ECONOMIC-BIOLOGICAL FEATURES AND EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE OF YOUNG CATTLE IN THE KRASNODAR REGION
06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
DescriptionIn the Krasnodar region there is a unique gene pool of animals both for dairy and meat. To assess the heifers the authors formed five experimental groups of animals, the most common species in the region. The authors studied the main economic, biological and exterior features: live weight, measurements, assessment of the exterior. The studies found that among intensive species with the largest body weight throughout the growing period, in 8-month old Charolais heifers superior Simmental ones at 17.4 kg. In one year old Simmental heifers were 9.2 kg (R˂0,05) ahead of Charolais and in 15 months – 10 kg (R˂0,05). Over the entire period of growth the highest rates of relative growth rates of heifers were obtained by red steppe breed type named Kuban, which had an advantage over the Aberdeen-Angus – 19.1%, Charolais – 5.6%, Hereford – 6.2%, and the difference between them and Simmental weren’t fixed. When growing, the animals become less tall, more stretched, wide and massive. We have noted that during the period of cultivation we had increased indices: stretch (9% – Red Steppe, 13.8% – Charolais, 16.1% – Hereford); chest (5.4% Aberdeen Angus). This reduces the index of long legs of red steppe – 5.6%, 10.9% for Charolais. The study of linear growth of animals confirms that the animal meat breeds of live weight increase was due to the extension of the body and increase the width of the pelvis and chest. Some different facts were observed in heifers of Red Steppe breed. For them, the most characteristic increase in the width of the chest was 1.44 times, as well as increasing the depth of the chest and chest girth behind the shoulders

PECULIARITIES OF NON-INFECTIONAL ARTHRITIS IN GROWING POULTRY IN AN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT
06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
DescriptionThe problem of industrial poultry farming is the emergence of a growing birds’ arthritis. Inflamed joints are usually seen in poultry and accompanied by the inability to take food and water. The most characteristic of this problem in broiler chickens, young chickens of egg cross, i.e. birds of a short period of use. This is the reason for their rejection of the herd. Culling chickens are 10%, which furthermore reduces the total amount of livestock and leads to a reduction in the cost-effectiveness of growing birds. The analysis of our data gives a reason to believe that the main reason for culling poultry is acute inflammation of the joints or arthri-tis. According to the authors to ensure optimal rearing program, which should include the prevention of premature retirement of birds not only due to infectious diseases, but also the prevention of metabolic disorders and the exclusion of factors that could cause disruption of immunological reactivity. Currently, this program needs to be improved, which is particularly important in relation to vaccine pre-vention

06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
DescriptionAssessment of the nature of the impact of preventive immunization of growing chickens on the results of cultivation and state agencies involved in immune reactivity is the first step in finding ways to eliminate the negative effects of immunization. The results show that the healthy birds posses two sharp peaks of exceeding norms by weight of the liver – aged 50 days and 84 days - more than 20%. Spleen weight at the age of 40 days exceeds 20%, and 50 days shows the greatest deviation from the norm. In the future, the relative weight of the spleen de-creased, and 84 days of age comes into compliance with the norm. The most significant change in the relative weight of the spleen and liver of poultry is set at the age of 50 days. The authors attribute this fact with a forced need to implement an immune response in a specified bodies accumulating overload antigenic incentives

DescriptionThe purpose of the research is to assess the ability of reclamation plantations of walnut and black nut on the accumulation of heavy metals in their phytomass – leaves, shoots, and fruit. The studies were conducted in the Rostov region, the Krasnodar and the Stavropol regions. In the samples of vegetative aboveground and soil (under the canopy nuts) we have defined qualitative content of total forms of heavy metals of Cu, Ni, Co, Zn, Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr. This ability is the accumulation of heavy metals in leaves, shoots and fruit that fall from the atmosphere. Later, the bulk forms of these metals with the annual litter come to litter, and then – into the soil

