Abstract

In the modern agricultural sector, the statistics of liver pathologies in productive animals has become an important topic of study. Liver pathologies can have a serious impact on animal health and productivity, which has a negative impact on the economic health of agricultural enterprises. Despite the fact that many works have been devoted to the study of hepatopathies, there is little statistical data on their prevalence. Therefore, in this work we tried to summarize the available data on the statistics of the spread of hepatopathy among productive animals. To achieve this goal, we used a retrospective analysis of domestic and foreign sources presented in specialized databases. Compared to other animals, the spread of hepatopathy among cattle has been most studied. The available data on hepatopathies in sheep, pigs and aquaculture facilities were also reviewed. Statistics on the spread of hepatopathy among to be supplemented and systematized, as was done in the Czech Republic, where information collected over 12 years was assessed. The spread of hepatopathy among MRS is an issue little studied by domestic and foreign researchers. The study of the prevalence of hepatopathy among sows and piglets in Russia is in desperate need of fresh data. Research on fish liver pathologies in Russia also needs to be replenished.
