Research on green area in Ulan-Ude has not been carried out since the moment of planting in 1970. The researchers didn’t study hardy-shrub species and factors of their strengthening and weakening. The research aims at evaluation of green areas in the mini-parks of UlanUde. The authors assess green areas in all mini-parks of the city and define species composition of hardy-shrub species and their condition. The researchers found out 23 species of trees and shrubs used in landscaping of Ulan-Ude. The identified species belong to 12 families and 23 genera. The largest number of species belongs to Rosaceae-7 species, the smallest number of hardy-shrub species belong to Cornaceae, Adoxaceae, Oleaceae and Ulmaceae. The researchers observed hardy-shrub species and found out that trees predominate (56.3%) the shrubs (43.5 %). Dominating tree species in the mini-parks are the balsamifera (L.) and Ulmus pumila (L.). The bushes commonly observed are Caragana arborescens (Lam.). The vital state of tree and shrubbery plantings is generally characterized as medium-stable, damaged, ranging from stable, healthy to unstable, severely damaged. The range of tree and shrubbery plantings used in gardening of Ulan-Ude is completed. The conducted research revealed that the main factors of lower resistance of green area in the city mini parks are seen as damaged development of the crown and drying of branches, mechanical damages of a trunk; stripping of bark and small deformations and cracks in a trunk, damages in axial escape and the crown related to high density of landings, curvature of a trunk and break of boughs of trees and bushes as a result of influence of wind or anthropogenic activity; careless attitude to requirements of cutting trees and bushes; twisting of leaves, modification of shoots, colorful Gauls due to attacks on them aphids; the presence of bacterial diseases in balsamic poplar; infectious pathologies of trunks and leaves.

The paper explores organomineral additives Tourmax (which includes not only main mineral components, but metabolic products of rhizosphere microorganisms) when cultivating Nevsky potatoes in the periods which differ in weather conditions on gray forest soil. The experiment included control, single spraying of potato with Tourmax on shoots and during budding and double spraying of plants on shoots and in the budding phase. The results showed that spraying vegetative parts of potato plants with Tourmax (single treatment or during budding, as well as a double treatment and before flowering) despite different weather conditions, influenced significantly the potato yield. The authors found out there was a significant effect caused by Tourmax on reducing fungal and bacterial infections for two years with double treatment of vegetative organs. Application of a new organomineral fertilizer Tourmax shows positive effect of the specimen not only on potato yield, but it reduces fungal and bacterial infections in years with different weather conditions. The paper describes the most effective way to double spraying potatoes during the season on shoots and during budding.

Efficiency of industrial use of agricultural crops is determined by economic parameters of varieties and technologies of their cultivation. The paper determines appropriate seeding rates and planting methods for meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) of pasture and lawn Quart variety. These rates and methods contribute to better structure of seed grass for maximum yield on sod-podzolic soils in the central part of Russia. The authors found out that sowing from 4 to 16 kg/ ha of oatmeal seeds with a row spacing of 15 and 30 cm results in the shoots equal to 59 to 69 %. In this case, the authors observed inverse pattern of reducing the value of the index of shoots with increased seeding rate and row spacing. Breeding highly productive seed agrophytocenoses with efficient parameters of structure and sowing density (132-254 un /m2) at three-year usage of herbage is recommended to be carried out by means of row planting (15 cm) or skip-row planting (30 cm) with 8-4 sowing rates kg/ha (3,6-1.8 million un/ha of germinating seeds). This results in receiving 429-446 seed yield kg/ha during three years of usage. Most efficient way of initiation highly productive seed grass stands of meadow fescue Quart variety is seen as open sowing. It forms 13% higher number of generative shoots with 14% higher seed content in the first year of undersowing. In the second and third years of application, the influence of nurse crop on the aftereffect on meadow fescue productivity is not observed. Cultivation of meadow fescue with a sub-method is cost-effective. Efficiency of meadow fescue seeds in open sowing is 89 %, when sown under barley it was equal to 82 %. The authors make a case that the way of seed initiation of meadow fescue grass stands and nurse crop in the commercial production of seeds should be based on economic activity of seed breeding enterprises.

