Narrow-leaved lupine in one-species sowing and agrophytocenosis
The results of three-year investigations of the action of narrow-leaved lupine. Mirtan upon different periods of sowing in one-species and mixed crops are presented. It is established that under the conditions of the central area of Belarus, postponing sowing periods of narrow-leaved lupine from III decade of April to May and I decade of June results in decreasing the periods of seedlings –budding and seedlings – blooming, a faster increase in the mass of plants, and, vice versa, in extending the period from blooming to the phase of dove-colored bean. When mixed with oats and tritycale, from early to more late periods of sowing the specific weight of the bean component grows and that of the cereal component decreases in the crop structure. From the blooming phase to the phase of dove-colored bean the crop yield of one-species and mixed sowings increases by a factor of 1.5–1.6.

Protein-balanced fodder – guarantee of the high economic efficiency of animal husbandry
The results of investigation of the comparative economic efficiency of cultivating cereal-bean cultures (pea sowing “Mellenium”, pea sowing “Aleks”, vetch spring “Udacha”, lupine narrow-leaved “Khvalko”), including those through the animal husbandry products when added to the composition of concentrated fodders obtained during 2005–2007 have shown that for the yield obtained in experiment the supernormative harvesting of digestible protein per 1 ha of sowing cereal-bean cultures is able to balance up to the norm from 15.8 to 36.9 thousand feed units of wheat, which allows one due to feeding to produce a balanced grain mixture of 20.1–40.8 tons of milk or 2.4–4.8 tons of cow meat. In this respect, more high indices are peculiar of lupine narrow-leaved. Pea sowing gives the smallest yield of animal husbandry production using this procedure of calculation.

Comparative characteristic of young stock of aberdeen-angus, black-motley and charolais cattle by productive qualities
As a result of scientific research it has been established that at the age of 6.5–7.0 months the pre-lethal alive mass of bulls of charolais breed was higher than 6.7% in comparison with those of aberdeen-angus . black-motley breed, hence, the difference in the mass of a steaming carcass has made 42.9% (Р < 0.001) for the benefit of charolais breed. The lethal mass of bulls of charolais breed has made 139.3 kg (Р < 0.001), which is by 40.8 kg more than this parameter for bulls of aberdeen-angus x black-motley breeds. By quantitative and qualitative indicators the meat of bulls of meat breed, which have been brought up according to the “cow – calf” system up to an alive mass of 210–230 kg, lays claim to a category of “milk veal” and is represented by perspective raw material for production of children’s nutrition.

Advantages of the use of organic selenium for the preventive maintenance of hyposelenosis of pigs
It is known today that selenium is one of the microelements with the essential role in the organism of animals. We have found that organic selenium has a great influence on vital parameters of the organism. In experiments with rats, sows and pigs it is established that the preparation Selenium Yeast (in quantity of 250 g/t preparation into concentrates) accelerates the growth of weight, increases hematological parameters of blood, livestock parameters of sows during pregnancy and sorts as well as of pigs in the first month of life. The use of the preparation Selenium Yeast raises a level of selenium in the tissues of sows and pigs, which improves the nutritional value of product.

Influence of infra-red laser radiation on the toxicity stability of young sturgeon fish
This article contains the information on the influence of polarized laser radiation of the near infra-red region, the wavelength of which is &#955; = 808 nm, on the toxicity stability of young sturgeon fish, when short wavelength radiation influences impregnated eggs at the stage of organogenesis. The size of the stimulating effect strongly depends on the time and the modulation of influencing radiation. So, under the optimum conditions of the influence (F = 50 Hz, &#955; = 808 nm, P = 2.9 mW/cm2, t = 60 sec) the toxicity stability is approximately by 70% and higher than in the control groups. The question of usage of the specified physical factor in the technology of cultivation of sturgeon fish in the conditions of industrial fish culture is discussed in this article.
