Zasekin.
3. Initiative research work “Sanitary and hygienic importance of chelated compounds, pro- and prebiotics in obtaining safe livestock products”, supervisor Doctor of Veterinary Sciences, Professor, Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine D.A. Zasekin.
Employees of the department conduct research on the following topics:
● Risk analysis during the production and processing of animal products and development of veterinary and sanitary standards to ensure their safety and quality according to modern requirements;
● Scientific provision of the production of livestock products in accordance with the requirements of the Codex Alimentarius;
● Monitoring of biological risks to ensure the production of safe products of appropriate quality;
● Determination of chemical toxicants in products of animal origin and their impact on product safety indicators;
● The effect of water-soluble form of vitamin E on the safety and quality of livestock products.
Innovative activity:
In the last 5 years the staff of the department has developed and introduced into production a number of modern ways to increase the productivity of farm animals, improve the quality of livestock products, developed a number of modern disinfectants, new technology for processing waste from livestock enterprises , based on the use of biotechnological methods of conversion of contaminants and the use of enzyme compositions, developed a number of original methods of control and optimization of methods of keeping high-yielding dairy cows under intensive technologies of milk production.
Employees of the department have developed and introduced into the practice of veterinary medicine and animal husbandry a number of scientific and practical recommendations. The application of these recommendations makes it possible to increase the productivity of farm animals, improve the quality and safety of products, and reduce the cost of processing livestock waste.
- Scientific and practical recommendations "Ecologically safe biotechnologies for animal waste processing" (2010).
- Scientific and practical recommendations "The use of lycopene biomass of the fungus Blakeslea trispora in the production of quail eggs" (2012).
- Scientific and practical recommendations "Complex technology for processing manure effluents on livestock production enterprises" (2012).
- Scientific and practical recommendations "On the use of magnetized water for broiler chickens" (2014).
- Scientific and practical recommendations “The use of "Univait" disinfectant” (2017)
- Scientific and practical recommendations "The effectiveness of the use of long-acting licking briquette "Kendilakt" in lactating cows in different biogeochemical zones of Ukraine" (2017)
