Mahtmatical model - the prognosis of the epizootic process of VLKRS infection in spontaneous conditions
The prognosis of the epizootic process of cattle leucosis was based on the biological balance of the stock volume in the populations of the specific specie (via natural or artificial reproduction) as well as on the parameters of incidences and intensively of affected animals, established in various Belarusian farms. The main criteria of the prognosis are the initial level of incidences, initial and final stages of infection of the population within a year and the percent of the stock reproduction. The mathematical models considered characterize the epizootic process of cattle leucosis as a dynamically developing system with ups and downs, deviations in the parameters of incidences, intensity of infection, number of healthy and ill animals, number of incoming and disappearing animals.

Economically useful and biologic peculiarities of pigs in crossings and hybridization.
The article studies the influence of two- and three- way crossing and hybridization on the commercial and biological properties of pigs (LW, BM, BBN and D breeds). LW pigs were used as controls. It was found that owing to geterosis fattening ability and carcass quality of hybrid and cross bred progeny had been improved by 5,7- 9%. Crossbred sows (LWxBM) mated to boars gave progeny of higher quality than control ones, which allowed to have an extra profit at about $291,05 per sow per year (16,4% higher than in control group). Pigs of this genotype have more valuable meat by its physical, chemical and consumable properties.

Using whey in the diets of calves
The efficiency of using the concentrated acidofill whey (containing 20% of dry matter) and hydrolyzed whey enriched with lactates HWEL-1-40 (containing 40% of dry matter) is studied in the article. The study was conducted using the black-and-white calves. In addition to the main diet the animals of the 1st group were given HWEL-1-40 (2,5 g/kg of body weight) and the animals of the 2nd group were given concentrated (20%) acidofill whey. As the result of this the feeding ability grew by 3,8% and 4,5% respectively (in comparison with the control group). Using grain additives resulted in the growth of the daily gain by 9,8% and 6,2% respectively. The feed consumption per 100 kg of gain was lowered to 4,2% and 1,4% respectively. During the study the digestion was normal.

The combined harvest of flax: prospects and ways of development
The most considerable losses of the flax crop occur during realization of harvest work. It is possible to lower them to a minimum by using the harvesters (50%) and separate harvest (50%) technologies. In this way separate harvest deseeding is made under two circuits: both in field and on fax mill. The preparation of flax at the combined harvest is carried out on rolled technology and only in extreme weather conditions it can be carried out in sheaves with machine formation of portions for cones. In the Republic of Belarus the base complex of machines for such harvest has been created. Mechanized harvest groups at the flax mills are the important organizational principle of the development of the combined rolled flax harvesting.

The prerequisites for the development of the mathematical model of heat supply to the spring-summer green house
In Belarus is spring and autumns the daylight hours are quite long. When using solar energy for plastic greenhouse heating we must take into consideration variation of incoming solar energy during the day, dependence upon state of atmosphere. In this case it is expedient to include a subsoil heat accumulator in the heating system for it to store the heat energy. The derived analytical expression allows also choosing a material for manufacturing subsoil heat accumulators to be installed in greenhouses.
