The main problem: The rheological properties of calcium salts are of theoretical and practical interest for a modern researcher. The theoretical interest is primarily related to the search for general patterns and manifestations of the rheological properties of solutions of calcium salts. The practical component is based on the search for patterns and dependencies of the properties of solutions on the structure and composition of the object of study. Such chemicals as calcium salts are of particular practical interest, they are widely used in various fields, such as the food, chemical and pharmacological industries. Hydrophilic high-molecular solutions of alginates, namely calcium alginate, are actively used in the preparation of soft dosage forms, the manufacture of jelly masses in confectionery, act as thickeners in the food industry. They are characterized by a fairly high percentage of viscosity at low concentrations, bioavailability, prolonging effect, absence of irritating properties, biocompatibility with many polymers, which is especially important in the pharmaceutical industry and medicine. The use of calcium salts for these purposes is currently very promising, since these organic salts have a number of unique properties associated with gelation. Purpose: This paper contains the results of studying the features of the rheology of calcium alginate solutions. A concentration range of 0.1-0.7 % was chosen for the studies, which is sufficient to avoid gelation at room temperature. The dependence of viscosity on concentration, temperature (in the range of 25-45 °C) and shear rate were studied. Methods: Analysis of theoretical sources, observation, comparison of results. The rheological characteristics of the obtained substances were studied using a capillary viscometer. The measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 25-45°C. Results and their significance: it was found that there is a significant dependence of viscosity on concentration and temperature. For concentrations of 0.3 – 0.7 %, a similar type of dependence is observed, in contrast to solutions with a concentration of 0.1 % . Explanations of these dependencies were proposed.

In modern conditions, the problem of the incidence of cows with high productivity in the postpartum period is relevant. It is these animals that are more susceptible to various diseases, primarily due to violations of the technology of keeping and feeding, weak body resistance, heavy loads during fruiting and milk production. It is known that as a result of various metabolic disorders, calving of cows in farms proceeds with various deviations. The lack of calcium in the blood due to hormonal disorders leads to hypocalcemia and paresis after calving, which is often the cause of death of animals. Therefore, the improvement of prevention schemes and treatment of puerperal paresis in cows is very relevant. Purpose of the article – Improvement of preventive and therapeutic measures for postpartum paresis in cows on the basis of the Tassu farm in Akmola district. The work was carried out under production conditions on a livestock farm in the Akmola region, in the farm "Tassu" in the spring and summer. The object of the study were black-motley cows with a pregnancy period of 250-260 days. 22 animals were selected in the experimental group, 12 animals in the control group. The average weight of animals is 567 ± 34.5 kg, age 5-6 years. The cows of the experimental group received injections of the drug Karsulen, which included: 2 % Cardus marianus D3, 1 % Sulfur D6 and 1 % Arsenycum album D6. Karsulen was administered to cows intramuscularly or subcutaneously at the rate of 1 ml per 100 kg of animal weight, the dose volume should not be less than 5 ml per animal. In the postpartum period, in the complex therapy of postpartum paresis in cows, Karsulen is used intramuscularly or subcutaneously 1-2 times a day. The use of the drug Karsulen with the composition: 1 % Cardus marianus D3, 1 % Sulfur D6 and 1 % Arsenycum album D6 has a regulatory effect on protein, carbohydrate, fat metabolism, restores impaired function of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys.
