per Finney’s probit to determine LC50 values. The mean lethal concentration (LC50) values for dimethoate and chlorpyrifos were found 1.1ppm and 3.8ppb respectively. The samples were investigated for various blood biochemical indices such as total protein (TP), serum albumin (SA), serum globulin (SGLO), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), asphartate aminotransferase (AAT), serum bilirubin (SB), serum glucose (SGLU), serum cholesterol (SC), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). All the liver enzymes (AAT, ALT, SB and LDH) and glucose (SGLU) were found increased while as TP, SA, SGLO, SB and SC were found decreased than the normal. Chlorpyrifos, was however, found to alter the biochemical indices more profoundly than dimethoate. The results indicated the organophosphate pesticides are intensely harmful for fish health. Their entry to natural waterbodies must be stopped besides ensuring their judicious application around the catchment area.

Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) continues to be one of the major causes of cancer deaths worldwide. Meanwhile, liquid biopsies have received extensive attention in the screening and detection of cancer along with better understanding and clinical practice of biomarkers. In this work, 58 routine blood biochemical indices were tentatively used as integrated markers, which further expanded the scope of liquid biopsies and a discrimination system for GC consisting of 17 top-ranked indices, elaborated by random forest method was constructed to assist in preliminary assessment prior to histological and gastroscopic diagnosis based on the test data of a total of 2951 samples. The selected indices are composed of eight routine blood indices (MO%, IG#, IG%, EO%, P-LCR, RDW-SD, HCT and RDW-CV) and nine blood biochemical indices (TP, AMY, GLO, CK, CHO, CK-MB, TG, ALB and γ-GGT). The system presented a robust classification performance, which can quickly distinguish GC from other stomach diseases, different cancers and healthy people with sensitivity, specificity, total accuracy and area under the curve of 0.9067, 0.9216, 0.9138 and 0.9720 for the cross-validation set, respectively. Besides, this system can not only provide an innovative strategy to facilitate rapid and real-time GC identification, but also reveal the remote correlation between GC and these routine blood biochemical parameters, which helped to unravel the hidden association of these parameters with GC and serve as the basis for subsequent studies of the clinical value in prevention program and surveillance management for GC. The identification system, called GC discrimination, is now available online at http://lishuyan.lzu.edu.cn/GC/.
