The relevance of this study lies in the need to determine the role of the autonomic nervous system in the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids, especially essential ones, in the body of goats, which will improve the understanding of individual metabolic characteristics in these animals. The use of established blood markers will make it possible to analyse the state of lipid metabolism in the body of goats and ensure an increase in the effectiveness of methods of its correction. The purpose of this study was to determine the specific features of the autonomic nervous system influence on the relative content of unsaturated fatty acids in goat plasma lipids. The experiment involved goats of the Zaanenska breed, of which, using electrocardiographic analysis according to the Baevsky method and depending on the tone of the autonomic nervous system, three experimental groups were formed: normotonics, sympathotonics, and vagotonics. The method of gas-liquid chromatography was used to determine the percentage of unsaturated fatty acids in goat plasma lipids. Thus, in goats with sympathotonics, which have a predominance of sympathetic nervous system activity, a high percentage of the following lipids in blood plasma was noted: linolenic (P < 0.01), cis-4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19-docosahexaenoic (P < 0.05), docosahexapentaenoic (P < 0.001), and arachidonic acids (P < 0.001) compared to normotonics. These animals also had a lower content of palmitoleic (P < 0.05) and oleic acids (P < 0.01) in plasma lipids against the background of normotonics. In vagotonic goats, in which the influence of the parasympathetic nervous system predominates, the relative content of cis-4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19-docosahexaenoic (P < 0.05), linoleic (P < 0.001) and arachidonic acids (P < 0.001) and high cis-11-eicosenoic acid (P < 0.01) in blood plasma lipids was found to be low compared to normotonic goats. The established features suggest a substantial influence of the tone of the autonomic nervous system on the quantitative redistribution of unsaturated fatty acids in the composition of goat blood plasma lipids and the need to consider them when analysing the state of the corresponding metabolism in the body, which will substantially improve not only the effectiveness of scientific research, but also its reliability.
