Summary. The issues of reproduction in animal husbandry in the Kuban over the past decades represent a serious problem. According to the Veterinary Department of Krasnodar region, the most characteristic reasons that influenced the lack of offspring of calves due to abortions and stillbirths are the following: keeping and feeding pregnant cows without differentiation by physiological state, prolonged physical inactivity and fodder mycotoxicosis. Mycotic abortions, which reach 11% in the structure of non-infectious abortions are one of the factors that significantly inhibits the further development of animal husbandry in the region. This condition is associated with the poor quality of feed and the ingestion of various mycotoxins in the diet. According to the Kropotkin regional veterinary laboratory mycotoxins were found in 1.5% and Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp. in 18.9% of the studied feed samples in 2020. 943 cases (11.0%) of mycotic abortion in cows were confirmed out of 8,602 examined samples in 2020. Some fungi, hitting with the feed in an organism release their toxins (aflatoxins, glucosides, etc.) into the blood. Toxins in fungi are formed during the fruiting period, when enzymatic decomposition takes place in the mycelium. During this time they are especially dangerous. It is necessary to analyze constantly the quality of feed, to prevent the ingress of poor-quality feed to animals. The most dangerous components in terms of mycotic abortions of cows are animal products (18%), grain (9.4%), haylage (8.4%). The most dangerous mycotoxins for mycotic abortions are mycotoxins DON (46.4%) and T-2 (35.7%), which together reach 82.1%. To reduce the percentage of mycotic abortions in animal husbandry, it is necessary to carry out planned medical examination with mandatory control over the quality of each component of the animals' diet.
