In modern conditions the economic development of Ukraine is faced with an actual problem of business social responsibility. The concept of social responsibility though is raised in the business environment, but still has a chaotic, fragmentary and selective character. The development of the corporate social responsibility is still, unfortunately, very slow.
The concept of social responsibility consists of businesses additional commitments which the enterprises voluntarily take producing goods and services of high quality.  [3, p 216-217]. We believe that the social responsibility of business involves meeting the economic, legal, environmental and social needs. Note that the higher the level of society’s development, the more demanding the evaluation of the business social responsibility criteria is.
We believe that the strategic goal of socially responsible businesses should be primarily social investment programs for their own employees. It should provide educational programs and retraining, and the stability of wages, safety, organization of additional medical and social security workers, assistance in some critical situations.
A special feature of the social responsibility of domestic enterprises is a range of stakeholders (owners and employees of these companies) and other members of the business environment enterprises (customers, suppliers, non-profit organizations, local governments) which are not actually the subject to its social interests.
Thus, the social responsibility of business in Ukraine has not received proper distribution and has a number of peculiarities. There is a strong necessity in motivation in the field of business socially responsibility.  It is advisable to develop cooperation of businesses with the important area of social work as a professional education. This will increase the efficiency of educational services, and business revitalization process of socialization will provide a number of benefits for our country in the social, environmental and economic spheres.

Key words: social responsibility, socialization of business stakeholders, partnerships, businesses, vocational education.

The ground of global ecological problems is conducted, warning possibilities, neutralizations of ecological risks, are educed taking into account introduction of global ecological agreement. Effectiveness of adaptation approach is reasonable in guaranteeing of ecological safety of the state taking into account influence of global changes and tendencies.
It was proved that the current level of cooperation requires an adequate strategy of the international community in order to minimize environmental risks and to limit the negative impact on the ecosystem. Some important aspects of further development is the interest of the business environment in the implementation of environmental protection measures, imposing liability for environmental violations in need of strengthening control functions and increase social responsibility and environmental awareness.
The component trends of approximation strategic priorities had been identified in order to adapt to international and European legislation. It was proved that in order to preserve the environment and form ecological security of the state it is important to cooperate with international organizations in the spheres of the legislation. Approximation of Ukraine to the environmental norms of EU countries will jointly address pressing issues and provide opportunities of preserving the environment for future generations, which is a requirement of time.
Directions, constituents and terms of introduction of adaptation approach, are conditioned in guaranteeing of ecological safety of the state taking into account a depth and scales of ecological problems.

In recent years, in order to estimate farm animals breeding value, more and more attention is paid to the method of BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction). The essence of this method is using of statistical adjustment for the impact of identifiable factors.
The main purpose of this study is a comparative analysis of various algorithms of linear models to obtain reliable estimates of breeding values (EBV) of animals.
As the material for the study were used zootechnical data for 113 cows of Russian Red Steppe Breed, which were keeping in State Enterprise “Plemreproductor “Stepove” (Mykolayiv region) during the 2001-2014 years. As a dependent variable were used data of the milk yield for 305 days of the first lactation.
As randomized factors was used bull-producer’s genotype. As fixed factors – year of birth, month of calving and season of calving. Finally, as the covariance were used weight in different stages of postnatal growth, exterior measurements and the age of the first effective insemination.
It was established, that the model, which includes the effect of bulls’ genotype, as well as year of cows’ birth, unfortunately, gives unsatisfactory results. Although, when considered separately, both these factors seems to has highly likely impact. So, the assessment proved to be very sensitive to the imbalance in the using of different bulls at different times.
Using exterior indicators makes only an insignificant effect in the adjustment of estimates of breeding value. The most significant effect on the estimates of breeding value of bulls had the weight of cows at the age of first lactation and the age of the first effective insemination – in this case the EBV accuracy increases by almost in a half (from 18.3% to 32.6%).

Key words: estimated breeding value (EBV), Linear models (BLUP), dairy cow.

