To prevent travel sickness in livestock breeding, the use of probiotic preparations, which are safe and biologically pure products, is a new direction. The aim of the study is to find out the clinical manifestation of transport disease, indicators of weight and safety of imported ruminant livestock, as well as to calculate the economic damage after their transportation. The object of research are ruminants imported into farms of the Amur region. It has been revealed that while travel sickness prevention by probiotic preparation "Intestevit-TM" signs of disturbance of general condition, metabolism and behavioral activity are shown in cows in 85.0; 35.0 and 15% of cases, and in small ruminants in 45.4; 25.2 and 55,0% of cases respectively. Reduction of live weight at application of probiotic preparation to animals is 16.0% less than in the control group. When analyzing the dynamics of the weight of small ruminants, it has been revealed that more well-fed animals (41 and more) are more difficult to bear long transportation, the weight of such animals decreases by 8.8 kg (by 21%), which can be detrimental to them. The total decrease in the weight of all small horned cattle during transportation during 11 days was 14% (395 kg), which entailed economic damage from under-receipt of meat products. It was determined that the more days transportation lasts, the less safety of animals and more intensively manifest signs of transport disease bringing great economic damage to livestock farms.
