Abstract

The article presents the results of studies aimed at the veterinary and sanitary assessment of slaughter products during the toxic effect of dioxin on the body of sheep. It is shown that the intake of dioxin in small doses causes a change in metabolic processes and is accompanied by a decrease in the total protein, albumin, glucose and total calcium in the blood, an increase in the content of urea, amylase and triglycerides. It should be noted that a change in metabolic processes that are catabolic in nature is accompanied by an increase in the content of AST, total bilirubin, GGT, creatinine, LDH, cholesterol and a decrease in ALT. It was found that the use of dioxin in a dose of 1/200 LD50 has a more pronounced character relative to the dose of 1/400 LD50 and affects the quality of the meat of hunted sheep both in organoleptic and biochemical parameters.