The paper explores the effect caused Candidate of Agriculture, Associate Professor by various growth regulators on the process of shoot formation in clonal micropropagation of honeysuckle. Growth regulators contribute to receive higher number of plants and use their genetic potential to higher extent. The authors found out that Dropp and Cytodeff cytokinins when experiencing clonal micro-propagation of blue honeysuckle are more effective than 6-BAP. When adding 0.5 mg/l Cytodeff cytokinin into the nutrient environment of Murasige-Skuga, the length of shoots was observed as highest one. Immunocytophite influences plants resistance to plant diseases and enhances plants growth. The authors didn’t observe any effect caused by immunocytophite on biometric parameters of honeysuckle. The researchers designed the scheme of blue honeysuckle cloning, which allows to obtain the largest number of micro-plants in a short period of time when using cytokinin growth regulators.

The research aims at evaluation of biological and economic efficiency of melilot cultivation in the southern forest-steppe of Novosibirsk region. The research was conducted in 2010 – 2016 by means of conventional methods. The biological effects of melilot in treatment of wheat underground organs from root rot was 13.9-38.8% (average 31.3%) in the beginning of growing season; in the end of the growing season it was 32.1-66% (average 43%) in comparison with recultivation of spring wheat. The pathogenic complex of root rot consisted of B. sorokiniana (18.343%) and Fusarium fungi (63.9-81.7%). The authors found out F. gibbosum, F. sporotrichioides,F. oxysporum, F. avenaceum, F. solani.mong fungi among Fusarium. The research revealed domination of Trichoderma fungi among the antagonistic species. The effect of melilot as a fore crop in increasing spring wheat yield was observed as 31-68,7% (average 44%) with a simultaneous decrease in Bipolaris sorokiniana grain population and Fusarium fungi in 2 times in comparison with re-cultivation of spring wheat. The authors highlight that economic evaluation of melilot cultivation in the southern forest-steppe of Novosibirsk region is 80.7% profitable in case melilot is grown as a fore crop of spring wheat. IThe authors observed reducing grain costs on 53.4 RUB/ hwt compared to recultivation of wheat. Comprehensive economic assessment of melilot cultivation showed higher profitability caused by sale of honey and haylage harvesting.

Cruciferae (Brassicaceae) is one of the most important metasperms. Kale Brassica includes economically important vegetable, forage, oil-bearing, ornamental crops and it is widespread in the world. This is explained by variety of food organs, high yield, environmental plasticity, different ways of food use and valuable biochemical composition. One of the most important ways to improve the efficiency of vegetables is seen as increasing the number of cultivated vegetables and their varietal diversity. The authors speak about necessity to breed new varieties and hybrids of cabbage crops, not represented in the state register, as well as missing types of varieties in order to expand the range of vegetables. The paper points out that cultivation in the Asian part of Russia requires the varieties and hybrids of all cabbage crops that combine high productivity and complex resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors, eco-friendly, high-quality, with a different period of vegetation, including for horticultural use. The authors focus on increasing the nutritional value of vegetables and higher number of biologically active matters for making functional products. It is important and necessary to search within each cabbage for forms that combine productivity, resistance to biotic and abiotic factors when being grown in different environmental and geographical areas with a valuable biochemical composition. This allows to use efficiently cultivated and recommended for cultivation in the Asian part of Russia types and forms of Brassica L. vegetables. It is necessary for dietetic nutrition and raw materials in medical industry. All varieties of cabbage plants are supposed to be significant and reliable basis for improving population health and life expectancy taking into account existing environmental problems in the regions of Asian Russia.

The paper highlights the research conducted in order to assess the effect of different doses of thyme extract on the productive properties and livability of broiler chickens. The experiment was conducted at a broiler poultry farm with a closed production cycle; the experiment assumed the control group and 5 experimental groups where each group contained 37 broilers at floor housing. The broilers of the 1st experimental group were fed with the extract of medicinal plant thyme dosed 2 mg/kg; broilers of the 2nd group received thyme extract dosed 4 mg/kg; 3rd group of broilers – 6 mg/kg, 4th group -8 mg/kg, and the dosage of the thyme extract was 10 mg/kg for broilers in the 5th experimental group. The authors controlled the live weight of broilers in each group by means of individual weighing every 7 days. Using this data the researchers calculated average daily body weight gain, absolute and relative gain; feed consumption was daily calculated. Feed consumption became the basis for calculating feed costs per a kilo of live weight gain. The authors recorded the number of daily fallen chickens. The data on poultry loss was the basis for calculating poultry livability. In order to assess production efficiency, the European productivity index was calculated. The research results indicate the efficiency of thyme extract application in different doses when feeding the broiler. Application of thyme extract in feeding meat poultry allowed to increase productive properties of broilers from experimental groups from 2.3 to 4.7%, reduce feed costs per a kilo by 1.1-8.1%, increase poultry livability on 2.7-8.1% and increase the European productivity index in the experimental groups on 0.2 21.3%.

