The aim of the work was to investigate the adaptive abilities of the body of turkeys in a poultry farm in the Tyumen region. Research work was carried out at the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education of the State Agrarian University of the Northern Trans-Urals and in the conditions of the poultry farm LLC \"Absolut-Agro\". The object of the study was turkeys of different ages and genders of the Hybrid Converter novo cross. The studies were carried out using generally accepted methods to study the age-related dynamics of absolute mass, body temperature, respiratory rate, and the adaptation coefficient was calculated. Physiological indicators of temperature, respiratory rate were measured in 72 heads of broiler turkeys at the age of 21 days, 42, 64, 82, 105 and 126 ays. Analyzing the obtained data, we can say that in male turkeys, the adaptation process proceeds more evenly and quickly after the manifestation of sexual demorphism, as indicated by a uniform increase in absolute weight, a slight deviation from the actual weight from the normative one and a gradual decrease in the adaptation coefficient from 1.032 at the age of 42 days to 0.987 at the age of 126 days. In females, the adaptive abilities of the body are weaker, as indicated by sharp fluctuations in the actual weight from the normative values, as well as a sharp increase in the adaptation coefficient at 42 and 82 days.","PeriodicalId":14419,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"12 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139001350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the structure of the pelvic limbs that gives the relative springiness to the body of the sable with a jumpy run and the speed of movements and reactions to surrounding actions. In connection with the above, the relevance of this study is beyond doubt. The study was conducted at the Department of Animal Anatomy of the St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine. The objects for this study were the corpses of the black Pushkin sable breed of two age groups: 15-20 months from birth (physiological maturity) and 36-40 months from birth (puberty). To achieve this task, a complex of traditional anatomical research methods was used: fine anatomical dissection, maceration, photographing and morphometry. The age-related anatomical features of the skeleton and morphometric data of the femur of the sable of the Black Pushkin breed in conditions of limited mobility were established. Sables, living in natural conditions, receive significant physical exertion on the pelvic limb. This explains the decrease in the diameter of the femoral neck in animals with limited dynamics with age. Keeping these animals in the conditions of fur farms significantly reduces the level of locomotion, which certainly affects the development of bones and their structures. The patella block as an adaptive structure receives significant additional lateroal and proximal development, manifested in the form of ridges extending beyond the compact substance of the knee block. This structure of the block contributes to the maximum extension of the knee joint with the contraction of the quadriceps femoral muscle.","PeriodicalId":14419,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"47 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138996039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These include a decrease in the proportion of muscle tissue, the replacement of nerve structures with connective tissue elements, the development of synoptic depression and a decrease in the excitability and lability of the neuromuscular apparatus as a result. An important aspect of maintaining the quality of life of dogs older than 9 years is the prvention and postponement of irreversible degenerative processes. For this purpose, the introduction of physical activity into the protocols of prevention and rehabilitation after injuries is widespread in humane medicine. However, there is no convincing evidence base for the effectiveness of physical activity in relation to the prevention of age-related degenerative changes for animals. In the course of the work, the influence of physical activity on the manifestation of degenerative changes in animals aged 9 to 11 years was studied using an electrophysiological research method - electroneuromyography (ENMG). This technique helps to assess the functional state of neuromuscular structures using a graphical image (M-response curve). The obtained results show that the condition of the studied structures in the experimental group of animals according to the obtained electrophysiological data is estimated as more functionally preserved, compared with the animals of the control group. This is due to the fact that kinesiotherapy has a positive effect on the metabolic processes occurring at the cellular and tissue levels, thereby improving microcirclation and innervation of neuromuscular structures, and also has a restorative effect on the entire animal body The obtained results indisputably indicate the beneficial effect of physical activity on the state of the neuromuscular system of animals.","PeriodicalId":14419,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"216 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138997060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the presented study was to monitor the condition of rainbow trout based on the assessment of biochemical and morphological blood parameters in age dynamics to identify critical periods and develop an adaptogen from green microalgae for the correction of metabolic processes. In the presented study, the hematological status of rainbow trout was studied in the conditions of the fisheries of the Republic of Karelia. The study was conducted in the summer in 4 age groups. During the research, it was revealed that the age of trout significantly affects the biochemical blood levels studied. As a result of the research, it was revealed that in the studied animals with age there is a significant increase in such biochemical parameters as ALT, Total protein, albumin, and urea. Thus, during the monitoring of the biochemical status of rainbow trout under aquaculture conditions, it was found that the condition of the fish’s body worsens with age, which is reflected in the biochemical parameters of the blood, such as total protein, albumin, and urea. In this case, green microalgae Chlorella can act as a natural adaptogen that normalizes blood biochemical parameters due to the high content of available carotenoids.

