The article presents the results of our own research on the therapeutic effectiveness of the use of FORTICEPT UDDER FORTE for post-milk treatment of cows with subclinical mastitis.As is known, one of the reasons for the emergence of mastitis of cows is the lack of proper sanitary-hygienic treatment of breast milk after milking. Taking into consideration the fact after milking, according to various authors, remains open for 30 minutes to 2 hours, it leads to the infection of the mammary gland with the microflora causing its inflammation.The study of the effectiveness of using FORTICEPT UDDER FORTE after milking treatment of cow's doses was performed in comparison with other existing agents: on the basis of chlorhexidine and iodine.The use of FORTICEPT UDDER FORTE for post-milking treatment of cow's dug reduces their incidence by subclinical mastitis by 30–40%.The therapeutic efficacy of using FORTICEPT UDDER FORTE in cows in the first experimental group was 20.1% higher than the other animals (chlorhexidine-based agent) and 13% in the third group (iodine-based).

Neosporosis is a parasitic disease characterized by abortions and the birth of weak offspring in cows. The causative agent of Neospora caninum is an obligate, protozoan parasite that belongs to the type Apicomplexa. The relevance of the study is conditioned upon the adverse impact of neosporosis on the economy of Ukraine (loss of productivity, veterinary and diagnostic costs). Furthermore, the issue of neosporosis is understudied. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to establish pathohistological changes in aborted foetuses and the foetal part of placentas and to confirm the involvement of the parasite (Neospora caninum) in cases of abortions recorded in different regions of the country. Two methods were used to investigate this problem: histological and real-time polymerase chain reaction. In aborted foetuses positive for N. caninum, the following pathohistological changes were most often detected: focal gliosis and perivascular mononuclear infiltrates in the brain; focal or diffuse mononuclear infiltration in the heart and skeletal muscles; periportal mononuclear infiltrates in the liver; focal necrosis of the mucous membrane and mononuclear infiltration in the foetal part of the placenta. Changes were less often detected in the lungs – mononuclear infiltration of the interstitium and diffuse lymphocytic alveolitis, and in the kidneys – diffuse interstitial mononuclear infiltration. No changes were found in the spleen. Neospore-like cysts were found in one out of twelve foetuses. Lesions established of foetal organs and placentas are inherent in neosporosis. The results of histological studies substantially complement the data of other authors, confirm the involvement of N. caninum in the occurrence of abortions in cows in certain regions of Ukraine, and also represent practical value for the diagnosis and control of neosporosis in cattle

The changes of arborization of secretions of mucous membranes during stimulated sexual cycle in cows have been investigated. It is established that the dynamics of arborization from the oral mucous membranes, the vestibule of the vagina for hormonal stimulation of the sexual cycle has a direct effect on the level of estrogens in cows. Starting from the third day of research, the number of animals in which we observed a clear arborization increased to four (40%), which indicates an increase in estrogen levels. Instead, six animals (60%) lacked arborization. On the fourth day in the estrus stage (insemination day), the number of cows in the smears we noticed a clear arborization increased to 7 (70%). This was the highest rate during the studies and suggests that only 7 cows had the highest estrogen levels at their peak. From the fifth to the 10th day of the study, a gradual decrease in the number of animals in smears was marked by clear arborization. This, in its turn, is associated with the formation on the site of an ovulatory follicle of the yellow body that begins to produce a progesterone, indicating the stage of the meteor shower. At the 12th of observation in smears of one animal was marked a clear crystallization while in the other nine it was absent. Beginning from the 13th to the 21st day, arboretization in the smears from the mucous membrane of prickly vagina was absent. Only on 14, 15, 17, and 20th day it was noticed singular or not clear arborization. At the 22–24th day of observation in one cow, signs of the next sexual cycle were recorded. Namely, in smears, we noticed a clear arborization, which confirms the renewal of sexual cycle and lack of fertilization. Mucus mucous membranes of spit vagina and saliva of cows for spontaneous want have a longer-term character and a clear figure in the form of a leaf of fern than in the induced sexual cycle, where the drawing was less intense and short-lived in the stage of the estrus. According to our data, one can sometimes observe single crystallization in the stage of metetrusus and diestrus. This is what we associate with the selection of smears from the oral cavity after feeding the animals with concentrated foods, acidic silage, and in smears from mucus, vinegar vinegar – functional disorders in the sexual system.

Контроль господарської діяльність ферми великої рогатої худоби передбачає чітко налагоджений зоотехнічний облік. Це, в свою чергу, дає можливість обліковувати витрати кормів та інших засобів, правиль-но нараховувати і оплачувати працю тваринників. Вчасне складання документів на прибуття та вибуття худоби, продуктів тваринництва, є основою всієї організації обліку на фермі господарства. Окрім цього, облік тварин дає можливість отримати необхідні їх характеристики, зокрема
