That is why the work aimed to investigate the indicators of the antioxidant system in young cattle under conditions of cadmium loading. For research, 15 clinically healthy six-month-old bulls of the black and spotted breed were selected, from which 3 groups of five animals were formed. The animals in the control group were on a regular diet. The animals of the experimental groups with compound feed were fed cadmium chloride in doses of 0.03 and 0.05 mg/kg of body weight. Feeding young cattle with cadmium chloride feed caused a decrease in the activity of the enzyme system of antioxidant protection of their body. These changes are confirmed by a decrease in their blood activity of superoxide dismutase by 31 %, catalase by 13.4 %, glutathione peroxidase by 23.2 %, glutathione reductase by 22.2 %, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase by 32.4 %, respectively. A decrease in the level of indicators of the non-enzymatic link of the system of antioxidant protection of the body of young cattle under cadmium load was also established, where, accordingly, a decrease in the content of reduced glutathione was established – by 10.4 %, selenium – by 14.8 %, vitamin A – by 31.3%, of vitamin E – by 30.8% in their blood compared to the control. It is worth noting that on the sixteenth and twenty-fourth days of the experiment, the lowest value of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic links of the antioxidant protection systems of young cattle under conditions of cadmium loading was observed. In the future, a practical scheme for preventing cadmium toxicosis in young cattle by studying indicators of the antioxidant system is planned.","PeriodicalId":21703,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Messenger of LNU of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139342579","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}

Therefore, in recent years, a number of investigations have been conducted to study the effectiveness of using organic trace elements in animal and poultry feed. The article deals with the results of a scientific and economic experiment on the investigation of the influence of domestically produced zinc proteinate in combination with zinc sulfate on indicators of preservation, growth intensity and feed conversion in broiler chickens. Broiler chickens of the control group were fed with a complete ration balanced in terms of necessary nutrients, in accordance with the age periods of the growth of the poultry, with the addition of 50 g per ton of zinc sulfate. Then, the broiler chickens of the research groups were received the same compound feed, but with the addition of 50 g and 30 g per ton of zinc proteinate compound feed. The live weight of broiler chickens of the research groups was significantly higher than the control. At the age of one week, it tended to increase in the chickens of the 2nd and 3rd research groups, and at the age of 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days, the live weight of the chickens of the 3rd research group exceeded the live weight of the poultry of the control group, respectively , by 15.8 g (Р < 0.05); 37.0 (P < 0.01); 96.8 (P < 0.05); 115.9 (P < 0.01) and 177.7 g (P < 0.05), or by 4.7 %, 4.6, 7.6, 6.5 and 7.1 %, while the chickens of the 2nd research group at this time exceeded the control group chickens in terms of live weight, but were slightly behind the peers of the 3rd research group. The researched doses of zinc proteinate contributed to the increase in the preservation of poultry stock by 4–5 %, the average daily weight gain of broilers in the research groups compared to the control, respectively, by 5.1–7.2 %. The European index of efficiency of broiler chickens growing for zinc proteinate feeding was increased by 48.4 and 76.7 units compared to the control group which were fed with zinc sulfate and at the same time feed costs per 1 kg of growth was decreased by 2.4–3.2 %.","PeriodicalId":21703,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Messenger of LNU of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies","volume":"276 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139342591","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}

Zootechnical, clinical-biochemical, biometric research methods were used. The research results showed that after shearing, stress in sheep of the first and second groups was clinically manifested by general depression, accelerated heartbeat and breathing. Such differences in the frequency of heart contractions and the number of respiratory movements in ewes can be explained by increased excitability of the nervous system due to shearing. The number of erythrocytes and leukocytes in the blood of sheep of both experimental groups before and after shearing was normal and did not go beyond physiological fluctuations. A slight decrease in blood parameters was detected in ewes of the first and second groups one and five days after the hygienic procedure. No significant difference in the number of erythrocytes and leukocytes was found between the experimental groups. Under the influence of stress factors, the content of total protein in blood serum decreased in ewes, especially one day after shearing in the experimental groups. After exposure to stressors, a decrease in urea content was detected in all experimental animals after one day and on the fifth day, which is due to the fact that under the influence of stress in the body, the breakdown of proteins and, accordingly, the level of the end products of protein metabolism decreases. As a result of shearing after a day, the cholesterol content in the blood of experimental sheep of the first and second groups probably decreased, with a slight tendency to increase after the fifth day. After exposure to stressors, the total lipid content of ewes of the first and second groups probably decreased on the first day, and a significant increase was observed on the fifth day. When the body is under stress, energy is wasted. He receives part of it at the expense of fats, which is why the content of total lipids in the blood of experimental animals decreases a day after a haircut. After shearing, the blood glucose content of all ewes increased, especially with a high probability in experimental animals after the first day, which is a consequence of the breakdown of increased glycogen. This indicates that these sheep had a stronger state of stress. After the fifth day, in the experimental ewes of the first and second groups after shearing, all the investigated indicators probably did not differ from those obtained before their shearing.","PeriodicalId":21703,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Messenger of LNU of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies","volume":"162 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139342337","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}

