Covid19KOVALENKO VIKTOR FEDOROVYCH
(01.01.1940–02.10.2012)
The famous Ukrainian scientist in the field of pig breeding was born on January 1, 1940 in the village of Vlasivka, Globynsky district, Poltava region, into a peasant family. A year later, the family moved to the village of Andriyivka, Novosanjary district, where Viktor Fedorovich spent his childhood, which fell on the difficult war and post-war periods. After graduating from the local seven-year school in 1954, he entered the Andriyiv Zootechnical College.
Four years later, after graduating from the college, he was assigned to the Scientific Research Institute of Animal Husbandry "Askania-Nova", where he worked for a year as a technician in the pig breeding department before entering the zootechnical faculty of the Poltava Agricultural Institute.
After graduating from the Institute with honors in 1964, he began his scientific career at the Poltava Research Institute of Pig Breeding, where he studied in graduate school during 1965–1968 under the guidance of the outstanding biologist, academician O. V. Kvasnytsky. In 1969, Viktor Fedorovych successfully defended his PhD thesis on the topic "Study of the composition of the embryotroph in sows" at the Poltava Agricultural Institute, receiving the degree of Candidate of Biological Sciences.
Further scientific activity of Kovalenko V. F. was connected with the physiology laboratory of the Poltava Research Institute of Pig Breeding, where he went from a junior research associate to the head of the laboratory. During this period, during 1972–1974, Viktor Fedorovych headed the department of industrial pork production at the state farm-combined enterprise "Kalytyansky" of the Poltava Research Institute of Pig Breeding of the Kyiv region. In 1974 he was awarded the academic title of senior research associate.
In 1987, Kovalenko V. F. was appointed Deputy Director for Scientific Work of the Institute.
Viktor Fedorovych's scientific research, devoted to the in-depth study of theoretical and practical aspects of the physiology of pig reproduction, was the basis for his doctoral dissertation, the defense of which took place at a meeting of the specialized academic council of the Research Institute of Animal Husbandry of the Forest-Steppe and Polissya of the Ukrainian SSR in 1988.
Viktor Fedorovych Kovalenko made a significant contribution to the development of the theory and practice of industry science, especially in the problems of the physiology of farm animals and the technology of pork production. Using the most modern research methods, mostly in his own modification, he established a number of new patterns and features in the physiology of reproduction, developed new scientific provisions that are widely used in the development of new, more effective technologies for traditional and industrial pig farming.
For the first time in the world's industrial pig farming, Kovalenko V. F. proved the possibility and necessity of synchronization of oppositions and proposed a number of methods for its implementation in the conditions of production practice, proposed a number of new devices and various options for reconstruction and creation of new promising types of livestock premises and pig industrial complexes, which make it possible to significantly reduce the labor intensity of work processes and increase the efficiency of the industry. The research works carried out by him and the devices developed are distinguished by their novelty and relevance. One license, a patent, and 24 copyright certificates were issued for them.
In 1989, Kovalenko V. F. awarded the honorary title of Honored Inventor of the Ukrainian SSR.
In 1993, he was elected a corresponding member, and in 1995, an academician of the Ukrainian Academy of Agrarian Sciences in the specialty "technology of production of livestock products, biotechnology".
Based on the results of his research, Kovalenko V. F. published more than 200 scientific papers, including 12 monographs, books and brochures.
For the development and implementation of the latest biotechnologies for reproduction, multiplication and improvement of farm animals in 2004, he was awarded the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology.
Viktor Fedorovych devoted a lot of time and energy to the training of young scientists and community work. From 2001 to 2006, he headed the Department of Ecology of the Poltava Polytechnic National University named after Yu. Kondratyuk. He was a member of the expert commission of the Higher Attestation Commission, two specialized councils for the defense of doctoral and candidate theses.
He was awarded the Diploma of the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and was repeatedly awarded diplomas and medals of the VDNH.
Viktor Fedorovych Kovalenko died at the age of 73 in October 2012.