Temperature is the most important climatic factor that often limits the existence and geographic distribution of organisms. More than a century, there is an increase in the average temperature on the surface of the ocean. As a result, organisms have to adapt to new conditions. The first consequence of changes in environmental conditions is a displacement terms of seasonal phenomenons. The sharp warming water has a negative effect on the reproductive performance of fish, causes a heat stress, stimulates the contamination of fish parasites and infectious diseases. Because of global warming, many species of fish significantly reduced in size. The water temperature determines the sex of some species. To the end of the century the ratio of males and females of some fishs may change from the usual 50% to 75 – 98%. Thus, these species may disappear.
Increasing the ocean temperature causes migration of marine organisms. Changing ocean dynamics particularly adversely affects the those species that are not able to migrate, and leads to their death. Global warming and rising acidity of the waters of the oceans has caused the destruction of 20% of all coral reefs in the world.
An important aspect of the impact of global warming is reducing the amount of aquatic plants. This causes the reduction populations consuments – the next level trophic chain. The result is changing species composition of ecosystems and nature their functioning. Quite a lot of indirect climate effects that affect aquatic organisms, including changes chemical composition of the ocean (concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.). For example, reducing the content of oxygen in the sea water leads to a decrease in fertility and growth of marine organisms. In some cases, negative trends in marine fishery related to global warming, can be overcome through mariculture or aquamelioration.

Key words: climate change, global warming, temperature, environmental conditions, aquatic ecosystems, aquatic organisms, fishs, number of populations, seasonal phenomenons, reproductive function, migration, corals, marine fishery.

Nowadays there is a total ban on use of antibiotics and hormonal growth promoters. In this context, the importance of research aimed at studying the influence of enzymes, pre- and probiotics, etc., on the productivity of pigs, is a priority, especially for acquiring European integration..
In this regard, the purpose of our research is the study of the effect of feed supplement «Bio Plus 2B» on the physico-chemical and chemical characteristics of pigs’ meat, as well as conducting the tasting and the organoleptic evaluation of meat-fat products.
Analysis of the results of studies of the active acidity of muscle tissue of experimental animals has shown that violations of the process of maturation of carcasses were not detected.
When pre-slaughter weight 100-120 kg statistically significant differences in the content of both moisture and dry matter of the longest muscle of the back, between animals of test groups were not found. Meat obtained from pigs, which in addition to the basic diet consumed probiotic product on fat was inferior to the meat of animals which received the basic diet of 0,41 and 0,36% (P>0,95) in the feed to live weight of 100 and 120 kg respectively.
Cooked meat of pigs of experimental groups has an excellent appearance, strong smell, very delicious, with a delicate texture. Overall assessment of the quality of the broth is also quite high. It should also be noted that any foreign odors or flavors after use of probiotic in the experimental group were not registered.
The meat quality of pigs of experimental groups complies with the requirements and rules, depending on the availability in the diet of probiotic, has specific properties. Thus, the use of living spore cultures in the form of a preparation «Bio Plus 2B» influenced the improvement of physical-chemical and chemical properties of muscle tissue that improve taste and nutritional quality of meat.

Key words: pigs, probiotic, physicochemical properties of pork, a tasting of pork.

