Features of the skeleton of the girdle of the pelvic limb of the sable of the Black Pushkin breed in the age aspect

Abstract

The study of the main morphophysiological parameters of mammalian loco- motor apparatus organs in the age aspect is an important and urgent problem for modern biology and morphology. The development and formation of the pelvic limb skeleton are determined by the living conditions of animals. Fur-bearing animals of natural populations have progressive and harmonious growth and development of long tubular bones in propor- tion to age, but the conditions of the cellular regime make significant adjustments to the morphogenetic transformations of the studied somatic system. The purpose of the study is to study the features of the skeleton of the pelvic limb belt bones of the sable of the black Pushkin breed in the age aspect and to establish the morphometric characteristics of this area. The study was conducted at the Department of Animal Anatomy of the St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine. Cadaver material for the study was delivered to the Department of Animal Anatomy of the St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine from the fur farming of the Leningrad region. The objects for this study were the corpses of the black Pushkin sable breed of two age groups: 15-20 months from birth (physi- ological maturity) and 36-40 months from birth (puberty) in the amount of eight pieces in each group. To achieve this task, a complex of traditional anatomical research methods was used: fine anatomical dissection, maceration, photographing and morphometry. When describing anatomical terms, the International Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (fifth edition) was used. The measurement was carried out with an electronic vernier caliper Orbit OT-INM02 with a division scale of 0.01 mm, manufactured in Russia. The features of the skeleton of the pelvic limb girdle in the age aspect and morphometric characteristics of the bones of this area in the sable of the black Pushkin breed are established
