USAU student - winner of the All-Russian scientific competition

Evgenia Zinchenko took 1st place in the All-Russian competition for the best scientific work among students and young scientists from universities of the Ministry of Agriculture of RUSSIA.

The research of a 4th year student of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Expertise of the Ural Agrarian State University is devoted to the comparative veterinary and sanitary examination of oysters (scientific supervisor - G. Goroshnikova, Ph.D., Associate Professor).

“Oysters are popular in restaurants and are eaten raw, so high quality is very important. We conducted a veterinary and sanitary examination of oysters and compared foreign and domestic mollusks. This topic has been little studied in Russia. We checked the oysters for organoleptic characteristics, for parasitic diseases and microbiological contamination, and also did cytological studies . All oysters met the standards, although some had minor deviations,” said Evgenia Zinchenko, winner of the All-Russian competition of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, 4th year student at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Expertise of the USAU.
