The work of the "Animal Physiology" student group is online

            On September 22, a meeting of the "Animal Physiology" circle was held online. The topic of the lesson is the study of typological features of higher nervous activity and tone of the autonomic nervous system in animals (methodology). Modern effective management of animal husbandry is impossible without scientific substantiation of the physiological processes that occur in the body of animals.

     The basis for the activity of the circle is the interdepartmental educational and scientific laboratory of veterinary diagnostic research, which is a structural subdivision of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and operates as part of the Department of Animal Biochemistry and Physiology named after Acad. M.F. Gulogo is equipped with modern equipment, the laboratory is headed by candidate of biological sciences, associate professor V.I. Tsvilikhovskyi, the educational-scientific-production Clinical Center "Vetmedservice" and the Ukrainian laboratory of quality and safety of agricultural products. 

     A brief description of the strength, balance, and mobility of nervous processes according to the methodology developed by the department was considered and given. The essence of the method is to observe the animal's behavior and reaction to the experimenter; the reaction of a hungry animal to feeding; unexpected sensory stimuli and formation of conditioned reflexes. Currently, Gurtkivsi are engaged in the development of physiological methods of correction of adaptive and compensatory processes in the body of animals by studying their higher nervous activity, metabolism, electrical activity of the brain with the use of natural adaptogenic drugs.
