Some economically useful signs of the pigs of a Large White breed in OOO “Rossyia”

The researches were carried out in ООО “Rossyia” of the Mozhginsky district of the Udmurt Republic. The object of the research was the sows of the main herd of a Large White pig breed. The reproductive qualities of the sows were studied according to such indicators as: the multiple births, the milkness, the mass of a nest in 2 months. The study of reproductive qualities was carried out using breeding cards of the sows and a book for registering farrowing and offspring of the pigs. The evaluation of the reproductive qualities of sows was carried out by calculating the indicators of a variational statistics: the arithmetic mean, the mean quadrate deviation, the coefficients of the variation, the heritability, the correlation. The indicator of a variational statistics was calculated according to the method of N.A. Plokhinsky. The reliability of the coefficients of the heritability and the correlation was determined using Student's t-test. Then studying the reproductive qualities of the sows of the main herd it was established that the multiple births in the average was 10.61 heads, the milkness — 51.34 kg, and the mass of a nest in 2 months — 156.72 kg. Hereat the coefficient of the variability on the multiple births was 12.95%, on the milkness — 8.41%, and on the mass of a nest in 2 months — 10.02%. The coefficient of heritability on the multiple births was 15.00%, on the milkness — 20.00%, and on the mass of a nest in 2 months — 25.00% (P > 0.999). The coefficients of the correlation between the multiple births and the milkness and the multiple births and the mass of a nest in 2 months, respectively, were r = +0.769 and r = + 0.474, and the coefficient of the correlation between the milkness and the mass of a nest in 2 months — r = + 0.754 under the probability of the infallible prognoses P > 0.999.

Hematological condition of breeding bulls after a long winter period of operation in the conditions of the Udmurt Republic

Purpose: to study hematological parameters of blood in bulls-producers of dairy breeds on the day of semen collection in the Udmurt Republic after a long winter period of operation, depending on the breeds, age and place of selection.Materials and methods. The work was performed at the Federal Research Center for Animal Husbandry named after Academy Member L. K. Ernst on the basis of AO "Udmurtplem" of the Udmurt Republic in the period from 2020 to 2021 on dairy bulls (n=20) aged 15-69 months, including a purebred Holstein breed of domestic selection (n=6), a Holstein black-and-white breed of European selection (the Netherlands, n=6), a black-and-white breed with blood transfusion on Holsteins on at the level of 94-98% (n=8). The content of white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin and hematocrit, depending on age and breed, was studied on the ABC VET hematological analyzer on the day of taking the seed.Results. It was found that on average, in 20 bulls aged 15-69 months, the level of white blood cells was at the level of reference values of 8.8±0.25 x 109/l, red blood cells 10.3 x 1012/l, which is 50% more than the reference values. The concentration of hemoglobin is 128.0±2.92 g/l, hematocrit is on average 54.3%, with a norm of 24-46%. Breeding bulls at a reliable level, differing in age, showed that some animals had high indicators for red blood cells of 10.3±0.26 x 102, for hematocrit of 54.3% against 24-46% of reference values. Also, according to hematological indicators, there was a tendency to increase the concentration of hemoglobin and hematocrit in European-bred bulls.Conclusion. The study of the variability in hematological parameters depending on the selection showed that there is no significant difference in leukocytes and all indicators are at the level of reference values, and in erythrocytes more than 50% than the highest indicators. The highest hemoglobin values were at the level of 141-156 g/l instead of 128 g/l according to the highest reference values. Hematocrit also showed high max values in all groups in comparison with the reference values of 59-66% versus 46% in the norm. It is necessary when analyzing hematological blood parameters in addition to the average statistical indicators (M+m) also, monitor the variability (min-max) in order to obtain more objective information.

