Authors: Martins Adinan Marzulo Maia , Lourenço Pedro  Mateus Silva , Da Silva Diego Vicente Sperle , Cruz Carla Bernadete Madureira
Published: October 2023

Este trabalho tem por objetivo criar e comparar dois mapas de uso e cobertura do solo para o município de Saboeiro (CE). O primeiro gerado a partir da média de imagens dos anos 1987, 1989 e 1991, nos períodos secos; e o segundo referente aos anos 2018, 2020 e 2021. Em ambos os casos o processamento foi realizado na plataforma Google Earth Engine (GEE). O primeiro mapeamento apresentou exatidão global de 92,45% e índice Kappa de 90,92%, enquanto que o segundo mapeamento obteve 94,89% e 93,84% para os mesmos índices, respectivamente. A classe “Formação Campestre/Agropecuária” teve perdas expressivas, que foram corroboradas  com os dados do Censo Agropecuário que apresentam a mesma tendência. Observou-se ainda  perda da classe “Vegetação de Alta Densidade” e aumento das classes “Solo Exposto” e “Vegetação de Baixa Densidade”, que podem ser o resultado da pressão antrópica sobre as áreas naturais.

Published: October 2023

O presente artigo relata o impacto que o sequestro de carbono tem nas áreas de preservação ambiental, além de também analisar a importância que as Unidades de Conservação têm para os municípios aos quais elas estão sendo implementadas. Além de analisar e mapear as áreas verdes (vegetação) no Município de São Gonçalo. O objetivo desta pesquisa é estudar as áreas de proteção ambiental de São Gonçalo, o impacto que elas possuem e como se dá a situação de sequestro de carbono nessas áreas de vegetação. Dessa forma, foram utilizadas imagens de satélite, processadas no ArcGis 10.8, a fim de mapear essas áreas de proteção, os Distritos de São Gonçalo e Uso e Cobertura; além de calcular através do índice de vegetação (NDVI) também no ArcGIS as áreas verdes presentes em São Gonçalo e fazendo uso do CO2 Flux a fim de calcular a quantidade de carbono que está sendo trocada entre os reservatórios de carbono naquela localidade, tanto nos Distritos de São Gonçalo, quanto no Uso e Cobertura e também nas Áreas de Proteção utilizamos dados fornecidos pelo INEA, para que fosse possível observar o quanto as APAs contribuem para o sequestro de carbono. Através dos resultados dos cálculos do CO2Flux obtidos foi possível concluir a importância que as áreas de proteção ambiental, a vegetação de mangue e a produção agrícola em localidades de assentamento podem contribuir para o sequestro de carbono.

O mundo sofre com o aumento da pobreza, da fome e das disputas territoriais que resulta no deslocamento de pessoas de seus países de origem na busca de uma vida melhor. Essas pessoas são conhecidas como refugiados e, buscam países com melhores condições de vida com o mínimo de acesso à educação, emprego, saúde e moradia. O Brasil é visto como um dos principais países para o acolhimento desses imigrantes que buscam as diferentes oportunidades locais em suas diferentes regiões. A metodologia deste trabalho aborda de maneira espacial quais são as origens dos refugiados que vivem em nosso país com o destaque para os dados sobre a faixa etária e o gênero adquiridos da OBMigra. Observou-se que os países que fazem parte das Américas do Sul e Central possuem os maiores quantitativos de refugiados no Brasil.
A Guerra na Ucrânia sob a ótica das Teorias de Relações Internacionais: discussão sobre causas e caráter da guerra.
Authors: Bugiato Caio
Published: October 2023

Este artigo apresenta as perspectivas teóricas e análises do Realismo, do Liberalismo e do Marxismo sobre a Guerra na Ucrânia. A partir de leitura bibliográfica sobre as teorias e as posições de autores referenciados nessas perspectivas, procuramos diferenciar e evidenciar suas avaliações sobre as causas e o caráter da guerra. A guerra iniciada pelo Estado russo para os realistas é defensiva e sua principal causa é a expansão da OTAN. Para os liberais, é uma guerra de agressão, cuja principal causa é a autocracia de Putin. Para nós é uma guerra contra-imperilista e sua principal causa é a expansão da cadeia imperialista/OTAN.

