Research and innovation activities
indexResearch work of the department staff of the Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology Faculty is designed to ensure the production of high quality livestock products using the latest methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of farm animals.
Medicinal preparations were developed and obtained, fundamentally new ways of treating animals were proposed. Their use can increase the efficiency of conducting diagnostic, therapeutic, preventive measures and the resistance of animals to diseases and have a positive impact on increasing of the production of livestock products and improving of their quality.
Federal programs are being implemented:
- "Monitoring of the epizootic situation and prevention of parasitic diseases of animals on farms of different types (03.04.01 DZ; 03.04.03 D 2);
- programs of fundamental and priority applied research to improve scientific development of agriculture of the Russian Federation (Veterinary medicine);
- State-budget state program "Meat" (Technology of animal product production);
- breeding plant for sheep rearing of Volgograd breed (JSC "Petropavlovskoye" of Novouzensky District), breeding reproducer of Kazakh white head breed of cattle (Farm "Vostok" of Novouzensky District), small innovative enterprise LLC VolgaPlemConsalting" were created under the leadership and personal involvement of the head of the "Technology of Production of Livestock Products and Breeding" department, doctor of agricultural sciences, professor, Honored Worker of Science Lushnikov V.P.
LLC "Center of industrial fish farming" was created under the leadership of the head of "Feeding, zoohygiene and aquaculture" department, doctor of agricultural sciences, professor, Vasiliev A.A.
In order to develop creativity and creative thinking, to broaden knowledge and scientific outlook of students scientific work is included in the educational process, as well as is performed outside the classroom at the departments of the faculty – SRSW (Scientific Research Student Work), and in the educational process – ERSW (Educational Research Student Work) is included in the curricula, guided by which each department organized scientific student circles.
Annually Olympiads and scientific student conferences are held. The students of the faculty actively participate in scientific conferences at Universities of other cities (Ulyanovsk, Moscow, Belgorod, Kazan and others), and make reports at the Moscow International Veterinary Congress.
Science project for participation in All-Russian competition of scientific programs "Living systems" presented by the staff from the Obstetrics and Surgery departments of FSBEI HPE "Saratov State Agrarian University” and the Research Institute of Measuring Instrumentation was recognized as the winner. The grant amount was 18 000 000 roubles.
