The proposed scientific project is aimed at studying the effect of flaxseed feeding, which is a natural substance with a high content of phytoestrogens and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in combination with probiotic microorganisms in the form of cheese on the reproductive capacity of pigs from infectious farming. Hormonal changes in the blood of animals, morphological and histological changes of the ovaries will be monitored, and at the same time markers of proliferation and apoptosis in the follicles will be detected. The achieved results will contribute to the expansion of knowledge about the influence of the mentioned natural substances and probiotics on the organism of animals with the possibilities of their use for the improvement of reproductive indicators. The obtained results could be a contribution to the improvement of methods of reproduction regulation by additives used in animal and human medicine.
