Morphofunctional features of the shoulder joint muscles of the black Pushkin sable

Abstract

Muscles play an important role in the life of fur-bearing animals, due to the fact that they ensure their survival both in the wild and in conditions with limited mobility and cellular maintenance. However, with cellular maintenance in animal farms, the natural physiological and behavioral needs of sables are sharply limited, which leads to serious changes in their muscular system. Physical inactivity caused by cramped cells, lack of running, jumping, climbing on simulated devices, all this provokes skeletal muscle atrophy, especially affecting the limbs. All these facts indicate a decrease in strength and endurance, as well as impaired coordination of movements. Knowledge of the morphofunctional features of muscles helps in the breeding and breeding of black Pushkin sables, as well as in understanding their behavior and biology. The purpose of the study was to study the morphofunctional features of the shoulder joint muscles of the black Pushkin sable breed with the establishment of morphometric data. Males of the black Pushkin sable breed aged three years and weighing 1250-1300 g were selected as the object of the study. To study morphofunctional features, a set of measures was carried out, including classical research methods: fine anatomical dissection, morphometry, photographing. Thus, the morphofunctional features of the shoulder joint muscles of the black Pushkin sable were studied with the establishment of morphometric data. The study of these characteristics contributes to a deeper understanding of the biology and ecology of this species, as the morphofunctional features of the shoulder joint muscles of the Black Pushkin sable play a key role in its adaptation to the environment, providing the necessary mechanisms for protection and movement.
