Cortical Mechanisms of Regulation of Lithium Content in Blood of Cows Depending on the Seasons

Abstract

The behavior of farm animals, especially ca le, is an important economic and useful feature, which significantly facilitates the opera ng condi ons and produc on of livestock products. The parameters of the nervous system in ca le determine its behavior in various situa ons, including keeping in the pen, herding, and milking. The op mal content of minerals in the body leads to the normal course of metabolic processes and high produc vity. Based on the results of studying the condi oned reflex ac vity, four experimental groups were formed. Whole blood, serum, and blood cells were used for laboratory analysis. Based on the results of the analysis of variance of the lithium content in different blood frac ons of cows, no reliable interac on between the typological features of the nervous system and the season has been established. The mobility of nervous processes, regardless of the season, is reliably associated with the lithium content in whole blood, blood cells, and blood serum (r = 0.15-0.22). Along with this, the parameter of the lithium transmembrane poten al (Licell/Liserum) is reliably associated mainly with the strength and balance of nervous processes in cows in the warm season -r = 0.
