Summary. As part of the work to form a cluster of beef cattle breeding in 2013, several shipments of the Kalmyk cattle were brought to the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) from the Republic of Kalmykia. To assess the adaptive qualities of the Kalmyk cattle to the conditions of Yakutia, studies were carried out on 3 groups of cows: group I – cows imported from the Republic of Kalmykia (n = 75), II – cows-descendants of the first generation (n = 28) and group III – cows-descendants II generation (n = 16) obtained in Yakutia. The age of cows during the selection of biosubstrates was 2.3-8.0 years, live weight – 480.4 ± 13.8 kg.

In the course of research, the elemental status and hematological parameters of Kalmyk cattle in the conditions of Yakutia were studied. Hair was sampled in March 2019. The elemental composition of hair was studied according to 25 indicators by atomic emission and mass spectrometry (AES-ICP and MS-ICP).

It is established that the elemental status of animals in the process of adaptation to the conditions of Yakutia underwent significant changes. The elemental status of cows from generation I was characterized by an increase in the exchange pools of Ca, Na, K, I, Mn, Zn, B, Sr against the background of a decrease in Hg relative to animals imported from Kalmykia. In turn, the elemental status of descendants of the second generation of cows, in contrast to the first generation, was characterized by an increase in the level of Cu and Zn, with a decrease in the amount of Cr, Si, Pb.

The study of hematological parameters revealed significant changes. So, in cows from generation to generation there is an increase in the content of red blood cells and lymphocytes with a decrease in the content of the average volume of red blood cells and hemoglobin in a single red blood cell.

Key words: cattle, cows, Kalmyk breed, adaptation, chemical elements, wool (hair), blood, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