Hormonal biochemical monitoring at bull-producers of different breeds in the conditions of the Central Black Economic District

Purpose: To conduct a comprehensive monitoring of bulls of different breeds in the summer in a comparative perspective to the study of protein-lipid and mineral metabolism, as well as to determine hormonal status on the content of endogenous hormones: testosterone, estradiol, cortisol and serum thyroxine per day taking seed.Materials and methods. For the first time in a Chernozem region of the Russian Federation (Voronezh region) was carried out comprehensive monitoring of bulls of red-motley Holstein (n = 16), Red-and-White (n = 8) and Simmental (n = 6) rocks in the same time of year (summer) of the protein-lipid and mineral metabolism, as well as the level of endogenous hormone (testosterone, estradiol, cortisol, thyroxine) and their cholesterol precursor in comparative aspect, immediately after taking the seed. Age range bulls ranged from 2 to 11 years. General monitoring was conducted on 23 indices of blood serum 3 rocks. The studies were conducted by modern methods, using modern equipment and reagents.Results. At Red Pied Holsteins an increase of total protein 100.45 g / L versus 92 g / l in normal (above the norm of 9.2%, as compared with red and White breed at the level of 11.3%). A similar increase in concentration in the blood of Holstein bulls red-White breed recorded on globulins, 68.87 g / l to 63 g / l in normal (above the norm of 9.3%), and with respect to the red-and-White breed 17, 6%. Also notes the high content of AST bulls red-motley Holstein against the red-and-White 18%, but within the reference range. Condition protein and lipid metabolism in sires only differed in content of creatinine, which amounted to 165.04 micromol / l against 163 mmol / l in normal, 1.6% higher as compared to the red and white breed this index was higher 18.7%. According to the content of testosterone highest rate was observed in bulls red-White breed 54.73 ± 9.51 nmol / l, is 10.2% more than in bulls red checkered-Holstein and 12.45% compared with Simmental breed. Similarly, in terms of serum cortisol - 355.60 ± 39.2 nmol / l in the red-bulls White breed that more than 2-fold compared with bulls Red Pied Holstein and Simmental. The difference is statistically significant at P ≤ 0,01. According to the content of estradiol relatively low levels recorded in the bulls of red-motley breed - 0.265 nmol / L vs. 0.301 nmol / L in red bulls-motley Holstein, and 0.332 nmol / L - Simmental, is lower by 13.6% and 25 , 3%, respectively.Conclusion. It was found that substantially all of the studied parameters in bulls 3 breeds are at reference values, and this gives grounds to assume that all of these breeds are well adapted to the conditions of Black Soil.

POLYMORPHISM OF PROLACTIN AND SOMATOTROPIN GENES IN DAIRY CATTLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF TATARSTAN