Root crops of the Cabbage family (radish, turnip, garden radish, Russian turnip) are valuable root vegetable crops widely cultivated in the world. Radish and garden radish belong to botanical species Raphanus sativus L., turnips belong to species Brassica rapa L. subsp. rapa, and Russian turnip to Brassica napobrassica L. The root crops are valuable for high concentration of vitamins B₁, B₂, B₆, PP, C, essential amino acids and essential and mustard oils. The world collection of root plants of Cabbage family is represented by more than 2500 samples of garden radish and radish from 75 countries; 604 samples of turnip from 32 countries, 251 samples of rutabaga from 26 countries. The researchers from Russian Institute of Genetic Plant Resources named after N.I.Vavilov are involved in collecting, preserving and investigating genetic resources of root crops. The collection is being completed by expeditionary surveys, references from breeding institutions in Russia, extracts from foreign genetic banks and commercial acquisitions. The authors focus on the fact that cultivation of root crops in the Asian part of Russia requires varieties of garden radish, radish, turnips and Russian turnip not only with high yield potential, but also well adapted to local conditions, high nutritional value and high concentration of biologically active matters. Breeding of these crops should be aimed at improving their biological and consumer properties. The properties are seen as tasty varieties, ones with nutritional value that are able to keep juiciness of the pulp for a long time and resistant to biotic and abiotic environmental factors.

The paper reveals the data on comparative analysis of broad whitefish Coregonus nasus larvae in the Ob received from natural populations (lower Ob) and from fish, farmed outside their natural habitat. This fish herd was formed from fish brought from the lower Ob basin to the fish farm “Forvat” (Leningrad region), where they were bred during five generations. During a month, the embryos of broad whitefish were incubated in the conditions of Sob fish-breeding plant (Harp village, Yamalo-Nenetsk Autonomous District), then they were placed for breeding into the laboratory of the Institute of Biology of Tyumen State University. The broad whitefish embryos from artificial herd were taken to the laboratory at the stage of eye pigmentation. After hatching, the larvae in both series were found to be chronically intoxicated with phenol 1 (0.001 mg/l), 5 (0.005 mg/l) and 10 (0.01 mg/l) since their transfer to external feeding up to two months of age. The authors observed broad whitefish from artificial herd and found out increased survival rate, higher balance and lower level of hystopathological changes in all variants. Due to low biological parameters of the broad whitefish young stock, their application for stocking natural basins in the conditions of modern anthropogenic impact is not efficient. On the other hand, increased biological and toxicovigilance characteristics are more effective when being applied in the basins with high anthropogenic load with the aim to increase fish productivity.

Given the narrow range of cultivated vegetable plant species in Russia and the worldwide trend of impoverishment of their biochemical composition simultaneously with the globalization of agriculture and food, it is necessary to study process of introduction of a new for Russia plant species and forms for their functional food ingredients content and other parameters. The research carried out in the Central Siberian Botanical garden SB RAS, (Novosibirsk, 54 ° N 83 ° E) explains methodological approaches for introduction of warm-requiring vegetable crops including the creation of initial material and new breed varieties with a set of valuable biochemical, morphobiological traits and consumer qualities. A large collection of plants was used in the study from 1986 to 2017 in greenhouse and outdoor conditions. In order to select plants in Siberia and obtain forecasting assessment, the author proposes to use the list of parameters that take into account the value of biochemical composition, degree of species genetic diversity, duration of growing season, heat demand, productivity, seed production efficiency, fruit storage ability, requirements in seedlings cultivation, resistance to diseases and pests, simplicity and manufacturability of product processing, compliance with the traditional taste preferences of Russians. Using the methods of inter - and intraspecific hybridization and breeding, 19 tomato varieties and 5 varieties of new for Russia crops (cowpea, bitter melon, kiwano and wax gourd) are included into the State Register of Breeding Achievements for cultivation. Their features collections with a complex of valuable morphological and biological and biochemical parameters, including resistance to the most dangerous diseases in the region are supported. The cultivars offered for agricultural production and food industry can become the basis for producing functional food products in Russia.

