The results of preclinical studies of the new ferrodextran preparation “Ferosel T”, which contains ferrum and selenium, are presented. It has been established that at oral administration of ferrocellus T in a prophylactic dose of 2 ml/kg b.w. and the therapeutic dose of 4 ml/kg for 3 days in a row in the stomach of laboratory rats did not show toxic effects. No toxic effect of T ferrocellus is established at introducing it into the stomach in doses in 3 and 10 times higher than the therapeutic ones. Under conditions of subcutaneous administration of the drug, the death of white rats was not observed, only short-term inhibition of laboratory animals, which was prescribed the drug in a dose of 10 ml/kg b.w. It was established that in the preventive and optimal therapeutic doses the drug did not affect the detoxification function of the liver. In rats, which ferrocellus T was administered at maximum therapeutic and possibly toxic doses, the duration of hexenal sleep was for 32 and 35% higher relative to control values. The investigation of the emotional and behavioral reactions of laboratory animals after administration of ferrocellus T for 21 days in therapeutic and maximum therapeutic doses did not show a significant effect on the nervous system. In terms of hyperemia and swelling of the skin and the thickness of the skin, ferrocellus T in prophylactic and therapeutic doses upon application to rabbit skin did not cause local irritation. Separate injection of the drug “Ferosel T” by sub-planar way to guinea pigs in 0.1 ml. did not cause swollen reactions of the paws. As a result of the conducted research, no allergenic properties of the drug “Ferosel T” were found. In laboratory rats, which were introduced ferrosel T in the prophylactic dose of probable changes in the weight of the heart, liver, spleen and kidneys is not established. In rats, which were administered ferrocellus T in an optimal therapeutic dose, in comparison with control weights of the spleen and liver, respectively, was in 10.3 and 6.4% higher. When introducing ferrocellus T at the maximum therapeutic dose, the mass of the spleen and liver was in 14.0 and 15.0% higher, respectively. The results of the studies indicate that the drug “Ferosel T” is safe when used for the prevention and treatment of animals.

Intramuscular injection of 50% tetrachloromethane to rats at a dose of 0.25 ml per 100 g of body weight causes antigenic load on the body and leads to disruption of physiologic level of hematological indices of experimental animal organisms. This indicates the number reduce of red blood cells, hemoglobin content, hemoglobin concentration in erythrocyte, increasing the number of leukocytes, mass of hemoglobin in erythrocyte and increased of color index.

<p><span>The article presents the results of investigation of the impact of stress on oxidative intensity of lipid per oxidation. It was proved that intramuscular injection of 50% solution of tetrachloromethane at a dose of 0.25 mL per 100 g of rat body causes the activation of free radical lipid oxidation with excessive accumulation of intermediate and final products of lipid peroxidation. Our results indicate that the development of oxidative stress leads to the significant acceleration of the formation and accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides and malondialdehyde (MDA) in plasma of rats. We registered the highest level of lipid hydroperoxides in rat blood plasma under oxidative stress on the second day of the experiment; it was 0.843 un/mL, whereas this index was 0.245 un/mL in the control group. We also revealed that the content of malondialdehyde was the highest in the experimental group on the fifth day of the experiment; it was almost 2 times higher than in control group.</span></p><p><span>We could recommend to apply the liposomal drug "Butaselmevit" which contains butafosfan, selenium, methionine, milk thistle, and vitamins for the inhibition of lipid peroxidation under the development of oxidative stress. It was proved that the parenteral injection of liposomal drug "Butaselmevit" to the rats for the development of oxidative stress leads to a reduction of peroxidation products level in their plasma.

The purpose of this search was to investigate the influence of “Thireomagnile” and “Thyrioton” on the antioxidant status of cows in the development of endotoxicosis. The experimental part of the work was performed at the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology of Stepan Gzhytskyj Lviv National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies, in the laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology of the State Scientific Research Institute of Veterinary Preparation and Feed Additives (Lviv) and in the Ltd. “Barkom”, village Yampil of Pustomyty district, Lviv region. To solve the tasks of the research, three experimental groups of 10 pregnant cows of the Ukrainian Black-Spotted Dairy breed were formed in each: control and two experimental. Cows of the control group (K) had characteristic clinical signs of endotoxicosis. Animals of the first experimental group (E1) were given 10 mL per animal of “Thyroid magnet” at the eighth and ninth months of gestation. The animals of the second experimental group (E2) were given Thyrioton at a dose of 10 mL per animal in the eighth and ninth months of gestation. As a result of the conducted researches it is found out that in pregnant cows with clinical manifestation of endotoxicosis the inhibition of the activity of the antioxidant protection system and intensification of processes of lipid peroxidation occurs. The use of “Thireomagnile” and “Thyrioton” in cows by the development of endotoxicosis contributed to the increased activity of the antioxidant system, which is indicated by an increase in the activity of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The use of of “Thireomagnile” and “Thyrioton” to cows in the development of endotoxicosis contributed to the suppression of lipid peroxidation processes, which is indicated by the low level of primary and final products of lipid peroxidation, namely: lipid hydroperoxides and TBA-active products. Better normalizing action on the equilibrium on the activity of the antioxidant system and the intensity of lipid peroxidation was shown by the introduction of “Thyroid magnet” at a dose of 10 cm3 per animal.