Изучен полиморфизм и определена частота встречаемости аллельных вариантов по генам пролактина (PRL) и соматотропина (GH) у коров в условиях двух племенных хозяйств Республики Татарстан. Объектом исследования были животные черно-пестрой породы первого (n=151) и третьего (n=168) отелов и холмогорской породы первого (n=160) и третьего (n=143) отелов. Проведено генотипирование коров по генам PRL и GH методом ДНК-диагностики. Установлено, что среди молочного скота преимущественно встречаются особи с генотипом PRL АА (70,0—77,5%), с частотой аллеля А гена пролактина — 0,83—0,87, аллеля В — 0,13—0,17. Встречаемость аллеля В была выше среди холмогорских коров (0,16—0,17). В стаде полновозрастных животных черно-пестрой породы имеется сдвиг генетического равновесия в сторону генотипов PRL AA и PRL BB (χ2=3,97; Р<0,05). В исследуемых стадах крупного рогатого скота выражено преимущество генотипа GH LL с частотой встречаемости 51,0—79,2%. Встречаемость генотипа GH VV у черно-пестрого скота составила 2,0—2,4%, у холмогорского — 5,6—7,0%. Аллель L гена соматотропина преобладает над аллелем V в обеих породах. При этом чаще встречаемость аллеля L GH среди коров холмогорской породы (0,28—0,29). У холмогорских коров больше представлены редкие и желательные аллели генов PRL и GH. Чтобы повысить встречаемость «предпочтительных» в хозяйственном отношении генотипов и аллелей ДНК-маркеров, необходимо в большей степени использовать быков-производителей с желательными аллелями PRL и GH, а именно В и V соответственно. The polymorphism was studied and the frequency of occurrence of allelic variants for the genes of prolactin (PRL) and somatotropin (GH) was determinedin cows in two bred livestock farms of the Republic of Tatarstan. The object of the study were animals of the black-and-white breed of the first (n=151) and third (n=168) calving and the Kholmogory breed of the first (n=160) and third (n=143) calving. Genotyping of cows for PRL and GH genes was carried out using method of DNA diagnostics. It was revealed that there were mainly individuals with the PRL AA genotype (70,0–77,5%)among dairy cattle, the frequency of the A allele of the prolactin gene was 0,83–0,87, the B allele was 0,13–0,17. The frequency of allele B was higher among Kholmogory cows (0,16–0,17). There was a shift in the genetic balance towards the PRL AA and PRL BB genotypes (χ2=3,97; Р<0,05) in the herd of full-age animals of the black-and-white breed. The advantage of the GH LL genotype was expressed with a frequency of occurrence 51,0–79,2% in the studied cattle herds. The occurence of the GH VV genotype was 2,0–2,4%in black-and-white cattle, 5,6–7,0% was in Kholmogorycattle. The L allele of the somatotropin gene predominated over the V allele in both breeds. Moreover, the occurrence of the L GH allele among cows of the Kholmogory breed (0,28–0,29) was more often. Rare and desirable alleles of the PRL and GH genes are more represented in Kholmogory cows. In order to increase the occurrence of economically “preferred” genotypes and alleles of DNA markers, it is necessary to use more stud bulls with the desired PRL and GH alleles, namely B and V, respectively.

Realization of the potential of cows of Holstein breed of different generations in terms of productive traits

Breeding work with dairy cattle in the Kurgan region is aimed at breeding animals that combine the adaptive properties and valuable traits of cattle of Black-and-White breed with a high proportion of genes of Holstein breed. Such animals are characterized by high productivity and suitability for intensive technology of their housing. The purpose of the research was to determine the indicators of milk productivity of first-calf heifers of different generations of Holstein breed, imported to the pedigree farms of the Kurgan region, as well as to determine the degree of realization of the genetic potential of animals. Scientific research has been carried out in the herd of CJSC “Glinka” (Kurgan), where highly productive cattle of Black-and-White and Holstein breeds are bred. The subject of research was the first-calf heifers of the imported Holstein breed of German selection of different generations, as well as the herdmates of Black-and-White breed. It has been found that the realization of the genetic potential for milk yield in Holstein cows of German breeding was higher and amounted to 76,4 %, in cows of Black-and-White breed 69,9 %. The highest milk yield for 305 days of lactation has been observed in the second generation of Holstein heifers 8905 kg, which exceeded the milk yield of herdmates of the second and third generations by 113 kg or 1,26 % and 174 kg or 1,95 %, respectively. The mass fraction of fat in German Holsteins of different generations ranged from 3,99 to 4,21 % (P < 0,001), while the mass fraction of protein in the milk of first-calf heifers varied slightly in the range from 3,18 to 3,20 %. In terms of live weight, the animals of the third generation slightly exceeded the herdmates of the 1st and 2nd generations by 19 kg or 3,25 % and 20 kg or 3,43 %, respectively. The largest profit has been received from the first-generation first-calf heifers of Holstein breed of German selection, where the level of profitability of milk production was 50,7 %, which was higher than that of the herdmates of the second and third generations by 3,9 and 7,9 %, respectively.

