Yatsenko I. Structural parameters of skeleton mammals as object in veterinary expertise in determing of species origin of biologicals substance

Dissertation is devoted to study the structural parameters of mammal skeleton (domestic rabbit, grey hare, stepper marmot, coypu, domestic cat, Arctic fox) when defining species belonging of biological material. Technology of osteological researches in connection with the prerious condition of the bony material has been developed and scientifically grounded for the first time by the complex of investigation methods (comparatively anatomical, ostheomethrical discriminal analysis, spectroscopical) of small animal bones (rabbits, hares, coypu, marmots, cats and Arctic fox). The algorithm of investigation has been worked out. It has been proved that to restore the species belonging in any previous condition of the bony material is possible. It has been shown that species differenciation of bones on the level of their anatomical integrity or slight injury is possible by osteoscopic or comparateve anatomical methods, in the case of slight injury and in absence of characteristical anatomic features of the bony material by the ostometrical method and by the discriminant analysis, on the level of considerable injury (small or burnt fragments without distinctive anatomical structures, power like condition - method of intra red spectoscopy). Methodology of formation and use of osteometrical computer technologies in forensic veterinary examination is being developed. Original computer programmes "Osteo" and "Discriminant" on the basis of anatomical and osteometrical parameters of small animals bony skeleton are offered.