The study was conducted on honey bees of the Carpathian breed on the basis of the apiary of S. Z. Gzhytskyi Lviv National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies. The bees were kept in 8-frame beehives with size of the frame of 435 × 300 mm. The study was undertaken in the summer-autumn period. A total of 5 groups of bee families were formed according to the analogue principle, with three families of bees in each group. Control (I) group received sugar syrup in 1 : 1 concentration (1000 mL/group/week). In the experimental (II) group, Ag was added to the syrup in amount of 0.5 mL/g of the sugar syrup; in III experimental group – in similar conditions Ag was added in 1 mg/L amount; IV group received sugar syrup with Cu in 0.5 mg/L amount; V experimental group – Cu in amount of 1 mg/L of sugar syrup. Microelements were added to sugar syrup in the form of citrates obtained using method of nanotechnology, developed by the company Nanomaterials and Nanotechnologies in Kyiv. The period of monitoring lasted 28 days with 7 days interval of preparation. Inter-group and anatomic differences were found in content of certain mineral elements in the tissues of the head, thorax and abdominal sections of the honey bees in conditions of feeding with citrates of argentum and cuprum in sugar syrups. Under the influence of citrate of argentum in amount of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L of sugar syrup, content of ferrum increased in the tissues of the head and abdominal sections, though it decreased in the thorax, content of cuprum decreased in the tissues of head, thorax and abdomen, content of zinc increased in the tissues of head and thorax, though it decreased in the abdomen, content of lead and cadmium reduced in the tissues of all anatomic sections of the organism of honey bees. Under the influence of cuprum in amount of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L of sugar syrup, content of ferrum reduced in the tissues of the head, though it increased in the tissues of thorax and abdomen, content of cuprum increased, and the content of zinc, lead and cadmium reduced in the tissues of all anatomic sections of honey bees. According to the results of the study, the determining effect of feeding of honey bees on the optimization of the parameters of mineral metabolism in different anatomic sections of the organism of bees is discussed.

The results of research on the influence of the elaborated complex immunotropic drug containing butafosfan, interferon, thistle and fat-soluble vitamins A, D3, E in the form of a liposomal emulsion on the activity of T-and B-cell chains of immunity in rats under the conditions of action on the body of oxidative stress are presented. It has been established that the introduction of 50% tetrachloromethane into the rats of the first and second experimental groups, with a dose of 0.25 ml per 100 g of body weight, causes oxidative stress in them which negatively affects the cellular immunity and functional activity of immunocompetent blood cells. Immunosuppressive effects of oxidative stress were manifested by a decrease in the blood of rats in the first and second experimental groups of the number of T-and B-lymphocytes and their regulatory subpopulations mainly on the 2nd and 5th day of the study. At the same time, in the blood of rats of the first experimental group in all research periods a decrease in the relative number of common, active and theophylline-resistant T-lymphocytes, as well as Blymphocytes was observed with a noticeable increase in the number of their undifferentiated forms. At the same time, the obtained data suggest the positive effect of butafosfan, interferon, thistle and vitamins A, D3, E in the liposomal preparation on the relative amount of T-and B-lymphocytes and on the redistribution of avidity in the direction of strengthening the receptor field of plasma membranes immunocompetent cells. It was found that the normalization on the 2nd day of blood level in the second experimental group of common T-lymphocytes occurred due to the secondary forms of the blood and active Tlymphocytes by changes in the number of low-avid forms. In addition to the indicators characterizing the cellular immunity of rats, the components of the liposomal preparation showed regulatory influence on the humoral link of the immune response. In particular, on the 10th day of research in blood of rats of the second experimental group a tendency towards an increase in the relative number of B-lymphocytes and an increase in the number of cells with low and medium density of receptors was found, which, under the conditions of oxidative stress, indicates an increase in the body's ability to actively synthesize protective antibodies.

The article presents the results of studies of fattening and meat qualities of young white pigs of different white breeds of different intensity of formation (Δt) in early ontogeny, biochemical parameters of blood serum (aspartate aminotransferase activity, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline transferase, alkaline phosphatase. It is established that according to the main indicators of fattening and meat qualities (age of reaching live weight of 100 kg, days; thickness of the sleeve at the level of 6-7 thoracic vertebrae, mm; length of chilled carcass, mm) young pigs of the controlled herd belong to the first class and class elite, and serum biochemical parameters are consistent with the physiological norm of clinically healthy animals. Taking into account the class of distribution by intensity of formation (Δt), a significant difference was established between animals of I (Δt = 0.795–0.832) and III (Δt = 0.660–0.703) groups on the average daily gain of live weight and age of reaching live weight of 100 kg. The relationship between the biochemical parameters of serum, fattening and meat characteristics of young pigs ranges from -0.250 to +0.385 and is unlikely. We offer in breeding and breeding work, along with the traditional methods of evaluation and selection of high-yielding animals use the method of evaluation and breeding indices.