The influence of large-scale loss of piglets on their some meat and felting qualities

Purpose: the goal is to study in the piglets of a large white breed of influence of body weight at birth (large-way) on the thickness of the scraping and the age of achieving the live weight of 100 kg.Materials and methods. The object of the study - piglets (hrying and pigs) of a large white breed from birth until they achieve a live mass of 100 kg. The growth and development of piglets-sausage was studied by weighing them at birth. Primary data included 4215 weight records at the birth of tribal purebred piglets of a large white breed (hrying and pigs). Posyat, both live births and stillborn, weighed individually within 24 hours from the moment of birth. Weighing was carried out on scales with an accuracy of 100 g. The conditions of detention and feeding were the same. Three groups of experimental animals were formed, taking into account the live masses at birth. The first group was made up piglets with low live weight (1.0 kg and lower), the second - piglets with a normal body weight at birth (from 1.1 to 1.9 kg) and were divided into nine subgroups of 0.1 kg, the third - individuals with high live weight (2.0 kg and above). The thickness of the strika was measured in a lifestyle-meater ultrasonic device in the region over 6-7 breast vertebrae when a live mass of 100 kg is achieved (in the range of 60 kg to 150 kg).Results. It has been established that the floor of the animal, multipleness, month-year of birth, herd, liveborn or stillborn piglets in litter affect the average weight of the birth of piglets, as well as the thickness of the scraping and the number of days to achieve a live weight of 100 kg. The difference in weight at birth between the floors was insignificant, and the males were somewhat heavier piglets. Piglets 3 groups have had a higher average weight at birth compared to piglets 1 and 2 groups. Bible weight decreased when the size of the litter increased with 4 piglets (n = 54) to 17 piglets (n = 22). Piglets with a low live weight at birth had the most thick thickness of the striking at a weight of 100 kg and the longest was taken to 100 kg. In animals with high body weight at birth was the thinnest thickness of the strik, and it took the least day to reach the live weight of 100 kg. The thickness of the strip that pigs with a living weight of 100 kg decreased with an increase in body weight at birth. In pigs with a low live weight at birth, the strik thickness was 0,5 mm thicker (p≥0,999) compared with pigs weighing 1.4 kg and 1.5 mm thick stuck (p≥0,999) compared with the 3rd group. A significant correlation -0,20 was found between the live body weight at birth and the thickness of the scraping when the animals reach 100 kg.Conclusion. Thus, the sex of the animal, multipleness, liveborn or stillborn piglets in the litter - all this affected the middle weight at the birth of piglets, as well as the thickness of the scraping and the number of days to achieve live weight 100 kg. Analyzing the above data, we can assume that the ratio rate (weight of the birth of piglets) must be considered to further predict the productivity of the animal.

Milk productivity of cows depending on their origin on genealogical line

The improvement of cattle of Black-and-White breed by mating of maternal stock with the sires of Holstein breed continues at the present time. Therefore, breeding in pedigree farms for the production of milk is carried out including the use of Holstein lines. The purpose of the work was to assess the milk productivity of cows of Black-and-White breed, with a high proportion of blood in Holstein breed, depending on their linear origin. In the herd of the breeding farm where the research has been carried out, the lines Reflection Sovereign 198998 and Wes Ideal 933122 occupy the dominant position in terms of the specific weight of cattle, followed by the line Montwick Chieftain 95679. The difference in milk yield between groups of cows of different lines was from 3,0 to 354 kg or 0,04 to 4,6 %. The highest milk yield was shown by the first-calf heifers of the line Wes Ideal 933122 – 7787±123,21 kg. In the milk of the first-calf heifers of the line Pabst Governor 882933 compared with herdmates of other lines the increased content of fat and protein has been noted,. The difference in the mass fraction of fat in milk was significant in favor of Pabst Governor 882933 cows (P ≤ 0,01–0,001). There was also the significant difference in the mass fraction of fat in milk between the groups of cows of the lines Montwick Chieftain 95679, Reflection Sovereign 198998 and Wes Ideal 933122 in favor of the latter at P ≤ 0,05–0,01. A definite association between milk yield and the mass fraction of fat in milk has not been established. There is a pattern of the positive association between the mass fraction of fat and the mass fraction of protein in milk and it is clearly seen that with the increase in the mass fraction of fat in milk, there is the increase in the mass fraction of protein.

