Abstract. Antenatal malnutrition is a condition characterized by both a weight loss in animals and a change in the morphofunctional characteristics of the internal organs, particularly the incompleteness of the thyroid gland structure that will have a direct impact on the further growth and development of animals. Therefore, the aim of the research was to establish the patterns of histostructure of the thyroid gland inhypotrophic piglets and piglets after prenatal correction of hypotrophy considering their age. The study was performed on piglets of the large white breed. The study material was the thyroid gland of hypotrophic piglets and piglets after prenatal correction with Sedimin at 1, 5, 15 and 30 days of age. The main methods of study: histological, morphometric and statistical data processing.
According to the research results, a thickening of the connective tissue capsule of the thyroid gland in newborns and five-day-old hypotrophic piglets was established in relation to fifteen and thirty-day-old ones. The average diameter of the follicle is at a relatively equal level during all periods of the study, the colloid acquired a "foamy" appearance on the fifth and fifteenth day. The form of thyrocytes and their nuclei changed with age from flattened to cubic.
Cell-tissue composition of the thyroid gland of piglets after prenatal correction of malnutrition is functionally active. On the first and fifth days the capsule of the organ was thinned, by the end of the study its thickness increased markedly. The diameter of the follicles of the thyroid gland decreased from the neonatal period to the thirtieth day. Throughout the experiment, the structure of the colloid changed in the follicle lumen from homogeneous consistency to "frothy" by the end of the experiment. At the beginning of the experiment, both flattened and cubic-shape epithelial cells were observed in the parenchyma of the thyroid gland, by the thirtieth day it was stably cubic. The nuclei of thyrocytes are mostly spherical and hypochromic.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that in hypotrophic piglets in the neonatal period and in the five-day age, the incompleteness of the structure of the thyroid gland was observed, the further morphological reorganization reached by the thirtieth day. The medication "Sedimin" had a positive effect on the body of pigs, reducing the degree of development of malnutrition and contributing to the adequate organo-and histogenesis, including the thyroid gland.

INTRODUCTION
Hypotrophy is a disease of newborn piglets, characterized by underdevelopment, low live weight and low resistance to adverse environmental factors. The etiology of antenatal malnutrition is associated with a violation of the norms of feeding pregnant sows, the occurrence of metabolic disturbances in them causes toxicosis of gestation and results in fetal toxicosis and hypoxia, metabolic disorders in fetus, weakening of the
differentiation of the tissues and organs of the fetus, which all in all lead to morphological and functional immaturity of piglets [1, 2]. Antenatal hypotrophy is characterized by a lag in the growth of individual organs, the underdevelopment of internal organs can manifest as a decrease in their absolute mass, and anstructural inferiority of their parenchyma (cell immaturity, insufficient differentiation), which leads to a decrease in reactivity, metabolic pathologies and toxicosis [3—5]. One of the important organs responsible for the growth and development of the fetus is thyroid gland, a cell-tissue composition of which is directly expressed in its functional ability [4, 6—8]. Prenatal prevention of malnutrition is timely formation of tissues and organs, with their further inclusion in metabolic processes, such organs include the thyroid gland, whose thyroid hormones directly affect metabolism [9—11].
The aim of the study is to establish the patterns of histostructures of the thyroid gland in hypotrophic piglets after prenatal correction of hypotrophy considering age.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Scientific research was carried out on large white breed piglets on the basis of APC "Pokrovsky" of the Orenburg region and the Department of morphology, physiology and pathology of Orenburg State Agrarian University. Two groups of animals were formed: the first is the control of malnutrition, and the second is the piglets after the prenatal prevention of malnutrition with Sedimin. The object of the study was the thyroid gland from piglets at the age of 1, 5, 15 and 30 days. Histological, morpho-metric and statistical research methods were used.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The histoarchitecture of the thyroid gland of day-old hypotrophic piglets is relatively homogeneous (Fig. 1). The thickness of the connective tissue organ capsule was — 42.03 ± 12.60 microns. In the parenchyma of the gland, spherical follicles were viewed, with a diameter (0 — diameter) — 5.98 ± 0.48 ^m. In the follicle lumen colloid is pink, layered, homogeneous consistency. Locally, resorptive vacuoles were observed in the colloid. Thyrocytes (height — 0.70 ± 0.06 p,m) are flattened, the structure of the cytoplasm is not visualized, the hyperchromic nuclei are flat, the nucleoli are not visualized (0 — 0.38 ± 0.04 p,m, NPR = 0.54). The vascular bed is filled with blood.

CONCLUSIONS
Thus, the analysis showed that on the first and fifth days the hypotrophic piglets thyroid gland had a thickening of the capsule, a decrease in the diameter of the follicles and thyrocytes and the flattening of their nuclei in comparisonwith the piglets after the use of the Sedimin complex medication. By the fifteenth and thirtieth days, the micro-morphology of the thyroid gland of piglets of both groups was characterized as functionally active, the morphometry of the structural components of the thyroid gland showed a decrease in the thickness of the capsule and an increase in the size of follicles, thyrocytes and their nuclei.
The drug "Sedimin" had a positive effect on the formation of the parenchyma of the thyroid gland of piglets in all age periods. Histoarchitecture of the thyroid gland of piglets in a state of hypotrophy was characterized as hypofunctionalon the first and fifth days, but histophysiology was restored to thirty-day age.

Недостаточное поступление питательных веществ является условием, характеризующимся как потерей веса у животных, так и изменением морфофункциональных характеристик внутренних органов, особенно неполнотой структуры щитовидной железы, которая будет иметь прямое влияние на дальнейший рост и развитие животных. Поэтому целью исследования было установить закономерности гистоструктуры щитовидной железы у гипотрофических поросят и поросят после пренаталь-
ной коррекции гипотрофии с учетом их возраста. Исследование проводилось на поросятах большой белой породы. Изучаемым материалом была щитовидная железа гипотрофических поросят и поросят после пренатальной коррекции с Седиминым в возрасте 1, 5, 15 и 30 дней. Основные методы исследования: гистологическая, морфометрическая и статистическая обработка данных.
По результатам исследования было установлено утолщение капсулы соединительной ткани щитовидной железы у новорожденных и пятидневных гипотрофических поросят в отношении пятнадцати и тридцатидневных. Средний диаметр фолликула находится на относительно равном уровне в течение всех периодов исследования, коллоид приобрел «пенистую» внешность на пятый и пятнадцатый день. Форма тироцитов и их ядер менялась с возрастом от сплющенного до кубического.
Функционально активна клеточная ткань щитовидной железы поросят после пренатальной коррекции недоедания. В первый и пятый дни капсула органа была разбавлена, и к концу исследования ее толщина заметно увеличилась. Диаметр фолликулов щитовидной железы снижался с нео-натального периода до тридцатого дня. На протяжении всего эксперимента структура коллоида изменялась в просвете фолликула от однородной консистенции до «пенистого» к концу эксперимента. В начале эксперимента в паренхиме щитовидной железы наблюдались как сплющенные, так и кубические эпителиальные клетки, на тридцатый день они были стабильно кубическими. Ядры тироцитов в основном сферические и гипохромные.
В заключение следует отметить, что у гипотрофических поросят в неонатальном периоде и в пятидневный период наблюдалась неполнота структуры щитовидной железы, дальнейшая морфологическая реорганизация достигалась к тридцатому дню. Лекарство «Седимин» оказало положительное влияние на организм свиней, уменьшило степень развития недоедания и способствовало адекватному органо-гистогенезу, включая щитовидную железу.
