This paper presents the results of studying the effectiveness of vitamin-hormone preparations “Kagadin” and “Kaplaestrol” to prevent perinatal pathology. Sheep and goats served as material for the study as well as their lambs and kids. The animals from the experimental group, during the period of pregnancy, were fed with the carotenoid preparation “Kagadin” in a dose of 20 mg в-carotene/head/day, and 30 and 15 days before the expected lambing they were injected “Kaplaestrol” intra-abdominally at the rate of 300 units of estrogen/kg live weight/day. According to the received data, the elaborated method for preventing perinatal pathology is effective and its implementation can:enhance the vitality of the newborn animals (increasing the number of lambs and kids with a satisfactory clinical condition); b) reduce the number of animals with unsatisfactory clinical state and low development potential by11.1% and 5.4%, as well as lower sickness rate - 9.5% and 7.4% and lower mortality rate - 7.5% and 4.2%, respectively; c) prevent the occurrence of lambing hypofunction (shorter duration of the individual periods of the lambing process including: the preparation for delivery by 0.18 h for sheep and 0.14 h for goats, expulsion of the lamb by 5.17 min and 4, 14 min, and expulsion of the afterbirth by 6.43 min. and 2.50 min.respectively), and d) reduce the number of animals with the obstetric pathologies (by 8.2% and 8.7% respectively in sheep and goats).
