This virus has been isolated from numerous representatives of the feline family, European mink, ferret, raccoon dog, domestic dog, a number of primates and a number of other animals. In most susceptible animals, infection with this virus is manifested by certain clinical symptoms, the intensity of which depends on the type and age of the animals, on the presence of concomitant diseases. The pathological process can end in death with the development of characteristic pathoanatomical and histological changes. According to the results of preliminary studies conducted in the Republic of Belarus, the circulation of SARS-CoV-2 was detected in domestic cats. All the animals had a history of contact with COVID-19-infected owners. The aim of this work was to determine the features of clinical and pathoanatomical manifestations, histological changes in domestic cats infected with SARS-CoV-2. The studies were conducted among various sex and age groups of domestic cats. In total, we conducted a study of 300 flushes from various sexes and ages and pedigreed, autopsy of 10 corpses. The work was carried out in the Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine, the Vitebsk Regional Veterinary Laboratory, the RSPC \"Epidemiology and Microbiology\" in Minsk, in the Belarusian State Veterinary Center. The circulation of SARS-CoV-2 in animals was determined by polymerase chain reaction (RT - PCR). When dissecting the corpses of animals, the nature and severity of pathomorphological changes were taken into account, a pathoanatomical diagnosis was made, and macrophotography was performed in natural light. The main clinical symptoms of the disease in adult animals are depression, refusal to feed, cough, shortness of breath; in young animals, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, diarrhea are often observed. When dissecting dead animals, macro-changes and micro-changes in organs and tissues are noted, indicating the development of pathological processes, both in the acute course of the disease and in the chronic one. Thus, the conducted studies and the results obtained confirmed and supplemented the data of world researchers, made it possible to determine the leading clinical symptoms of the disease and pathoanatomical changes in the domestic cat when infected with SARS-CoV-2. The obtained data of histological changes allowed a deeper and more detailed assessment and study of the pathogenesis of the disease, which will contribute to a rational approach in choosing the means of therapy of this disease.\u0000Key words: cats, coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, clinical symptoms, pathoanatomical changes, histological examination.","PeriodicalId":34230,"journal":{"name":"Naukovii visnik veterinarnoyi meditsini","volume":"1 1","pages":"79-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69583231","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}

In order to provide expert advice, these services must always be backed up by quality data and accurate statistical analysis. It would give clear instructions on how to interpret the results obtained when processing them, and show directions for improving disease prevention. Currently, there are problems related to improving the control of infectious diseases in bees, as various natural and anthropogenic factors have a multidirectional effect on the economic performance of beekeeping. There are also concerns about the control of infectious animal and insect diseases, which is a multifaceted series of causes due to natural and anthropogenic factors that have a polyvector effect on the economic performance of beekeeping. Therefore, the experimental application of different types of correlation and regression analysis in this industry by constructing pairwise and multivariate dependencies and their statistical interpretation was the aim of the paper. The correlation and regression model under study contains four sets of characteristics: result variable (y) - the amount of honey from 20 different apiaries in one season and factor variables: x1 - air temperature in the apiaries; x2 - amount of probiotic \"Enteronormin Iodis + Se\" to stimulate the immune system as one of the preventive methods; x3 - number of beehives in each apiary. Linear proportional relationships between apiary productivity and the factors included in the regression model are obtained. According to the results of the correlation-regression analysis, paired correlation coefficients showed that the relationship between air temperature in the apiary and produced honey is medium connection (r1 = 0,666), the relationship between the amount of probiotic applied per frame and produced honey