Pavliv","doi":"10.32718/nvlvet-a9915","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32718/nvlvet-a9915","url":null,"abstract":"The article presents the results of ecological soil monitoring on the territories adjacent to agricultural storage facilities used for storing agrochemical plant protection products in the village of Vyshnivchyk, Ternopil region. The article is based on the study of the ecological monitoring of soil conditions on the territories adjacent to the areas where agrochemical plant protection products are stored. In most cases, these areas do not meet environmental and sanitary standards, posing a potential threat to the environment and the community's health. Inadequate storage conditions, which do not comply with the existing standards, release toxic residues from unused agrochemicals into the soil, water sources, and the air. Consequently, there is a risk of poisoning for both humans and animals. This study also includes an analysis of the composition of agrochemical substances from previous years on the territory of Vyshnivchyk village, Ternopil region (the territory of 'Denys K' Farm). A sheltered storage space near the village of Vyshnivchyk has been operating for more than 30 years. It was constructed in 1978 according to the standards of that time. Both bulk and liquid chemicals have been discharged into the quarry. The problem is further complicated because the landfill has no owner. It is unknown which specific toxic chemicals are present in the abandoned landfill. According to the accompanying documents, 465 tons of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), over 200 tons of hexachlorane, and 7 tons of mercury and arsenic substances have been accumulated there. According to the results of the conducted agrochemical survey, the soil is characterized by a weakly acidic reaction (soil type – leached chernozem (black soil), coarse-silty, light-loamy, soil pH = 5.9; humus content – 3.6 %). Due to wind and water diffusion (pollutant dispersion up to 30 meters from the storage was detected), agrochemicals near the storage facility had the following content: 2,4-D amine salt (0.35), simazine (0.01–0.05 mg/kg), HCH (0.02-0.14), DDT (0.03–0.10), no detected methaphos, but present in the composition (0.19), no detected trichlorfon, but present in the composition (0.10) mg/kg. The productivity and stability of the ecosystems are significantly disrupted within a radius of up to 50 meters from the storage facility site, which hurts the biogeochemical cycling of substances. Therefore, the low presence of plant protection chemical residues near the storage facility in the village of Vyshnivchyk can be attributed to the fact that these pesticides were initially stored in the adjusted facility. However, over time (since the warehouse was established in 1978, and the containers have deteriorated), they have migrated into the soil beyond the storage area.","PeriodicalId":21703,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Messenger of LNU of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139342351","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}

Scientific and economic experiments were conducted in Odesa Oblast according to the methods generally accepted in dairy farming, and laboratory studies of corn silage, alfalfa haylage, rye silage samples in a specialized laboratory for forage research using the NIRS technique were used to assess the quality of forages. NIRS has been successfully used in the prediction of nutritional value through direct scanning of forage samples. The analysis of corn silage shows that the basic indicators of its quality, such as dry matter content, metabolizable energy concentration, pH, level of digestibility of organic matter as a percentage of total dry matter, and starch content are below the existing standards, because due to hot weather conditions, silage is often forced to be harvested during the suboptimal phase of its maturity. An assessment of the mineral composition of corn, rye and alfalfa silage shows that the indicators are typical, taking into account the specifics of each crop in the southern region of Ukraine, so the existing deficit of manganese, cobalt, zinc and copper can be covered with the use of specialized premixes. Due to the difficulties of agrotechnical cultivation of corn silage and alfalfa haylage, which has recently developed in the risky land use zone of southern Ukraine and against the background of global warming, fodder crops have to be grown in more favorable (wet) seasons of the year, such as winter rye or triticale, etc. or their combination with corn silage and alfalfa haylage.","PeriodicalId":21703,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Messenger of LNU of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139342305","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}
