The article analyzes the main factors of the negative
impact of pig farms on the environment, for the
characteristics of which are used criteria such as
emissions of ammonia, methane, nitrous oxide, dust,
loss of nitrogen and phosphorus in manure output, feed
consumption and water consumption, economic
evaluation, capital costs of reducing emissions,
operational cost. The technical level, resource and
energy consumption in the production of pork have
been analyzed in a comparative perspective. The
necessity of implementation of best available
techniques in order to ensure environmentally oriented
production growth has been provided. The importance
of the development of technology selection algorithm
and clarification the basic criteria for the selection has
been emphasized. Also, there was detected the role of
technical regulation for the prevention of excess
pollution. The necessity of a comprehensive approach
was proven for the implementation of NDT in the
framework of environmental and industrial policies.
Implementing NDT will provide the ecological
modernization of pig production, which is confirmed
by the experience of European countries, successfully
implementing the concept of NDT from the 70s of the
twentieth century. At the same time, not only
economic measures should be used (exemption from
pollution charges, grants and subsidies), but also the
administrative tools (based on a valuation of NDT,
integrated permits). Daylight technological regulation
will provide "green" economic growth and will
contribute to solving social and economic problems.
Implementation of the project is not possible without
the exchange of information, the definition of time and
economic characteristics of the implementation of
NDT, comparative analysis and classification
technologies to NDT. In 2017, it has already been
planned to publish the NDT reference "Intensive
breeding of pigs,” while the implementation of best
available technologies will become the basis of
ecological modernization of the industry. The
inclusion of the author to the technical working group
on development of the handbook "Intensive breeding
of pigs" allows to participate on-line in the discussion
of topical issues
The article presents results of the study of yield, mechanical composition and quality of bunches of newest white grapevine varieties called Artemis, Sauvignon tamanskii and Inkroche tamanskii, in the conditions of Taman in the Krasnodar region. The yield of the studied genotypes ranged from 10.4 to 13.3 t / ha: the highest yield was in Artemis, and the lowest – in Sauvignon tamanskii. The average weight of the bunch was in Sauvignon tamanskii (152 g), the variety Artemis had 143 g and Inkroche tamanskii had 130 g of bunch weight. The percentage of berries in clusters ranged from 95.3 in Artemis to 95.9 in Inkroche tamanskii and Sauvignon tamanskii. The ratio of fruit mass to the mass of crests was 20.3 in the varieties of Artemis and 23.5 in Inkroche tamanskii and Sauvignon tamanskii. In genotypes of Artemis, Sauvignon and Inkroche Taman Taman the weight of 100 berries was 200, 160 and 130 g, respectively, the mass of 100 seeds - 4.6; 3.1 and 2.9 g, the average weight of the pulp from the juice to the weight of the skin - 24.3; 19.5; 15.9. The percentage of pulp and juice in clusters of the studied varieties was 85,9-89,1%, and the ratio of pulp to juice to the solid residue 6,1-8,2. Yield of musts from the studied sample was 74,5-75,4%. The content of sugars in the berries (17,5-19,6 g / 100 cm3) was dependent on the yield, the characteristics of varieties and timing of the harvest, but the harvest was favorable for the production of beverages and wine materials
The need of improving the grain drying technology is
due to a significant volume of this operation, high
specific energy and high standards to preserve quality
of grain. In this regard, the development of new
technologies and equipment aimed at reducing the cost
of fuel and electricity, providing the preservation of
grain quality has essential meaning to reduce the
drying cost. Usually, the electrophysical effects on the
dehydrated material not only contribute to the
thickness reduction or destruction of the boundary
layers and increase the surface of phase contact, i.e.
they cause the combined effects of the intensification
of the drying process that is economically favorable
and they say for a broader practical use of
electrotechnologies. Method of grain drying using
microwave recycling in installations of active aeration
bunker type allows increasing productivity compared
with standard technology for up to 30% and reducing
process energy consumption by 17%
We have proposed the method of presowing processing of
seeds of winter wheat using a hydrophobic paraffin-wax
system of the new composition. Water protected paraffinceresin
coating has been used before for storage of garlic.
However, the paraffin coating were not applied to wheat
seeds and were not investigated their effect on
germination, growth and further development of plants of
winter wheat. This work has been done for the first time.
