Features and tendencies of development of cooperation in the conditions of market economy formation
The all-round account of a set of features and tendencies of development of cooperation-integration relations in the conditions of market formation is a priority problem associated with organizing and functioning large agroindustrial structures. In this situation, the influence of new tendencies is ambiguous in character: some promote a favorable course of uniting processes (presence of factors of manufacture: lands, labor, capital and administrative structures), others limit their development (adverse investment climate, price disparity, imperfection of legislative base), the thirds act differently (natural-climatic, ecological, social). We believe that depending on particular circumstances, the same tendencies can both stimulate and hold back the uniting processes.

The influece of biofertilizer Kaliplant on the grain crop yield on albeluvisol loamy sand soil with different supply of potassium
The effect of biofertilizer Kaliplant (K-mobilizing bacteria) on grain crop yields (winter rye, spring wheat and winter triticale) was tested in field experiment on Albeluvisol loamy sand soil characterized by different levels of K-supply. Application of biofertilizer resulted in the increase of grain yields. Most effectiveness of Kaliplant was observed on soils characterized by a relative deficit of mobile potassium. Introduction of K-mobilizing bacteria was found to increase the use of different forms (water soluble, exchangeable and non-exchangeable) of soil potassium by grain crops.

Ploughing of buckwheat straw as an element of biological arable farming
The results of the comparative analysis of the ploughing of buckwheat straw with the more commonly used method of ploughing of stubble residues of this crop are presented. It has been established that the ploughing of buckwheat straw increases the yield of barley and spring wheat up to 8.1 c/ha of grain without mineral fertilizing and up to 7.1 c/ha against the background of N90P80K100 when the profitability of grain production has been increased by 17–25%. Additional application of mineral nitrogen for acceleration of decomposition of buckwheat straw is not necessary.

Influence of the levels of application of nitric and potash fertilizers on 137Cs accumulation in plants and the efficiency of grain crops
In researche on sod-podsolic sandy soil with the pollution density of 137Cs 500–660 kВk/m2 it is established that the application of potash fertilizers in a dose of 90 kg/ha leads to the receipt reduction of 137Cs in plants of barley and winter rye. Higher levels of potash food (К120 and К150) did not promote a further essential decrease in 137Cs accumulation. Nitric fertilizers led to the migration strengthening of 137Cs in the “soil-plant” system. Its more intensive receipt in plants was observed at fractional application of nitric fertilizers. A negative influence of increasing doses of nitrogen decreased against raised (К120) and high (К150) levels of application of potash fertilizers.

Efficiency of new recipes of compound feeds for test-control growing of pigs
For the test-control growing of pigs it is advisable to use as a grain base of compound feeds the first class quality fodder barley and the first class quality fodder wheat as well as the sunflower meal, the soybean meal and the fish meal – as protein resources. When making compound feeds for the test-control growing of pigs additional requirements are needed to guaranty their quality (fat content, irreplaceable amino acids content, acid number). The test-control growing of Big White pigs was conducted. The average daily gain for the state pig breeding farm “Nosovichi” was 700–864 gram, with a feed conversion of 3.03–3.64 feed units per kilogram and for the state pig breeding farm “Timonovo” it was 700–753 gram, with a feed conversion of 3.41–3.7 feed units per kilogram.

Exchange of calcium and phosphorus in brood sows with the introduction of L-carnitine into their diet
We have examined the level of calcium and phosphorus exchange in the organism of brood sows when L-carnitine has been introduced into their diet in a doze of 50 mg/kg. Sows of the experimental group have a better digestion of calcium and phosphorus and reserve them in the body. In the blood serum of sows the concentration of total calcium has been increased and supported the optimum relation between given macrocells. The calcium deposition in the body of sows of the experimental group has been grown by 34.4%, and phosphorus – by 44.5%. The reservation of calcium and phosphorus in the body of sows during gestation promotes the best provision of pigs with macrocells in the milk composition. Introducing L-carnitine into the diet of sows during the last third of pregnancy promotes the multiple pregnancy and piglet birth weight, and increases the growth rate and safety of pigs during lactation.

Genetic polymorphism of lactoproteins and the influence of locus ?Lg on the milk production indices of sheep of karakul breed
The scientific research has shown that the milk of the animals under discussion has polymorphism of the following milk proteins: ?S1Cn, ?Cn, kCn, ?Lg. In the locus ?S1Cn there are three alleles which are most typical of the type ?S1CnВ –0.9354. In the locus ?Cn there are two alleles which have been discovered in the type ?CnА with a frequency of 0.5988. The loci of the genes kCn and ?Lg are characterized by two alleles which are most often found in the type kCnА (0.7581) and ?LgА (0.6776). The population considered was at the stage of genetic equilibrium. Thus, the ascertained polymorphism can be widely used as a biochemical test to evaluate the state of the breed gene pool and also for predicting the productive qualities of these animals.

Study of age dependences of cognac products using the spectrophotometric and chromatographic data
The price of cognac products runs high with increasing the maturation time. As a result, poor goods without correspon- ding maturation time enter tu the market. The article considers different factors that influence the quality of end product and explain the identification complexity and the necessity to use complex methods of analysis of this-category alcohol-containing drinks. Age dependences of cognac products on the maturation time are evaluated from the spectrophotometric and chromatographic data. The analysis was conducted on the French and Armenian cognacs of different maturation time. Since the examined dependences show a positive correlation between component concentrations and the maturation time, more important components are phenol and furane components which are extracted from oak wood and exhibit the fact and period of contact. So, vanillin and syringaldehydes much contribute to the formation of the peak at 280 nm in the cognac, which correlates with the increase in the concentrations of these components and in the peak ranges.