Influence of a complex feed additive on the morphological and biochemical parameters of the blood of first-calf heifers during the period of increasing the milk yield

It is known that mineral additives play an important role in increasing the productivity and efficiency of the animal husbanry industry as a whole. The state of the body can be assessed by the content of mineral substances in a blood test. The purpose of the work was to study changes in morphological and biochemical blood parameters in first-calf heifers during the period of increasing the milk yield when they are fed a complex mineral and vitamin feed additive (CMVFA). The study of the influence of feeding the complex mineral and vitamin feed additive in the ration to first-calf heifers during the the period of increasing the milk yield on morphological and biochemical blood parameters has been carried out. The experiments were carried out in 2019–2020 in the OOO Breeding Farm “Valiev” in the Dyurtyulinsky district in the Republic of Bashkortostan on 3 groups of first-calf heifers of Black-and-White breed per 15 heads in each selected by the method of pairs of analogues. The animals of the control group received the main ration (MR) adopted on the farm, the 1st experimental group MR+120 g/head CMVFA according to the recipe No. 1, the 2nd experimental group MR+120 g/head CMVFA according to the recipe No. 2. In the ration of animals of the control group there was a deficiency of basic macro- and microelements. The use of CMVFA as part of the ration of first-calf heifers during the period of increasing the milk yield had a positive effect on the morphological and biochemical parameters of blood. Studies have shown that the use of CMVFA in the rations of first-calf heifers provided the need for minerals and vitamins, accelerating metabolic processes in the body during the most stressful period of lactation, the period of increasing the milk yield. According to the results of biochemical blood parameters, it is possible to esimate the improvement of protein, carbohydrate and mineral and vitamin nutrition in the first-cakf heifers of the experimental groups during the period of increasing the milk yield, which showed their genetic potential more fully and used nutrients more effectively for milk synthesis.

PSX-B-28 Reproductive function of sows with the using of feed additive “Verva”

The aim of the study was to study the effect of the feed additive “Verva” on the reproductive ability of sows and the recovery of their sexual cyclicity. Fir triterpenic acids are the main active ingredient of the feed additive. The study was conducted on 80 sows of the large white breed. Experimental and control groups were formed: GE (n=50), GC (n=30). GE sows from the 80th day of pregnancy for 30 days were additionally given “Verva” at a dose of 3 g per head per day. GC sows weren’t given the “Verva”. Hunting was detected within seven days after weaning the piglets. Artificial insemination was performed twice and the effectiveness was determined on day 28 by ultrasound. The number, weight of newborn piglets in GE and GC don’t differ significantly. By weaning, 10.94±0.17 heads were obtained from one sow in GE, which is 9.1% (p &lt; 0.01) more than in GC. By weaning, the weight of the nest (total weight of piglets) in GC was 66.72=2.13 kg, which is 7.3% (p &lt; 0.05) less than in GE. The “Verva” has a positive effect on the activation of sexual cyclicity: in GE, 95.3% of animals came to the hunt, and in GC-by 4.4% less. On the 4th day after weaning the piglets, 34.1% of the animals came to the hunt in GE, 40% in GC, on the 5th day–46.3% in GE and 50% in GC. On the 6th, 7th days in GE, 17.1% and 2.1% of sows came to the hunt, and in GC, 10.0% and 0.0%, respectively. The efficiency of artificial insemination in GE was 95.4%, which is 13.5% higher than in GC. The “Verva” has a positive effect on the milk production of sows, preserves their progeny, sexual cyclicity after weaning piglets, increases the duration of economic use of animals.