The paper explores parasitic diseases of calves and young cattle in the Republic of Belarus and finds out that they are mainly revealed as parasitocenosis with great diversity of followers. The agents of gastrointestinal parasitocenosis and the degree of infestation by them are closely related with the age of an animal. Associative parasitosis was observed in calves aged 2 months. The authors designed the composition of complex specimen Viracoccha, which includes modern anticoccidial, anthelmintic, organic acids and tocopherol acetate. This concentration allows to treat animals from parasitic protozoa and helminthes and protect their immune system. When exploring acute and chronic toxicity of new complex specimen Viracoccha, the authors highlight that it does not cause any deviations from the physiological norm in clinical condition in mice and according to GOST 12.1.007-76 Harmful substances belong to the 4th class of hazard (low hazard substances), it does not spoil the skin of laboratory animals and does not have sensitizing (allergenic) ability, it does not cause intoxication and any deviations from the physiological norm in rabbits which receive specimen as preventive specimen and 3 times exceeding dose. The effect of Viracoccha dosed 100 mg/kg of live weight in the associative infestation (Strongyloides+ Eimeria) of calves was 100%.

The article explores hematological and biochemical parameters of blood, dynamics of live weight gain of young cattle of black-and-white breed when being fed feeding of a fodder additive. The experiment was conducted under conditions of dairy complex Priamurye of Tambov district of Amur region in 2017-2018. The researchers arranged experimental groups of calves by means of similar pairs taking into account age, live weight and physiological condition. There were three groups of animals arranged, one control group and two experimental ones. Each group included 10 calves aged 12 months. The conditions of young cattle keeping were similar. The control group calves were fed with basic diet at the farm, the 1st experimental group received iodine, cobalt and selenium in mineral form, whereas the 2nd experimental group received the same elements in helated (organic) form. At the end of the experiment, the coefficients of digestibility of crude protein, crude fat, nitrogen-free extractives and crude fiber were determined on the basis of the data on the amount of nutrients consumed and isolated by animals with feces. When microelements in mineral and helated forms were included in the basic diet of young cattle, microelements in organic form had a positive effect on hematological and biochemical parameters of blood of calves of the 2nd experimental group. Application of elements in organic form in the diets of young cattle increased digestibility coefficients of nutrients. This contributed to live weight gain, average daily and absolute growth of animals in the 2nd experimental group.

Following Russian classification of economic activities, veterinary activities are divided into the following types: activities related to treatment and health control of farm animals; activities related to treatment and health control of domestic animals; activities of veterinary assistants and other personnel; clinical and pathological and other types of diagnostic work in relation to animals; activities of emergency veterinary care for animals. The authors speak about legal regulations in Russia for providers of veterinary services, anti-epizootic and preventive measures. These regulations are fixed at the national level and allow to evaluate the procedures of any veterinary service institution engaged in dealing with veterinary services. According to GOST R 55634-2013 “Services for non-productive animals”. General requirements to the objects of veterinary activity is to “distinguish three types of objects of veterinary activity: veterinary office, veterinary clinic, veterinary hospital (with a hospital for temporary stay of an animal more than a day). The laws regulate the requirements for veterinary facilities, special requirements for engineering systems and equipment, microclimate, minimum requirements for premises and equipment. The legislation provides voluntary certification of veterinary facilities, confirming their compliance with a certain regulation, the validity of the location of the facility and the list of veterinary services provided therein.

