The article emphasizes the importance of carrying out breeding work with Kazakh horses of the zhabe type, which are of great importance for the productive horse breeding industry. The results of selection experiments on improving breeding and productive qualities are presented on the example of the Kazakh zhabe horses of Seletiinsky factory type at a stud farm "Altai Karpik Saydaly-Sartoka" of the Irtysh district of the Pavlodar region.

The article presents the results of studies conducted at the veterinary clinic «Jean» in the city of Pavlodar. It is noted, that for the period 2013-2017. 348 cases of disease in dogs were registered by pyroplasmosis – a protozoal disease caused by parasitic organs of the genus Piroplasma. The authors described the clinical symptoms of disease in animals, as well as the nature of the flow of infectious diseases.

The article is devoted to the current problem of differential diagnosis of diseases of viral etiology in small domestic animals. Viral diseases of dogs and cats are widespread among both high-breed and outbred animals. The spread of diseases is facilitated by an increase in the number of small domestic animals, the popularization of pet keeping, and cross-border operations related to the movement of animals. The possibility of using means and methods of diagnosing adenovirus infection in cattle, tentative diagnosis and differentiation of infectious hepatitis in dogs from plague of carnivores and parvovirus enteritis is being considered. Reducing the timing of diagnosis helps to increase the effectiveness of ongoing therapeutic and antiepizootic measures. The analysis of the place of carnivorous infectious hepatitis in the structure of the incidence of dogs is given. The article describes the research in the field of the possibility of using the established antigenic relationship of representatives of the adenovirus family for the in vivo and posthumous diagnosis of infectious diseases of small pets. The authors proposed a method for performing the production of serological reactions for the diagnosis of infectious hepatitis in dogs using diagnostic tools for adenovirus infection in cattle.

The article presents the results of the study of adaptive and productive qualities of the mountain-Altai breed of goats and their crossbreeding in the specific natural-climatic conditions of the region. The possibility of importing the mountain-Altai breed of goats and further breeding it in the conditions of northeast Kazakhstan has been determined

Main problem: The development of the genetic potential of poultry, as well as the receipt of high-quality eggs for collection or further incubation, are possible only if rational and correct feeding of the broodstock and, more importantly, the young during its rearing period is observed. During this period, high-quality protein nutrition occupies an important place, which determines the level of productivity, stable growth, reproductive ability of the bird, as well as the state of health during the feeding period. Protein deficiency always remains an urgent problem for agricultural land, whose main activity is aimed at breeding dairy and meat animals. In this regard, research in the field of finding the use of non-traditional protein feed is of great need. If we summarize the modern achievements in the field of protein and aminoacid nutrition of poultry, we can find the most profitable way to obtain feed additives in industrial production. The studies, the results of which will be described in this article, are aimed at studying the possibility, experimental substantiation of the optimal dosage and the effectiveness of using the feed additive from crustaceans Artemia salina in the diets of chickens of the egg-meat direction of productivity [1]. Purpose: To study the possibility, experimental substantiation of the optimal dosage and the effectiveness of the use of the feed additive from crustaceans Artemia salina in the diet of chickens of the egg-meat direction of productivity. Methods: Analysis and generalization of theoretical information Results and their significance: This article presents the results of the analysis and generalization of theoretical material. The theoretical significance is determined by the fact that it is invested in scientific and practical problems related directly to solving urgent problems, increasing the efficiency, competitiveness and quality of domestic poultry products.

Main problem: At present, service, decorative and hunting dog breeding is intensively developing in Russia and in the Tula region. So, in 2020, 119 high-breed puppies were registered in the Book of Pedigree Breeding, and in 2021 already 164 puppies, mostly decorative and service breeds. Thus, the number of pedigreed dogs susceptible to various infectious diseases is increasing annually. Canine distemper is one of the most widespread viral diseases of dogs all over the world, including in Russia. Analyzing the "Patient Admission Logs" of veterinary clinics in the city of Tula, it was found that 44 % of dogs that fell ill with diseases of infectious etiology were diagnosed with canine distemper. Purpose: The aim of our research was to study the epizootological features of the course of canine distemper among dogs in the Tula region of Russia. To achieve the intended goal, it was necessary to solve the following problem: to analyze the breed and age factors for the incidence of canine distemper. Methods: Analysis of data from private veterinary clinics reporting on the incidence of small domestic animals was used. Results and their significance: As a result of studying the epizootic situation of canine distemper among dogs, the following data were obtained: The disease is observed throughout the year and has the character of undamped fluctuations subject to sharp seasonal changes. The maximum number of diseased dogs in all years of observation is recorded in March - 6.2 cases per 1000 individuals. It has been established that among the infectious diseases of dogs, distemper occupies the first place, and there is an annual increase in the number of dogs with distemper.

Increasing the yield of sunflower is inextricably linked with the evaluation of newly created interline hybrids and their components (parental forms) using various methods for assessing their combination ability (CА). Breeding research in this direction includes large material and practical costs when using the developed methods for assessing combination ability (CА) due to its small analytical capabilities. New approaches to the analysis of the productivity of hybrids in practical studies can significantly increase the volume of the analyzed material and evaluate not only for a short period of testing, but also for a long period of time over the years. Purpose is determination of the combination ability of parental forms of sunflower interlinear hybrids to optimize the breeding process. When analyzing the determination of the combination ability of the parental components of sunflower interlinear hybrids, the method of evaluating the CА according to a special scale developed at VNIIMK (Krasnodar, Russia) was used. This method makes it possible to analyze a large number of hybrid combinations and their parental forms and draw appropriate conclusions for further use in the breeding process. The analysis of the obtained results makes it possible to fully evaluate the obtained interline hybrid combinations by years of testing. We analyzed 1736 hybrid combinations involving 212 maternal forms and 1472 combinations involving 209 paternal pollen fertility restorer lines. 75 maternal lines with a high total combination ability (GCА) and 97 paternal forms with this trait were identified. Maternal lines with high combinational ability VKU 110 A, VKU 140 A and SV 55 A are of interest for use in practical breeding. Among the paternal forms are SV 123 V, VKU 400 V and VKU 401 V. The components of hybrid combinations with high specific combination ability (SCА) have been determined. These are lines VKU 414 A, VKU 413 A, SV 31 Rf, SP 1459. Hybrids with high adaptive properties have been identified when growing conditions change, which will make it possible to purposefully conduct practical breeding to maintain high productivity of sunflower hybrids
