Aleksandrs JEMELJANOVS
Born: February 5, 1938, Riga, Latvia
Interests:
- High Quality, Safe, Unpolluted, Healthy Meat, Milk, and
Eggs
- Domestic and Wild Animals Welfare, Dieseases,
Zooantroponosis, Treatment
- Theoretical Motivation of Animal Food Production and Risk
Factors
- Pathology of Reproductive System
- Andrology
- Microbiology
- Veterinary Pathogenetics
- Bio-preparations and Medicines from Plants
- Organic Farming
We dedicated several years for elaboration of ecological
safety and for improvement of plant and animal products quality.
Investigations on animal food products' quality, safety, possible contamination level,
especially in healthy food aspect, are carried out. The risk factors in chain: soil -
plants (fodder)- animals - [diseases - treatment] - products - transport - processing -
realization were analysed and measures for non desirable elimination of expressions
were elaborated.
We investigated pathology of animals reproductive
organs, particularly andrology, by determining etiopathogenetical significance of
microbiological, mycological, morphological and other disturbances. The possible
prophylactic treatment was also investigated. Determination of heredity factor and
predisposition levels as well as elaboration of measures for restriction of diseases of
animals were carried out.
Theoretical motivation and technological solution for the
development of attenuated, mutant vaccine against salmonellosis, as well as
Staph. aureus and Strept.agalactiae vaccines against mastitis and new kinds of plant
medicines for animals treatment in organic farming were elaborated .
The production of measles serum is developed and
elaboration of vaccine will be completed soon.
