According to the results of retrospective monitoring studies, it was established that starting from 2015, the number of cattle farms where animals that reacted positively to PPD-tuberculin were isolated by the allergic method decreased by 1.98 times. At the same time, the number of cattle decreased proportionally (by 1.95 times). A total of 1,486 farms where non-specific allergic reactions to tuberculin in animals were found during the research period. The largest number of cows reacting positively to tuberculin was isolated from the farms of the Kyiv, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, and Khmelnytsky regions of Ukraine. During the reporting period (2021-23), 34 cultures of atypical mycobacteria were isolated from biomaterial from cattle and environmental objects. Isolated cultures were identified as atypical mycobacteria of 4 species (M. fortuitum (12), M. avium-intracellularae complex (15), M. phlei (5), M. scrofulaceum (2)). The method of accelerated simultaneous allergic test for intravital diagnosis of tuberculosis in cattle has been developed. According to the results of the study of its effectiveness, it was established that the use of the new method allows for 80 % healthy productive animals to be kept in groups, as well as for (30-45) days to shorten the period of comprehensive diagnosis of tuberculosis.