BIOLOGICAL FEATURES AND PRODUCTIVITY OF BLACK-AND-WHITE CATTLE
06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
DescriptionThe behavior, interior and milk yield of the mature Black-and-White cows with various productivity levels, as well as etology of the replacement heifers are researched. The superiority of the high milk yielding cows for the lying duration and eating feed and water is revealed. Reduced variability of vital behavioral actions of animals is found. In addition, high yielding cows has been lower variability in all feeding acts. It was noted that high yielding animals exceeded equal age cows by the level of most interior factors. The differences were significant on the content of hemoglobin, vitamin E, and especially on the content of iron. Positive correlations between some interior design indicators is found. The analysis of lifetime productivity during our research found that high milk yielding cows had highest yields on the first lactation and kept the same level in the next lactations with insignificant variations. The lower productivity animals reached maximal yields on the third lactation with the followed downward trend. Differences between groups in lifetime productivity during research amounted to 16 992 kg. The significant superiority of the heifers with high grown intensity above equal age animals for the duration of feed and water eating, physiological functions and lying. The analysis of variation coefficient is confirmed the observed regularities.

DescriptionIn the article, we have revealed the efficiency of foliar sulfur (potassium sulfate 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 g/ha), molybdenum (celik molybdenum 125, 250, 500 and 1000 ml/ha) and boron (solubor DF 0,5, 1,0, 2,0 and 4,0 kg/ha) fertilizers in various doses of soybean growing on the leached black soil of Northern Ciscaucasia which are based on studies in central part of the Krasnodar region in 2012-2014. The Vilan is a soybean variety most common in the Krasnodar region; therefore it was taken as the research object. It was established that 250 g/ha is the most effective dose of sulphur fertilizer. It’s provided a yield increase by 0,13 t/ha and increase collection of protein and oil (52,9 and 21.1 kg/ha, respectively). Soybean yields were increased by the application of molybdenum fertilizer in a dose of 250 ml/ha by 0,10 t/ha with increasing collection of protein 45,8 kg/ha. Boron fertilizer increased sum of beans and seeds. Variant of 0.5 kg/ha provided yield increase of 0.08 t/ha, but it was 0.26 t/ha in dry 2014

IMPACT OF AN AMENDMENT FOR SOIL STRUCTURE IMPROVING ON SOIL AT SPRINKLING
06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
DescriptionThe article presents the research results of the impact of amendment improving soil structure on soil upon sprinkler irrigation of agricultural lands. It is proposed to use artificial aggregation of soil for water erosion control via composition of structure-forming materials. The developed composition includes slagheap rock, bentonitic clay, claydite screenings, and shell limestone. Adjusted analytical relations of the impact of the amendment on runoff coefficient depending on the intensity of artificial rain upon irrigation of agricultural lands, slope, and water permeability have been revealed. Regression analysis of spectral surfaces has shown that slope of irrigation site has a significant impact on the increasing of runoff coefficient values, while correlation coefficient equals to 0.97. Water permeability has negative correlation, -0.85, with increasing the values of runoff coefficient. The relation between runoff coefficient and intensity of artificial rain is less strong, 0.89. We have determined that applying of the given amendment provides decreasing of runoff coefficient by 15 % depending on the slope of irrigation site, and by 20 % depending on rain intensity. Experts in the field of land reclamation can use obtained analytical relations for predicting surface soil loss when estimating the efficiency of amendment applying to control soil erosion activities at agricultural lands

MODERN TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANIC AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION. GERMAN EXPERIENCE
06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
DescriptionThe organic agriculture is an important issue for sustainable development and food quality production. For this reason we analyzed the data on land use in organic production and the volume of the market for organic products in Europe and Russia. The motivation of farmers and the driving factors for the transition to organic farming methods in developed countries and the role of subsidies have been shown. The analysis of the state of organic production in Germany has been carried out. In 2013, Germany reported 23484 organic farms, which represent 8.2% of agricultural production and the total cultivated area 1,045 Mio. ha. In organic production are involved 9 national associations with their own logos, integrated by 12250 farms (52.2%), and the remaining 11 234 biofarms (47.8%) use the EU-bio logo. Over the past years there has been observed a significant increase in organic livestock production; e.g. during 2007-2012 milk, poultry meat and eggs production were increased by 58.3, 60,6 and 108.7% respectively. Price of bio eggs in November 2014 was 55.6% higher than in free-range system and 100% higher than in floor housing system. Obviously, organic production is an efficient production system capable of ensuring the economic well-being of rural areas. For further expansion of this sector in Russia is necessary to develop the economic incentives, which encourage conversion from conventional, farming to organic production. Also, it is necessary to raise awareness of producers and consumers about the quality of organic products