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Opportunity to Bridge District Equity Gaps by Fostering Collaborations with BIPOC Solution Providers
Authors: Merritt Johnson Alexandra , Bates Sherenna , Smith Kimberly
Published: October 2023

Despite extensive educational reform efforts, social position and identity continue to affect the academic success of historically and systematically excluded students in the United States. To address this, it is imperative to involve BIPOC communities in the creation and selection of education solutions aimed at reducing this inequity. Although BIPOC solution providers possess the expertise and innovative solutions required to meet HSE students’ needs, they often encounter barriers that limit their access to districts and education markets. To bridge this gap, Digital Promise’s Center for Inclusive Innovation has introduced two innovative approaches: Learning Salons and Solution Showcases. Learning Salons facilitate collaboration and engagement between BIPOC solution providers and district leaders, addressing specific challenges faced by HSE students. Solution Showcases offer an event where district leaders can explore teaching and learning solutions designed by BIPOC providers. This report focuses on the experiences and perspectives of BIPOC solution providers and district leaders navigating the education landscape and highlights their insights from Learning Salons and Solution Showcases. It also highlights factors to consider in overcoming barriers to partnerships between districts and BIPOC solution providers.
Genome editing to create avian influenza resistance in chickens. Proceeding of The First International Avian Influenza Summit, University of Arkansas- October 16-17, 2023”
Authors: McGrew Mike
Published: October 2023

Avian influenza (AI) significantly threatens global poultry production and public health. Efforts to combat this viral disease have been predominantly focused on vaccination strategies, with limited success in controlling its spread. This study explores a novel approach utilizing genome editing techniques to enhance avian influenza resistance in chickens. Specifically, we employ CRISPR-Cas9 technology to target the ANP32 genes, endogenous proteins co-opted by influenza for replication in chicken cells. Through the precise modification of these genes, we aimed to elucidate their role in conferring resistance to low and high pathogenic avian influenza strains. We employed genome editing methodologies to introduce specific modifications in the chicken genome of reproductive cells. By introducing targeted genetic alterations in the germ cells, we created chickens that transmit their resistance trait to subsequent generations of chickens. The outcomes of this research have the potential to change avian influenza management strategies, offering a new paradigm for disease resistance in poultry populations. This approach holds promise for sustainable and cost-effective AI management strategies, reducing reliance on continuous vaccination campaigns. Moreover, the knowledge gained from our study may have broader implications for understanding host-influenza interactions in multiple species and inform future strategies for combating emerging infectious diseases at the human-animal interface.

Published: October 2023

As relações afetivas são passíveis de regulamentação legislativa, logo que o Estado entende que as relações são compreendidas como entidade familiar, recebendo, portanto, proteção estatal. Este estudo analisará o contrato de namoro como método desqualificação o instituto da união estável no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Referido contrato é utilizado para afastar a caracterização da união estável, visando a proteção patrimonial. Nesse sentido, busca-se elucidar se o contrato de namoro pode afastar a caracterização da união estável. A utilização do contrato ainda é discutida, havendo, entre doutrina e jurisprudência diversas divergências no que se refere à validade jurídica. Considerando a complexidade do tema, a relevância da pesquisa justifica-se pela crescente procura do instrumento contratual. Pautada em pesquisa bibliográfica e análise da legislação vigente, bem como na doutrina e estudos publicados na internet, espera-se apreciar referido instituto diante dos planos de validade e eficácia que fazem parte do direito contratual, a fim de atingir o objetivo principal.