is tight (close) connection (r2 = 0,813), the relationship between the number of beehives and produced honey is medium connection (r3 = 0,633). The regression coefficients show how the amount of honey produced in an apiary changes when each factor changes by one, with the other factors in the equation fixed. So, raising the temperature by 1 °C increases the honey production by 216 kg in each apiary, while increasing the concentration of \"Enteronormin Iodis + Se\" by 1 cm3 per beehive frame increases the nectar production by 1,12 kg for one hive. The coefficient of multiple determination (R2 = 0,954163) identifies a close relationship in the model created (95% of the factors investigated determine apiary performance). Therefore, modelling in the form of linear and multiple correlation and regression analysis is feasible in beekeeping.\u0000Key words: beekeeping, modeling, system analysis, factor and result characteristics.","PeriodicalId":34230,"journal":{"name":"Naukovii visnik veterinarnoyi meditsini","volume":"1 1","pages":"58-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47424110","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 proposed treatment regimens do not provide the desired results, there is a steady trend to increase the number of small pets with breast tumors. Therefore, it is important to find alternative treatments for dogs with breast neoplasms, among which, first of all, should be noted the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which cause a positive effect by inhibiting the expression of cyclooxygenase-2, activating apoptosis and inhibiting cancer cell migration. Potentially effective therapeutic methods are electroporation and electrochemotherapy, which can significantly increase the concentration of chemotherapeutic agents in cancer cells against the background of minimal toxicity to healthy tissues. The important role of hypercoagulation in the mechanisms of development and progression of breast tumors in dogs justifies the use of antithrombotic therapy in cancer patients, especially low molecular weight heparins, which can improve the effectiveness of therapeutic protocols and prevent tumor metastasis. It is shown that these methods as part of complex treatment regimens increase the effectiveness of conventional protocols of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as surgery.

To prevent the development of infection, it is necessary to control air pollution and equipment in hatcheries; determine the safety indicators of feed and water (the level of their mycological contamination) in poultry houses; monitor the status of feed storage facilities and water supply systems. According to the results of our research, in 15.1% of dead chickens at the age of 3 to 5 days and 6.6% at the age of 7-10 days, according to the results of mycological examination of pathological material, the diagnosis of aspergillosis was established. Aspergillus flavus (47%) Aspergillus fumigatus (34.5%), Aspergillus niger (10%) were isolated from the lungs of dead chickens. Macroscopically revealed edema and hyperemia of the lungs in chickens of 3-5 days of age. The formation of granulomas in the lungs and serous membranes was not detected, which may indicate an acute form of the pathological process. Chickens 7-10 days old showed a strong thickening of the air sacs, lungs with multiple spherical granulomas up to 2 mm in diameter. Spores of fungi entering the lungs cause a local inflammatory reaction - acute pneumonia. Histologically, in chickens of 3-5 days of age, a thickening of the parabronchial wall due to hyperplasia of local lymphoid formations (providing local immunity), signs of the development of interstitial pneumonia were revealed. Pathognomonic signs were found in the parenchyma - the formation of giant multinucleated cells, which is a characteristic sign of mycotic infections in poultry. The fusion of local pulmonary macrophages, histiocytes, into multinucleated cells is a prerequisite for the formation of granulomas, being a specific immune response in birds to the penetration of a pathogen. According to the development of the infectious process, caseous granulomas and fungal hyphae can be detected microscopically in the lungs. According to the results of histological examination, the formation of mycotic granulomas was found in the lung parenchyma in 7-10 days old chickens, which was accompanied by the formation of a zone of coagulation necrosis, in which the fungal hyphae were found. On the periphery, giant multinucleated epithelioid cells are located, the detection of which by histological examination is the basis for suspecting bird infection with microscopic fungi.