The ceresin wax is replaced by sunflower wax. New
component composition of the hydrophobic waterproof
coating winter wheat seeds: sunflower wax – 15-20 % wt
.; paraffin – all the rest of it. Sunflower wax is a surfaceactive
substance and has the properties of the plasticizer
and the dispersant of the dispersed structure of the
paraffin. The advantages of this coating: it protects the
seeds from moisture loss, regulates the timing of their
germination, contributes to the preservation of
accumulated nutrients, and enhances plant growth and
development; it increases the yield of wheat. In the field,
we have set growth stimulating ability of paraffin-wax
coating of winter wheat seeds of variety called Charade.
The resulting increase in yield was 20% (control of 52.6 с
/ ha), while maintaining the quality of grain. This use of
sunflower wax solves an important environmental
problem – disposal of oilseed production waste
The article is devoted to the estimation of the
dependence of perennial grass herbage’s productivity
on the dose and distribution of nitrogen fertilizers
during the vegetation, as well as from the dynamics of
the species composition by years of use. It was
revealed that for cocksfoot-timothy grass mixture an
increase in the rate of nitrogen fertilizer for every 10
kg of active ingredient leads to an increase of yield by
0.27 tons/ha. The selection of components of grass
mixtures and rational fertilizer doses forms the herbage
which provides a yield of about 7,0-12,0 tons/ha of dry
mass and 58,1-99,6 GJ of energy exchange. It is
established that competitive relations in grass mixtures
are exacerbated with increasing doses of fertilizers.
The timothy grass develops successfully in a mixture
with the cocksfoot with a low level of mineral nutrition
(N80). A high level of mineral nutrition speeds up the
formation of single-species herbage - the cocksfoot.
Meadow fescue grass provides sustainable yields on
medium and high backgrounds of mineral fertilizers in
combination with the cocksfoot. Recommendations for
a nitrogen dose of more than 200 kg per hectare for
fertilizing mixed grass crops with the cocksfoot and
about 100 kg per hectare for clover-cereals mixtures
without cocksfoot are suggested
Sorghum is cultivated in many countries of the world
on around 50 ml hectares. The main producers of
sorghum are India, Nigeria, Sudan and the USA.
Sorghum comes from equatorial Africa. India and
China are the secondary places of origin and formation.
The USA achieved great success in breeding, seedgrowing
and agro technologies of grain sorghum. In the
country sorghum occupies 14.4% of the world amount
of sowing areas; the gross yield is 40%. Sorghum
breeding on Don was started by E.S. Yakushevsky in
1938. In 1963 after a long break the work was restarted
at the Zernograd Breeding Station headed by Ya.I.
Issakov. At present the amount of sowing areas for
sorghum is constantly increasing in RF (220.3 thousand
ha in 2015). It occurs due to aridity of climate and more
frequent use of the crop as insurance. Besides, the
development of white kernel varieties gave an
opportunity to use sorghum for starch and spirit. There
are 221 varieties and hybrids of sorghum registered in
the State List. The main directions of breeding work
with grain sorghum are early maturity, suitability for
mechanical harvesting, productivity and grain quality.
The ARRIGC developed the white kernel early
maturing varieties ‘Velikan’, ‘Zernogradskoe 88’,
‘Ataman’ without necessity to be dried after harvesting,
with productivity of 8 t/ha. The main directions of breeding work with sweet sorghum are early maturity,
high intensity of initial growth, low height, resistance to
lodging, high productivity and quality of green chop.
The ARRIGC developed the varieties for fodder use
(‘Listvenit’), for spirit and treacle (‘Debyut’ and
‘Zernogradsky Yantar’). Sorghum due to origin and
varietal diversity even in dry and hot parts of the world
allow obtaining stable, high yields of grain and green
chop. This makes sorghum the leading grain-forage and
food crop
Petrovsky garden was founded in 1703 and is the most
important historical object of landscape architecture in
Petrozavodsk. Tikhon Balandin made a description and
drawing of Petrovsky garden at the beginning of the
19th century. He completed his work by studying and
measuring the fragments of the earthen fortress, blast
furnace and the location of the destroyed palace, pond
and birch garden. On the basis of the historical
documents, we created a 3D model of Petrovsky
garden using of modern computer-aided design. Threedimensional
model of the garden allows viewing the
object from different angles, gives an idea about
structure and compositions of the garden on a new
visual level. Some examples of visualization garden
fragments were presented at the article. Now the
garden doesn’t have its original structure. The
historical garden layout and 3D model of object can be
used for reconstruction of Petrovsky garden
With the possible radioactive contamination of the
territory, as a result of emergency situations at
enterprises of the nuclear fuel cycle, there occurs a
task of further use of the soil for agricultural purposes.