Abstract. In the summer of 2018, Europe experienced an intense heatwave which coincided with several persistent large-scale ozone (O3) pollution episodes. Novel satellite data of lower-tropospheric column O3 from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) and Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) on the MetOp satellite showed substantial enhancements in 2018 relative to other years since 2012. Surface observations also showed ozone enhancements across large regions of continental Europe in summer 2018 compared to 2017. Enhancements to surface temperature and the O3 precursor gases carbon monoxide and methanol in 2018 were co-retrieved from MetOp observations by the same scheme. This analysis was supported by the TOMCAT chemistry transport model (CTM) to investigate processes driving the observed O3 enhancements. Through several targeted sensitivity experiments we show that meteorological processes, and emissions to a secondary order, were important for controlling the elevated O3 concentrations at the surface. However, mid-tropospheric (∼ 500 hPa) O3 enhancements were dominated by meteorological processes. We find that contributions from stratospheric O3 intrusions ranged between 15 %–40 %. Analysis of back trajectories indicates that the import of O3-enriched air masses into Europe originated over the North Atlantic, substantially increasing O3 in the 500 hPa layer during summer 2018.
Spatial and temporal variability of methane emissions and environmental conditions in a hyper-eutrophic fishpond
Authors: Znachor Petr , Nedoma Jiří , Kolar Vojtech , Matoušů Anna
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Estimations of methane (CH4) emissions are often based on point measurements using either flux chambers or a transfer coefficient method, which may lead to strong underestimation of the total CH4 fluxes. In order to demonstrate more precise measurements of the CH4 fluxes from an aquaculture pond, using a higher resolution sampling approach we examined the spatiotemporal variability of CH4 concentrations in the water, related fluxes (diffusive and ebullitive) and relevant environmental conditions (temperature, oxygen, chlorophyll a) during three diurnal campaigns in a hyper-eutrophic fishpond. Our data show remarkable variance spanning several orders of magnitude while diffusive fluxes accounted for only a minor fraction of total CH4 fluxes (4.1 %–18.5 %). Linear mixed-effects models identified water depth as the only significant predictor of CH4 fluxes. Our findings necessitate complex sampling strategies involving temporal and spatial variability for reliable estimates of the role of fishponds in a global methane budget.
Southern Ocean deep mixing band emerges from a competition between winter buoyancy loss and upper stratification strength
Authors: Caneill Romain , Roquet Fabien , Nycander Jonas
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The Southern Ocean hosts a winter deep mixing band (DMB) near the Antarctic Circumpolar Current's (ACC) northern boundary, playing a pivotal role in Subantarctic Mode Water formation. Here, we investigate what controls the presence and geographical extent of the DMB. Using observational data, we construct seasonal climatologies of surface buoyancy fluxes, Ekman buoyancy transport, and upper stratification. The strength of the upper ocean stratification is determined using the columnar buoyancy index, defined as the buoyancy input necessary to produce a 250 m deep mixed layer. It is found that the DMB lies precisely where the autumn – winter buoyancy loss exceeds the columnar buoyancy found in late summer. The buoyancy loss decreases towards the south, while in the north, the stratification is too strong to produce deep mixed layers. Although this threshold is also crossed in the Agulhas current and East Australian current regions, advection of buoyancy is able to stabilise the stratification. The Ekman buoyancy transport has a secondary impact on the DMB extent due to the compensating effects of temperature and salinity transports on buoyancy. Changes in surface temperature drive spatial variations of the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC). These TEC variations are necessary to explain the limited meridional extent of the DMB. We demonstrate this by comparing buoyancy budgets derived using varying TEC values with those derived using a constant TEC value. Reduced TEC in colder waters leads to decreased winter buoyancy loss south of the DMB, yet substantial heat loss persists. Lower TEC values also weaken the effect of temperature stratification, partially compensating for the effect of buoyancy loss damping. TEC modulation impacts both the DMB characteristics and its meridional extent.
INVESTIGATION ON THE USE OF NeRF FOR HERITAGE 3D DENSE RECONSTRUCTION FOR INTERIOR SPACES
Authors: Murtiyoso A. , Markiewicz J. , Karwel A. K. , Kot P.
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The concept of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) emerged in recent years as a method to create novel synthetic 3D viewpoints from a set of trained images. While it has several overlaps with conventional photogrammetry and especially multi-view stereo (MVS), its main point of interest is the capability to rapidly recreate objects in 3D. In this paper, we investigate the quality of point clouds generated by state-of-the-art NeRF in the context of interior spaces and compare them to four conventional MVS algorithms, of which two are commercial (Agisoft Metashape and Pix4D) and the other two open source (Patch-Match and Semi-Global Matching). Three synthetic datasets of interior scenes were created from laser scanning data with different characteristics and architectural elements. Results show that NeRF point clouds could achieve satisfactory results geometrically speaking, with an average standard deviation of 1.7 cm in interior cases where the scene dimension is roughly 25–50 m3 in volume. However, the level of noise on the point cloud, which was considered as out of tolerance, ranges between 17–42%, meaning that the level of detail and finesse is most likely insufficient for sophisticated heritage documentation purposes, even though from a visualisation point of view the results were better. However, NeRF did show the capability to reconstruct texture less and reflective surfaces where MVS failed.
BENCHMARKING THE EXTRACTION OF 3D GEOMETRY FROM UAV IMAGES WITH DEEP LEARNING METHODS
Authors: Nex F. , Zhang N. , Remondino F. , Farella E. M. , Qin R. , Zhang C.
Published: October 2023

