The article reveals the applying general methods of forensic expertise possibilities in forensic veterinary research. It is emphasized that the forensic veterinary research methods are subject to the following requirements: scientific validity, approbation, the results of their application should be obvious and obvious to all participants in the process, the use of methods and means should not degrade the honor and dignity of citizens, violate moral and ethical principles, maximum preservation of objects.
It is shown that forensic veterinary research methods include the dialectical-materialist method and logic methods, general (cognitive) methods, individual methods (instrumental and auxiliary-technical), as well as special methods, the functions of which are performed by specialized (specific) methods of solving certain expert tasks.
Such systematization, taking into account the affiliation to the general cognition methods of the comprehensive dialectical method and logic methods, is acceptable for any expert research type, including forensic veterinary research.
The research methods choice is greatly influenced by the subject, tasks, examination objects, the method effectiveness degree, which is expressed in its effectiveness, conditional efficiency, acceptability in law terms, complexity, the re-examination possibility, reliability, duration, etc. The scheme and sequence of application of research methods may vary depending on the questions posed to the decision of the forensic veterinary expert, the number and previous the objects submitted for research condition.
The special methods functions of forensic veterinary examination are performed by animal diseases clinical diagnosis and pathomorphological diagnosis methods. They are aimed at solving certain tasks inherent in forensic veterinary examination. Thus, the methods of clinical diagnosis of animal diseases are aimed at making a lifelong forensic veterinary diagnosis of a live subject with signs of injury, disease, injury, as well as determining the severity of damage to animal health and more.
Pathomorphological diagnosis methods are used to make a post-mortem forensic veterinary diagnosis, to determine the damage to animal health severity, to identify violent death signs.
