Abstract. The specificity of digestion and assimilation of feed nutrients, in which the diversity of protozoan endobiont fauna plays an important role, is of great importance for the normal functioning of physiological processes in the animal organism. The purpose of this research was to study the species composition of endobiont infusoria and to make a comparative analysis of the diversity of symbiofauna of native Yakut, crossbred and Simmental cattle bred in Yakutia. The technology of rearing and feeding of these groups of cattle differs in the fact that crossbred and Simmental cattle are housed in typical heated cattle sheds, feeding is carried out according to the norms for dairy cattle. Yakut cattle are housed in unheated cattle sheds with the organization of watering of animals in winter from an ice hole, the food consists only of mixed grass hay, mixed fodder is given only in the first months of calving. A total of 31 species of infusoria belonging to 9 genera were isolated in Yakut cattle bred under conditions of scanty low-nutrient feeding, whereas 18 species of infusoria belonging to 9 genera and 16 species of 8 genera were found in crossbred and Simmental cattle, respectively. At the same time, 13 species of infusoria were found in Yakut cattle, which are found only in animals of this breed, including Charonina ventriculi, one of the rare species of infusoria, 8 species of infusoria are common, found in all animals.