Abstract. 3D reconstruction from single and multi-view stereo images is still an open research topic, despite the high number of solutions proposed in the last decades. The surge of deep learning methods has then stimulated the development of new methods using monocular (MDE, Monocular Depth Estimation), stereoscopic and Multi-View Stereo (MVS) 3D reconstruction, showing promising results, often comparable to or even better than traditional methods. The more recent development of NeRF (Neural Radial Fields) has further triggered the interest for this kind of solution. Most of the proposed approaches, however, focus on terrestrial applications (e.g., autonomous driving or small artefacts 3D reconstructions), while airborne and UAV acquisitions are often overlooked. The recent introduction of new datasets, such as UseGeo has, therefore, given the opportunity to assess how state-of-the-art MDE, MVS and NeRF 3D reconstruction algorithms perform using airborne UAV images, allowing their comparison with LiDAR ground truth. This paper aims to present the results achieved by two MDE, two MVS and two NeRF approaches levering deep learning approaches, trained and tested using the UseGeo dataset. This work allows the comparison with a ground truth showing the current state of the art of these solutions and providing useful indications for their future development and improvement.
ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DATASET PUBLICATION GUIDELINE: DATA REPOSITORIES AND KEYWORD ANALYSIS IN ISPRS DOMAIN
Authors: Budde L. E. , Kullmann T. , Iwaszczuk D.
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The FAIR principle (find, access, interoperability, reuse) forms a sustainable resource for scientific exchange between researchers. Currently, the implementation of this principle is an important process for future research projects. To support this process in the ISPRS community, the usage of data repositories for dataset publication has the potential to bring closer the achievement of the FAIR principle. Therefore, we (1) analysed available data repositories, (2) identified common keywords in ISPRS publications and (3) developed a tool for searching appropriate repositories. Thus, infrastructures from the field of geosciences, that can already be used, become more accessible.
SELECTED QUALITATIVE ASPECTS OF LIDAR POINT CLOUDS: GEOSLAM ZEB-REVO AND FARO FOCUS 3D X130
Authors: Warchoł A. , Karaś T. , Antoń M.
Published: October 2023

Abstract. This paper presents a comparison of LiDAR point clouds acquired using two, different measurement techniques: static TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) performed with a FARO Focus3D X130 laser scanner and a SLAM-based (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) unit of MLS (Mobile Laser Scanning), namely GeoSLAM ZEB-REVO. After the two point clouds were brought into a single coordinate system, they were compared with each other in terms of internal accuracy and density. The density aspect was visualized using 2D density rasters, and calculated using 3 methods available in CloudCompare software. Thus, one should consider before choosing how to acquire a LiDAR point cloud whether a short measurement time is more important (ZEB-REVO) or whether higher density and measurement accuracy is more important (FARO Focus3D X130). In BIM/HBIM modeling applications, logic dictates that the TLS solution should be chosen, despite the longer data acquisition and processing time, but with a cloud with far better quality parameters that allow objects on the point cloud to be recognized. In a situation where the TLS point cloud is 20 times more dense, it allows to model objects at the appropriate level of geometric detail.
A 3D INDOOR-OUTDOOR BENCHMARK DATASET FOR LoD3 BUILDING POINT CLOUD SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION
Authors: Cao Y. , Scaioni M.
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Deep learning (DL) algorithms require high quality training samples as well as accurate and thorough annotations to work effectively. Up until now a limited number of datasets are available to train DL techniques for semantic segmentation of 3D building point clouds, except a few ones focusing on specific categories of constructions (e.g., cultural heritage buildings). This paper presents a new 3D Indoor/Outdoor building dataset (BIO dataset), which is aimed to provide a highly accurate, detailed, and comprehensive dataset to be used for applications related to sematic classification of buildings based on point clouds and meshes. This benchmark dataset contains 100 building models generated from existing polygonal models and belonging to different categories. These include commercial buildings, residential houses, industrial and institutional buildings. Structural elements of buildings are annotated into 11 semantic categories, following standards from IFC and CityGML. To verify the applicability of the BIO dataset for the semantic segmentation task, it has been successfully tested by using one machine learning technique and four different DL algorithms.

