METHOD FOR ASSESSING STRESS RESISTANCE IN PIGS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A01K67/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to veterinary science and agriculture. The method provides pig's blood analysis for the following values: malondialdehyde MDA, antioxidant activity AOA, total oxidative activity of blood plasma TOA, catalase activity CT, superoxide dismutase SOD. The two-month pigs having MDA 6.02±0.13 absorption unit/ml and less, AOA 60.86±0.31% and more, TOA 71.64±0.16% and less, CT 57.30±1.05 absorption unit/ml min and more, SOD 14.57±0.44 absorption unit/ml and more are considered to be stress-resistant PSS "-"; the values of MDA 7.63±0.07 absorption unit/ml and more, AOA 50.22±0.42% and less, TOA 79.21±0.83% and more, CT 47.16±1.08 absorption unit/ml min and less, SOD 10.49±0.49 absorption unit/ml and less enables stating the pigs as stress-sensitive PSS "+". The six-month pigs having MDA 7.37±0.17 absorption unit/ml and less, AOA 61.93±0.25% and more, TOA 41.86±0.19% and less, CT 76.68±0.74 absorption unit/ml min and more, SOD 22.80±0.68 absorption unit/ml and more are considered to be stress-resistant PSS "-"; the values of MDA 8.05±0.09 absorption unit/ml and more, AOA 59.72±0.17% and less, TOA 46.21±0.09% and more, CT 71.76±0.51 absorption unit/ml min and less, SOD 19.91±0.59 absorption unit/ml and less enables stating the pigs as stress-sensitive PSS "+".

EFFECT: method enables the high-accuracy stress resistance assessment of the two- and six-month pigs.
