Abstract

The paper presents the results of studying the state of non-specific cellular protection in piglets in the early postnatal period under conditions of an industrial farming. It has been established that the piglets reared under the sows who had recovered from postpartum diseases differed from the animals reared by clinically healthy sows by a reduced level of stab and segmented neutrophils (day 5), lymphocytes (day 20), monocytes, absorption and induced metabolic activity of neutrophils and increased content of eosinophils in all research periods. The data obtained indicate a weakening of the cellular link of the natural non-specific resistance of piglets reared by the sows who had recovered from postpartum diseases, and a predisposition to the development of inflammatory processes.
