Functional state of the reproductive system of ewes, which determines their multiple pregnancy, is closely related to homeostatic processes, which can be assessed by the level of bioelectric potential of superficially localized biologically active centers (LBP of SLBACs). The purpose of the work is to develop a method for early diagnostics of multiple pregnancies in ewes, by studying the LBP of the SLBACs of ewes and their reproduction rate - multiple pregnancies, as well as studying the growing capacity of offsprings of young animals obtained from experienced ewes. The object of the study was ewes of the Romanov breed. As a result of the research and analysis of the data obtained, a straight-line relationship between the LBP of the SLBACs of ewes and their multiple pregnancies was established. The results of the control young sheep breeding of the Romanov breed obtained from the ewes with different LBP of SLBACs showed that the lambs obtained from the ewes with a low LBP of the SLBACs had the highest growing capacity. However, the ewes with a high biopotential level produce significantly more offspring, which allows increasing the level of mutton production and the profitability of the industry. On the basis of the data obtained, a method for early diagnosis of multiple pregnancies in sheep according to the LBP of the SLBACs of ewes before the mating campaign was developed.