This paper analyzes zoo hygienic, technological and alimentary factors which decreases milk productivity of cows and resistance of the calves born by them. Among numerous factors determining highly-productive cows’ and calves’ health, the crucial ones are temperature and humidity, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and aliphatic amines concentration in a barn. The secret to success is in high yields, low food converse, which is genetics, particular breed, strict abidance by microclimate, special food ration for each production and group, and management. One of the key factors of calves’ health provision is the time of the first colostrums ingestion. Preclinical and hidden mastitis, obstetric and gynecological diseases damage the dairy industry greatly. To prevent acetonemia, propylene glycol glycerin and propionate should be used. A high-productive cow must be always be provided with necessary quantities of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals and to use them sparingly for physiological and productive needs. Obtaining of sanitary qualitative milk and disease prevention depends on the service staff, i. e. milking machine operators. Inadequate feeding, space, violation of sanitary conditions (insufficient air exchange, high concentration of harmful gases and microorganisms, sudden changes of temperature and humidity), lack of space and relocation causes stresses in the organisms of cows and calves, and becomes the major reason of metabolic diseases and resistance decreases. Ketosis, i. e. metabolic disease, is manifested most often in the first weeks after calving assisting by glucose deficiency in food ration.
Cows’ and calves’ non-contagious etymology diseases were analyzed. The reasons for cows’ mastitis, limb diseases, rickets were due to the influence of environmental factors (hypoxia, weakness, insolation, cut feeding) which were demonstrated. The analysis of the literature and our own research data allows us to conclude that non-contagious etymology diseases which account 80-85% cases of sick animals are widely registered at cattle farms.

Key words: cows, calves, milk production, hygiene, sanitation, factors ketoses, diarrhea, disease of hooves, atony proventriculus.

Questions about protection and normalization of the digestive system`s conditions are of current importance for poultry producers. Last time we started to use prebiotics for stimulation growing and prevention of gastrointestinal diseases in birds. Prebiotics are substances that contribute to the reproduction of intestinal beneficial microflora, which inhibit the growth and development of pathogenic bacteria, improve nutrient absorption and stimulate protective reactions. Prebiotic Aktigen was obtained from the cell walls of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is an active concentrate mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS). Actigen works effectively by the process MOS and blocks intestinal colonization by pathogenic bacteria. Actigen is a modulator of the immune system. Such action of preparation leads to normalize of mucin production that promotes healthy surface of fibers. It is necessary for better absorption of nutrients. All these leads to improve integrity of the gastrointestinal tract and effectively support of immune system. More over Actigen improves gut`s microflora.
Based on previously research of feed grain quality in the Ukrainian market, we recommended to increase the dose of Actigen from the 1-st till 21-st day of feeding. Based on the researches were found that adding of Actigen to the broiler chickens`s diet in quantity 800 g per ton from 1-st till 21-st day and 400 g of Actigen from 22-nd day till end of growing period, has positive impact on the performance. We observed increasing of live weight level on 38 g, daily average rate – 0. 9 g, safety – 1. 3% by reducing the cost of feed for 1 kg body weight increasing – 0. 03 kg. European index of efficiency of broiler chickens growing (EPEF) with Actigen using is 13 units higher. It is confirm Actigen using. The economic efficiency of Actigen using is 3 to 5 cents per head. That is why reasonable to use Actigen.

Key words: prebiotics, broiler-chickens, growing, productivity.

Research of the organic pig production potential in Southern Ukraine compared to the example of a typical farm had been done. The possibility of introducing pig production to environmentally friendly products, there is the urgency for the need to implement and further calculate production parameters. Organic agriculture is a comprehensive production management system that promotes and enhances the health of agricultural ecosystems, including biodiversity, biological cycles and biological activity of the soil, which can be achieved by using as agronomic, biological and mechanical methods as opposed to the use of synthetic materials to perform specific functions within the system. Based on these assumptions the research conducted on current issues, as they provide an analysis of organic farming in Southern Ukraine. The unilateral development of organic production in our country caused by incomplete legislative and regulatory framework that clearly outlined the state policy in the field of organic production, created the conditions for the legal recognition and protection of organic products, the formation of a national certification system, rules, standards, and clear, effective state support and incentives for organic production. Due to organic farming will be able to increase the soil fertility and generally keep them, increase the environmental safety of rural areas by reducing the number fertilizers and chemicals that are used in intensive agriculture. Also, this sector will lead to an increase in biodiversity of the environment, which in turn will contribute to the increased environmental condition. And improving environmental conditions will improve the general state of health and their immune resistance. And this is a strategic priority of the Ministry of Health that Ukraine should be interested in improving the health of the population of Ukraine. The data are of great scientific and practical importance can be used in planning new and reforming existing pig enterprises.