The authors highlight that broiler poultry is considered to be one of the most profitable and promising sectors of agriculture. At the same time, industrial technologies experience unsolved problems, such as death of young poultry in the first weeks of life due to the lack of resistible immune system, which is formed by the end of the third week. In this regard, development and application of immune stimulating specimens is a promising direction for stimulation and maintenance of natural poultry resistance and improve its economic parameters. The specimens used should not affect the quality and products safety. The example of such specimen is ImmuGuard; it was tested in the experimental vivarium conditions at the Department of Veterinary and Sanitary Expertise of Livestock Products And Hygiene of Agricultural Animals at the Institute of Veterinary Medicine And Biotechnology of Omsk State Agrarian University. The researchers arranged three experimental groups from Ross broilers on the basis of similarity. 1st experimental group received the specimen dosed 150; second group of broilers -250 g / t of water during 18 days from the date of hatching, and the 3rd group was arranged as a control one. Growth and weight parameters were determined by individual weighing of poultry every seven days. The quality of broilers’ meat was assessed by means of conventional methods used in veterinary and sanitary assessment of poultry meat. The experience showed a positive effect of the specimen on live weight gain of poultry: the authors observed body weight of broilers aged 42 days from first experimental group was 4.12 higher; broilers from the 2nd group 1.39% in comparison with the control group. The authors highlight a significant increase in the average daily growth: the 1st group showed the growth on 32.21% from the 22nd to the 35th day in respect to the control parameters. Organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological parameters of meat of all groups conformed to GOST 31470-2012 and SanPiN 2.3.2.1078-01 standards.

The paper explores the effect of heterolytics on the basis of apathogenic bacilli Vetom 1 and Vetom 1.23 when applying by means of different ways on quantitative and qualitative parameters of white blood cells of lactating cows. The researchers arranged 4 experimental groups and a control one. Animals of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups received a microbial specimen Vetom 1 dosed 50 and 12.5 mg / kg of body weight, respectively, once a day during 30 days. Animals of the 3rd and 4th experimental groups received microbial preparation Vetom 1.23 dosed 1.0 and 0.5 µl / kg of body weight, respectively, once a day during 30 days. The cows from the control group didn’t receive the specimens. The experiment resulted in the fact that investigated specimens are physiologic for animal organisms and changes in leukocytes and their fractions occur with the same regularity and within the physiological norm. During application of Vetom 1 and Vetom 1.23 the number of leukocytes, monocytes and granulocytes was increased, and the number of lymphocytes decreased. Upon termination of specimen application, the authors found out higher level of leukocytes, monocytes and granulocytes on the 60th day of research, whereas the number of lymphocytes when using Vetom 1 dosed 50 mg/kg of weight at the level of analogues from the control, and in animals of other experimental groups – decreases. The severity of changes in the studied components depended on the specimen used and the dose of it. Maximum increase in white blood cells, monocytes and granulocytes either in the period of specimen application, and after it was observed during application of Vetom 1 dosed 50 mg/kg. Granulocytic immunity is modulated by application of Vetom 1

In modern conditions, growing of young cattle can not occur without application of various pharmacological agents designed to prevent diseases of early postnatal period, and to stimulate growth and development. Feed antibiotics are seen to be these means during the second half of the XX century almost all over the world. However, in recent years, due to undesirable side effects arising from their application in animal husbandry, many countries have reduced application of feed antibiotics or completely excluded them, replacing them by probiotics–live cultures symbiotic to normal microflora of the gastrointestinal tract bacteria. Vetom 1.1 is considered to be one of the most effective probiotics, which includes a recombinant strain of Bacillus subtilis (hay sticks) VKPM B-10641 (DSM 24613). It is characterized by revealed antagonism to pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microflora of the intestine in a symbiotic relationship with the normal flora. The research was carried out in one of the farms of the middle mountain zone of the Republic of Altai and aimed at exploring the effect of probiotic Vetom 1.1 on some indicators of their growth and morphobiochemical composition of blood when feeding 6 months calves. The scientific and economic experiment conducted by means of the method of balanced groups, assumed that newborn Simmental calves received milk with 90 mg of Vetom 1.1 per 1 kg of body weight 2 times a day, from 1 to 14 days of life. The authors found out that 6 months calves from experimental groups significantly exceeded the ones from the control group in absolute and average daily weight gain on 11.8%; morphological and biochemical parameters of their blood showed a tendency to moderate increase within the physiological norm.