We have proved the prognostic importance of fertilization of the morphofunctional state of the vulva and the vagina and the quality of mucus in sheep breeds during estrus. The material of the study was 327 sheep of ascanian breeding, which during the sexual intercourse before insemination examined the vulva, vagina and evaluated the estrus slime (number, color, consistency, presence of impurities, elasticity, electrical resistance, type of crystallization, protein content). The results of ultrasound diagnosis of pregnancy were determined by the fertility of sheep with different integral compositions of clinical and laboratory parameters.\u0000It has been established that in sheep, in which fertility in the first sexual cycle reached 65.1%, most often found a pink, moderately edematous vulva with clear mucus. In females with pale mucous membrane and insignificant amount of mucus, the effectiveness of inseminates declined to 53.3-58.0%. In a significant amount of estral mucus, the proportion of infertile animals increased twofold. At the same time, the selection of liquid, but cloudy, or thick mucus is a sign of an unfavorable prognosis, in which fertility decreases by 1.8-2.1 times (p <0.001). Dense, white, paste-like isolates were observed in a small number of sheep, mostly bright at the beginning of the anestral season. Low fertility in the first sexual hunting (35.5%) and a high multiplicity of repeated inseminations (29.0%) indicate that sheep with thick estral slime are only beginning to enter the sexual season, and this quality of secrecy indicates an inadequate estrogenization of the body.\u0000It was also found that in the infertile sheep during sexual hunting, the protein content of cervical mucus was 4.8 times higher, and the elasticity of mucus was reduced by 2.9 times. The most prevalent was the prognosis of average fertilization (53.3-58.0%), which was recorded in 62.9% of experimental sheep. The prognosis of high fertilization, which resulted in 62.5-65.1% of oseminins, was found in 27.8% of females. At the same time, the number of females with a fertility forecast at 40% was only 3.1%, and the prevalence of an unfavorable prognosis, in which fertility was the smallest (30.0-35.5%), reached 6.2%.\u0000Key words: sheep, askanian breeding, estrus, fertility prognosis, estral mucus, vulva, vagina, artificial insemination.","PeriodicalId":34230,"journal":{"name":"Naukovii visnik veterinarnoyi meditsini","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47100030","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 known that the foot diseases in the cows are quite common. In particular, the damage to the digit horn occurs almost on all dairy farms with a level of distribution from 5 to 23 % of cows.\u0000The research was conducted on high-yield milked cows with a productivity of 6-8 thousand liters per lactation.Cows with ulcerous soles, which were diagnosed during 6 months period, were randomly assigned into two groups, control and experimental. To all animals with sole alcers there were applied functional orthopedic treatment of all digits. The destroyed horn and necrotic tissues in the area of ulcers were removed and defect zone was treated with antiseptics. Subsequently, the animals of the control group imposed bandages with Hoofgel, every three days, 4-6 times until complete wound epithelization. For the cows of the experimental group additionally there was used a wooden block for the adjacent healthy digit.\u0000The Technobase 8000 set was used for wooden block application.\u0000The essence of treatment of cows with lameness and ulcers is associated with the use of a wooden block on the unharmed hoof. Steps to apply correctly the hedge block include the following. First, proper functional trimming and therapeutic treatment for both claws. Second, mechanical antiseptic processing to ensure normal adhesion of the wooden block and comfort for the animal. Removal of dirt and dumpness of the claw that is going to be blockaged.\u0000The tried step is selecting the appropriate size of the block. The correct size of the block depends on the size of the hoof. Blocks should cover the hoof sufficiently from the hook to the pulp. A wider blade should be evenly spaced that would provide greater stability. In most cases, there is a greater potential for damage when a used block is too short or too long. The block of the appropriate size should go beyond the surface of the digit pulp. In most cases, the length of the block is from 13.3 to 16.2 cm. The block, which is too long, can lead to a primary damage to a healthy hoof because of the excessive load on it.\u0000The thickness of the block is determined by the rate of wear created by the amount of cows movement, and the time necessary for the infection development. Cows with severe lesions may require additional thickness of the block for a long period of application and protection from subsequent exposure. For more severe damage, the most durable type of block is required. A less durable unit will not provide sufficient weight transfer from the affected digit for the required period of time to ensure complete healing of the sole.\u0000\u0000The forth step is preparation of glue for blocking. For this purpose, in a measuring cup, which comes with a set, add 80 g (70-75 g) of powdered substance and add 40 ml of solution, which is also measured with a glass that is included in the set. They are mixed to form a homogeneous paste/ One should ","PeriodicalId":34230,"journal":{"name":"Naukovii visnik veterinarnoyi meditsini","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49415918","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}