Researches on the cultivation on contaminated areas of
fruit plants in the conditions of the Krasnodar region
were not carried out. As a result of the experiment in
the field we received experimental material on
migration and 90Sr accumulation in vegetative and
generative organs of cherry-plum. Research lasted for
8 years. The accumulation of 90Sr, placed on the
surface of the soil, in the bark, wood, leaves, and fruit
was 7,0×102
; 4,8×102
; 9,7×102
and 1.8 ×102Bq/kg.
With the penetration of 90Sr in soil at 50 cm
accumulation in the bark, wood, leaves, and fruit were:
5,1×102
; 3,0×102
; 6,9×102
; 1,4×102Bq/kg. The
experimental material obtained in the field makes it
possible to calculate the coefficients of the nuclide
transition from polluted soil to the various organs of
the studied plant and to make a forecast of the possible
use of contaminated areas for the cultivation of fruit
crops. Radioactive contaminated areas cannot be left
without proper control, since, firstly, non-planted
fields are exposed to wind and water erosion of soils,
which leads to rapid and large-scale pollution of the
environment and, secondly, if it is possible to obtain
products from such fields, this should be done for
economic reasons
The results of the study of physiological and biochemical parameters of plum plants, changing when infecting plants Plum pox potyvirus (PPV) are shown. It was found that the infected leaves at the stage of full development of the content chlorophyll a reduced by 30 % in variety Stanley and by 6 % in Kabardinskaya rannaya, chlorophyll b in less than 49 % at Stanley, 37% in Kabardinskaya rannaya, carotenoids are less than 22 % in the variety Stanley and by 11% in the variety Kabardinskaya rannaya . Leaves infected with the virus pox (PPV), in comparison with not infected, the amount of protein were decreasing: in the variety Stanley by 21 %, in the variety Kabardinskaya rannaya by 28 %. In the period of active growth of the leaves change in the content of pigments and protein is more intense. The content of lignin in the tissues of leaves, infected with the virus pox (PPV), in comparison with not infected in the variety Stanley was below on 13 % and in the variety Kabardinskaya rannaya - 8 %. The total content of water of infected tissue on the stage of a full-time development is reduced in patients leaves as compared with not infected 11 % in the variety Stanley and by 1 % in the variety of Kabardinskaya rannaya. Throughout the period of development of foliage studied parameters vary depending on the variety
To improve the quality, safety and competitiveness
of the domestic raw materials of animal origin the
use of probiotics in the poultry industry is a priority
and promising direction of the development of
organic agriculture. One of the key problems of the
production of probiotics is to provide actively
stable preparations. Biocompatibility of the
indigenous microflora with probiotics, medical
form and individual range of antibacterial activity
of probiotics have a significant impact on the
introduction of probiotics in new habitat conditions
and its effectiveness. Consideration of these factors
can enhance the effectiveness of probiotics.
Currently, the available literature has insufficient
justification of certain doses of administration and
methods of using different probiotic preparations.
The materials present and summarize the results of
the research concerning the use of probiotics in the
poultry industry, based on the achievements of
Russian and foreign scientists. In addition, based
on the analysis of various sources of scientific
literature, we suggest ways to solve the problem of
probiotic therapy and give some recommendations
on the organization of the technological process of
selection and application of different probiotics in
poultryfeeding. Raw meat from poultry reared with
the use of probiotic preparations is safe, because
metabolites of probiotic microorganisms are not
accumulate in the body tissues. Researches of
biosynthesis regularities of probiotics were made at
the cellular level, including genetic aspects,
features of regulation of secretion, dependence on
the cultivation conditions, interaction with binding
sites on the cell surface, participation in the vital
activity of the population of individual cells. The
use of probiotics contributes to normalization of
the intestinal microflora, activation of protein
metabolism, productivity increase, reduction of
feed costs per unit of production and increasing of
poultry industry economic efficiency as a whole
