Abstract
The aimof this study is to study the recovery processes in the thyroid gland of Russian long-haired sheep in postnatal ontogenesis.Material and methods. The material for the study was 77 rams of the Russian long-haired breed of various ages. Fragments of the thyroid gland were fixed in a 10% solution of neutral formalin, in liquids of Shtive and Buena. Thin paraffin sections with a thickness of 4–5 μm were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, azan according to Heydenhein, and the PAS-reaction was applied. The average area of all follicles in the field of view was determined at a magnification of ×80 (ob. 10; oc. 8) using G.G. Autandilov ocular grid (50 fields of viewfor each animal). Based on the obtained absolute values of the area of the follicles and the interfollicular epithelium (mm 2 ), the relative value (%) of the area of the follicles and the interfollicular epithelium was determined. Using a screw eyepiece micrometer, the diameter of the nuclei of thyrocytes in the follicles and thyrocytes of the interfollicular epithelium was measured. The area of the nuclei was determined by the diameter of the nuclei. The mitotic index (MI) in ‰ was calculated . The number of dividing cells per thousand thyrocytes was calculated. At least 20,000 cells were counted for each animal.Results.It was found that in rams aged 15 days, the area of interfollicular epithelium was 86.5%, microfollicles occupied an area of 13.5%. Dividing cells were common, with the MI of follicular and interfollicular thyrocytes being 0.19‰. In rams at the age of 2 months, the number of small follicles increased, the areaof which was 19.7%. MI in follicles increased to 0.21‰, in interfollicular epithelium it decreased to 0.16‰. In rams at the age of 4 months, the area of follicles almost doubled, the area of interfollicular epithelium decreased by 16.1%. In rams aged 2–3 years, the area of interfollicular epithelium decreased, while MI decreased and was 0.13‰ in 3-year-old animals. In rams at the age of 4 and 5 years, there was a decrease in the functional activity of thefollicles. MI in large follicles was higher than in small follicles (0.12–0.13‰ versus 0.09‰).

Summary
Целью настоящего исследования является изучение восстановительных процессов в щитовидной железе баранов русской длинношерстной породы в постнатальном онтогенезе. Материалом для исследования служили 77 баранов русской длинношерстной породы различного возраста. Определяли среднюю площадь всех фолликулов в поле зрения при увеличении ×80 (ок.[10]; об 8) с помощью окулярной сетки Г.Г. Для каждого животного подсчитывали не менее 20000 клеток. Установлено, что у баранов в возрасте 15 дней площадь интерфолликулярного эпителия составляла 86.5%, микрофолликулы занимали площадь 13.5%. У баранов в возрасте 2 месяцев увеличивалось количество мелких фолликулов, площадь которых составляла 19.7%. У баранов в возрасте 4 месяцев увеличивалась площадь фолликулов почти в два раза, площадь интерфолликулярного эпителия уменьшалась на 16.1%. У баранов в возрасте 2–3 лет уменьшалась площадь интерфолликулярного эпителия, при этом МИ снижался и составлял у 3-летних животных 0.13‰. The aim of this study is to study the recovery processes in the thyroid gland of Russian long-haired sheep in postnatal ontogenesis
