Scientific work

      Scientific activity of the Department is aimed at studying the genealogical structure of of horses thoroughbred Orlov Trotter breeds, polymorphic blood systems of Shetland pony and milk production of Novoalexandrovsky draught breed mares, breeding of queen bees and their instrumental insemination, to prevent mating with drones of unknown origin, the technology for collecting pollen and comb honey production. There takes place a work in selection and reproduction aimed on breeding of Ukrainian Khmelnitsky population bees, development of breeding type “Khmelnitsky”, and implementation of improvement methods for bee colonies productivity.
      The Department has a scientific student activities in horse breeding and beekeeping, that were appreciated by I and II degree certificates on the student festival of science. According to the results of scientific research, the students made presentations at intramural, interacademic and national conferences, won prizes and corresponding rewards. They have published more than 20 scientific works in specialized journals.