Abstract. The fracturing of glaciers and ice shelves in Antarctica influences their dynamics and stability. Hence, data on the evolving distribution of crevasses are required to better understand the evolution of the ice sheet, though such data have traditionally been difficult and time-consuming to generate. Here, we present an automated method of mapping crevasses on grounded and floating ice with the application of convolutional neural networks to Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar backscatter data. We apply this method across Antarctica to images acquired between 2015 and 2022, producing a 7.5-year record of composite fracture maps at monthly intervals and 50 m spatial resolution and showing the distribution of crevasses around the majority of the ice sheet margin. We develop a method of quantifying changes to the density of ice shelf fractures using a time series of crevasse maps and show increases in crevassing on Thwaites and Pine Island ice shelves over the observational period, with observed changes elsewhere in the Amundsen Sea dominated by the advection of existing crevasses. Using stress fields computed using the BISICLES ice sheet model, we show that much of this structural change has occurred in buttressing regions of these ice shelves, indicating a recent and ongoing link between fracturing and the developing dynamics of the Amundsen Sea sector.

The development of the terrestrial gastropods rearing, including the grape snail, in Russian Federation for the purpose of producing food products, and possibly exporting these products to traditionally consuming the molluscs in the European region, presuppose the appropriate regulatory framework development, incl. regulating the obtained food products safety. In order to provide a scientific justification for the introduced regulations, scientific information was collected on the food risks in terrestrial gastropods, which are traditionally consumed by humans. The specificity of this terrestrial invertebrates group leads to the formation of a safety indicators list that need to be monitored, which is not found in other groups, including those that are unique for the Russian Federation, primarily microbiological and parasitological. On the other hand, some of the risk factors for the consumption of terrestrial gastropods (the content of toxic elements, persistent organic pollutants and foodborne pathogens) are associated with the conditions of their keeping and feeding. According to the results of the study, the most common risk factors were recommended for inclusion in regulations.

The intensification of growing processes, concentrated feeding and other improvements in technological processes in poultry farms have led to the development of new metabolic pathologies for the industry, previously not widely recorded. The development of these diseases is directly related to excessive stress on the poultry body during intensive rearing. The central organ most susceptible to this type of stress is the liver. Currently, clear signs of hepatopathy are recorded even in poultry farming. As a result, an important offal – the liver – is discarded, the poultry lags behind in growth and development, and the quality of the meat decreases. Therefore, the development of hepatoprotective veterinary drugs for poultry farming is an urgent task. To determine the effectiveness of the new hepatoprotective drug Selephlan in the vivarium conditions of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Krasnodar Research Centre for Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine”, an experiment was conducted on two groups of broiler chickens (experimental and control) of the Arbor Acres cross (n=100). The studied drug was given to the experimental group during the growth and finishing periods of rearing (15–40 days) at a dose of 1.0% per unit of feed. The poultry of the control group received complete feed (CF) without additives. In order to determine the state of the hepatobiliary system of poultyr in the end of the experimental period, intravital screening monitoring of the liver condition using ultrasound diagnostics was carried out in the experimental and control groups, followed by slaughter to clarify the identified changes in the liver parenchyma tissue. Based on ultrasound diagnostics and histological studies, it was determined that the drug Selephlan under conditions of intensive fattening allows maintaining the healthy structure and functional activity of the liver of broiler chickens at a physiologically normal level throughout the entire productive period of rearing, which has a beneficial effect on the growth characteristics of meat poultry and the quality of the resulting livestock products.
Updated accreditation requirements for veterinary laboratories

Published: October 2023

One of the priorities of the state policy at present is ensuring food security, to which veterinary workers, in particular, veterinary laboratories, make a significant contribution.

As part of the implementation of strategic documents, sufficient attention has been paid to veterinary laboratories. They are considered as "entry" points for checking imported goods and as organizations that promote the export of high-quality goods from Russia.

Legislators of our country and the countries of the Eurasian Economic Commission set serious requirements for veterinary laboratories, in particular, on their accreditation. However, for all its significance, the legislation in this area cannot be called perfect. Based on the study of the regulatory framework, it is concluded that the current level of regulation of the activities of veterinary laboratories is insufficient.

The article presents data on the effectiveness of using various sperm preparation protocols by colloidal centrifugation (density gradient centrifugation method) before procedures of assisted reproductive technologies, including in vitro artificial insemination. The use of the method can affect the quality of sexual gametes and the viability of embryos, increase the percentage of successful embryotransplantation and contribute to the appearance of highly productive offspring.

