Innovative activity

    Today, the department's scientific developments are widely implemented in production. Among them: new antimicrobial, biological preparations and disinfectants - ethonium, thionium (lomaden), dodeconium; probiotics - bacterin-SL, monosporin-PC and sporolact; new bio-oxidizing metal-silicate compounds - vetazol, vodosol, sanapin, enterosorbents - Envent-1, Envent-2, also received 15 copyright certificates and 7 patents, 2 licenses for the sale of СССР (coniferous chlorophyll-carotene paste) and proteflazid. The results of fundamental research on the epizootology of rabies, leukemia and tuberculosis of cattle became the basis of two instructions: Instructions on the prevention and recovery of cattle from leukemia and Instructions on the prevention and control of animal tuberculosis, which were approved by the State Committee of Veterinary Medicine of Ukraine.
The department is actively engaged in the study of animal rabies issues in Ukraine, in particular, the development of a system of epizootic surveillance and control of rabies. This system will be developed and improved in order to adapt it to the study and surveillance of the most important infectious diseases common to humans and animals. The basis for this was the research of the department's employees within the framework of the scientific research topic "Development of tools for diagnosis and control of immunogenicity of vaccines against rabies in animals" No. 110/525. The result of this topic was the development of a system for the diagnosis of rabies and its implementation in state regional laboratories of veterinary medicine and research institutions, which ensured the receipt of additional funds in the state budget of the country and brought diagnostics to a new level.
Employees of the department also created and developed the research topic "Development of the methodology of epizootic monitoring of particularly dangerous and emergent animal diseases" No. 110/500, the main purpose of which is the development of the methodology of epizootic monitoring of particularly dangerous transboundary and emergent animal diseases based on the creation of a unified conceptual approach to systematic research and analysis of these diseases.
The obtained results of the research made it possible to develop a methodology based not only on the general principles of epizootological research, but also on modern special approaches: descriptive, analytical, evidential epizootology. This makes it possible to more objectively analyze the potential risks of transboundary and emerging diseases at the population level, to systematize and synthesize the results of research, which allows to create a unified conceptual approach to their control in the world.
The scientific and pedagogical staff develops and implements new technologies of training, veterinary accounting and automated document management based on the use of modern information technologies. The development of geo-information systems for the veterinary medicine service is underway. Thus, in 2015, the Department of Epizootology and Organization of Veterinary Affairs developed an electronic information resource: "African swine fever" (https://www.asf.vet.ua/) and a distance learning course for veterinary medicine specialists of Ukraine: "Stop ASF!". The resource was created with the aim of informing veterinary medicine specialists, pig owners, pig farms with different levels of biosecurity, farmers, hunters, butchers, transporters and ordinary citizens about the state and degree of ASF threat in Ukraine and the world, the features of its recognition, prevention and elimination in case of emergence and familiarization with advanced experience in the organization of anti-epizootic measures. It includes GIS components that ensure comfortable data entry into the system with their subsequent visualization and provides active cooperation of veterinary medicine doctors with owners of animals and controlled objects.
