Анотація
Фізіологія і патологія відтворення свійських кішок – актуальний напрям досліджень у ветеринарній репродуктології. З одного боку, особливості репродуктивної здатності кішок сприяють надмірному поширенню даного виду за рахунок безконтрольного відтворення і появи особин з цілорічною статевою циклічністю. Напроти, існує велика кількість проблем, обумовлених появою патологічних станів на різних етапах процесу відтворення. Діагностика статевої системи кішок дозволяє встановити фазу статевого циклу або вагітність, оцінити її перебіг, стан плодів, визначити їх вік і потенціал життєздатності, своєчасно виявити патологічні стани і диференціювати їх. Дистоції (патологічні роди) і метропатії – основні фактори кішок, їх лікування і профілактика потребують подальших досліджень, адже збереження життя кішки і кошенят в процесі родів, а також хворих самиць не завжди дозволяє зберегти їх відтворну здатність. Покращення відтворної здатності домашньої кішки і програми репродукції диких котячих мають включати біотехнологічні досягнення сучасності – ембріотрансфер. Перспективними є методи забору яйцеклітин під ультразвуковим контролем. Таким чином, репродуктивна здатність свійських кішок – складна, багатогранна галузь з великою кількістю актуальних проблем.