As a result of the research, the most optimal protocol of centrifugation by the method of gradient layering with indicators of the first and second centrifugation 700g – 20 min and 100g – 10 min, respectively, was determined by morphofunctional characteristics. The average rate of motile spermatozoa was 84.1±5.1%, progressive spermatozoa – 68.7±5.1%, the rate of rectilinear translational motion was 49.69 microns/sec. Morphology and viability meet quality standards.
Dynamics of fat and protein metabolism in cows depending on the pregnancy period
Authors: Nikitina A. A.
Published: October 2023

An analysis of the data obtained from the study of some blood parameters of dairy cows, reflecting their lipid and protein metabolism, was carried out. It has been determined that as pregnancy progresses, there is a significant positive trend in the increase in the concentration of lipids in the blood of pregnant dairy cows. Thus, the concentration of triglycerides by the 8-9th month of pregnancy increases by a total of 24%, compared with the data obtained at the beginning of the study (2 months of pregnancy). The data did not go beyond the generally accepted reference values for cows. At the same time, the concentration of cholesterol synchronously increases several times (up to 4), which indicates a redistribution of the metabolic load in the body, it is worth noting that this usually indicates the activation of synthesizing processes in the liver, which is also visible, first of all, by an increase in the concentration total protein during periods of pregnancy. The concentration of total protein in the blood serum by 8-9 months increases by 16.2%, compared with the results obtained during pregnancy at 2 months. The data obtained indicate the activation of protein and lipid metabolism during pregnancy, which is important to take into account when organizing feeding and maintenance to prevent the development of a negative energy balance.

Nonspecific dyspepsia is a common pathology of the early neonatal period, characterized by widespread and severe course, severe intoxication and dehydration. Due to diarrheal syndrome, leukocytes, immunoglobulins, water, macro- and microelements are excreted from the body of young animals. It is possible to restore the lack of inorganic substances by introducing mineral supplements into the treatment regimen, and normalize the digestive processes through the use of probiotics. Considering that the data from their combined use in the treatment of nonspecific dyspepsia of young animals are extremely scarce and sometimes contradictory, the goal was set to establish the degree of influence of the combined use of the mineral feed additive "Calvolit" and the probiotic supplement Biolatic G–500 on the main clinical blood parameters of calves in the treatment of nonspecific dyspepsia. The object of the study was 30 calves of a three-day-old black-and-white Holstein breed, selected according to the principle of pairs of analogues that had a body weight from 30.0 to 35.0 kg at birth. Three groups were formed from them. The first (control) group (n=10) included healthy animals (normotrophics) with no clinical signs of dyspepsia. The second (n=10) and third (n=10) groups were formed from animals with a characteristic clinical picture of a simple form of dyspepsia. The animals of the second group were assigned a treatment regimen used on the farm. In addition, Biolatic G-500 preparations at a dose of 5.0 g (0.5 tablespoons) and the mineral feed additive Calvolit at a dose of 30.0 g per head per day were introduced into the treatment regimen for animals of the third group. The control of the clinical condition of the animals was carried out taking into account the clinical blood test. It was found that the combined use of the probiotic drug "Biolatic" (Biolatic) G-500 and the mineral feed additive "Calvolit" as part of the treatment regimens for nonspecific dyspepsia contributes to the acceleration of normalization of clinical blood parameters and leukocyte profile of young animals.

The aim of the performed studies was to analyze the effectiveness of transabdominal delivery in black-and-white Holstein cows in modern industrial complexes, as well as in mongrel cats and dogs, depending on the nature of pathologies and postoperative treatment of mothers. The clinical effectiveness of transabdominal delivery depended on the general condition of women in labor, the severity of intoxication of the body, the state of the birth canal and the fetus upon admission to surgery. The analysis of the results of operations indicates that the nature of the course of the postoperative period, the absence or development of metritis and peritonitis determined the positive effect and outcome of the operation. Timely transabdominal delivery with the use of modern antibiotics in combination with the immunostimulator thymogen in dogs led to a favorable outcome with live fetuses in 92-97% of cases, with dead fetuses in 64-82% of cases. At the same time, cows with live fruits survived in 98% of cases, with dead ones - in 91.7%.