To study the vascularization of the heart of the studied animals, classical and modern anatomical techniques were carried out, such as fine anatomical dissection and the production of corrosive preparations using latex. As a result of the study, it was established that the brown bear has a predominantly left coronal type of blood supply, since in four individuals the left coronary artery vascularized the area of the paraconal groove, subsinus groove and interventricular septum. But at the same time, it can also be assumed that a brown bear may have a uniform type of blood supply to the heart, due to the fact that in two individuals the subsinus groove was supplied with blood by the right coronary artery.","PeriodicalId":14419,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"190 1‐2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138997185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The object of the study is the oviduct of a Highsex white cross chicken at the age of 180 days. For histological examination, the material was fixed in a 10% aqueous solution of neutral formaldehyde, followed by embedding in paraffin. The research materials were subjected to statistical processing using the STATISTICA 6.1 program. As a result of our research, we noted that the isthmus of the oviduct is located between the albumen section and the bird's uterus and has a small diameter, representing a narrow strip of tissue (translucent zone) with the presence of tubular glands. The mucous membrane of the isthmus is lined with multirow ciliated epithelium. Between the primary folds there are deep crypts, which with their base are embedded deep into the lamina propria; they contain many branched glands that open into ducts onto the surface of the mucous membrane. In the subepithelial layer of the lamina propria, fibers of loose connective tissue are located, tightly surrounding the branched tubular glands. The mucous membrane of the isthmus occupies 59.74% of the total thickness of the isthmus. Muscular membrane – 29.16%. While the serous membrane accounts for 11.1% of the total thickness of the isthmus wall. The mucous membrane of the isthmus, due to the active secretory function of the glands, is 2 times the thickness of the muscular layer.","PeriodicalId":14419,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"82 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AMH plays an important role in the regulation of reproductive function in animals, including cows. High levels of AMH may indicate a good reserve capacity of the ovaries, which may be useful when choosing animals for breeding. In the presented study, the bio-chemical parameters of the blood of 9 Holstein cows in the luteal phase were analyzed. A direct correlation of a high degree (0.89 and 0.89, respectively) was found between the AMH level indicator and urea and urea nitrogen indicators. There was a direct noticeable correlation between the AMH level and the serum creatinine level (0.63). Also, when assessing the indicators of mineral metabolism, strong correlations were revealed: negative when comparing the level of AMH with the level of calcium (-0.71) and positive when comparing the level of AMH with the level of phosphorus (0.78). The regulation of the synthesis of AMH itself and its metabolic effects have been studied little, there is only a limited amount of data on the relationship of the hormone with other factors of autocrine and paracrine regulation.

Methods of fine macro- and microanatomic dissection of the lynx's left pelvic limb were used. At the same time, a functional analysis of the studied structures and skeletotopic projection of muscles, fascia and fascial nodes were carried out.

This task will not be achievable without the use of digital intelligent production control and management systems, tracking the health of animals and their productivity. There are many systems that integrate into production and allow you to monitor the health of cows on a dairy farm. These systems are based on the identification, tracking and collection of information about the physiological state of animals through various sensors. However, all these systems are expensive, demanding to maintain, often fail due to aggressive operating conditions. The article considers the possibility of using an intelligent video monitoring system to analyze the physiological state of cows and predict its changes. To substantiate the requirements for an intelligent video monitoring system of the physiological state of cows, a mathematical model of the life of productive cows in the form of a graph of states is proposed. This method graphically displays the possible states of the system and their possible transitions from state to state. Having constructed a graph of states, relying on the central probability theorem for event flows, it is possible to determine the probability and intensity of state transitions using differential equations. For the functioning of the video monitoring system for analyzing the physiological state of cows and predicting its changes, the proposed mathematical model can be the basis of the system and be based on the collection and analysis of video information about animal behavior. When covering the entire territory of the animal's living space with video cameras, the intelligent video monitoring system will be able to provide early diagnosis of changes in the physiological state of the observed animals and issue a warning, which will allow for timely therapeutic and preventive measures.","PeriodicalId":14419,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"77 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139004462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
