The pike-perch (Sander lucioperca L.) at the age of 18 days were fed for 21 days using three different diets: Agio Norse (An), casein-gelatin (Cas), cod meal with gelatin (Mac) and nauplius Artemia salina (Art - control diet). On the last day of the experiment, fish fed Art and An diets had the statistically significant highest body mass, length, and survival. On the last day, the highest aminopeptidase...
The study was aimed at estimating species composition and abundance of entomopathogenic fungi in the Chojnowski Landscape park. The effect of site, season (spring, summer, autumn) and temperature on the frequency of isolation of entomopathogenic fungi was also analysed. The effect of the first two factors was estimated based on the analysis of soil samples taken from meadow 1, forest 1 and orchard...
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of the inclusion of the vegetal and animal fat to the diet on the apparent digestibility in chinchillas. 18 young chinchillas were assigned to three groups and fed control diet or with the addition of either linseed (VF) or lard (AF). The apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) was calculated for dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude...
The aim of the work was to analyze the changes in the population of Sus scrofa L. in the selected voivodeships in Poland in the years 2000-2011 and to determine their direction, with consideration of hunting and level of utilization. The data for analysis were obtained from Research Station of the Polish Hunting Association (PZŁ) in Czempiń. There was found the increase in population of wild boar...
Experimental model in ovo. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignancy in the brain and confers a uniformly poor prognosis. Despite decades of research on the topic, limited progress has been made to improve the poor survival associated with this disease, new therapeutic strategies are still needed. The application of nanotechnology to disease treatment, diagnosis, monitoring,...
This study was aimed at comparing production results of laying hens kept in two types of cages: furnished cages and conventional cages. It covered the period from the 36th till the 54th week of hens life that was divided into two experimental stages: stage I - from week 36 till week 44, and stage II - from week 46 to week 54. Till week 44, 190 layers were reared in groups (10 hens each) in furnished...
Ocena efektywności probiotyku jako czynnika poprawiającego wyniki tuczu królików. Celem badań było określenie wpływu dodatku Bacillus cereus var. toyoi, jako czynnika probiotycznego, na wyniki tuczu młodych królików. W doświadczeniu zastosowano poziom 400 mg preparatu na 1 kg paszy w żywieniu królików z grupy doświadczalnej (EG, grupa liczyła 32 osobniki). Grupa kontrolna (CG, licząca 34 osobniki)...
The study was aimed at selecting species and strains of entomopathogenic nematodes to be used in practical control of the housefly in stables, which should provide welfare of bred animals. Test insect, the housefly, and entomopathogenic nematodes of the family Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae were used in experiments. Laboratory strains of nematodes and those commercially available in Poland...
The purpose of the studies was to determine the number of piglets born (NPB) and reared until 21 day (NPR) by the sows of Polish Landrace and Polish Large White breeds, differing in the number of teats. For calculations, the results from breeding pig houses of the Mazovian region, collected during the years 2004-2009, were employed. Three groups of females were distinguished for the particular breeds:...
Calving course of 100 cows of Limousine breed covered by bulls of the same breed as well as 100 cows of Polish Holstein-Friesian breed inseminated with Limousine bull's semen was investigated. In purebred population the material was taken from the beef cattle recording scheme provided by the Polish Association of Beef Cattle Breeders and Producers. In case of commercial crossing the material was taken...
Sensitivity of imagines and larvae of the lesser mealworm to selected species and strains of entomopathogenic nematodes was studied in a pine sawdust litter on which chicken were kept from one to six weeks according to their production cycle (Niemiec 1998). The following nematode species and strains were used: S. feltiae from bioinsecticides Ovinema and Nemaplus, S. affinis, S. carpocapsae and H....
Breeding of (outbred) selective lines of laboratory mouse was initiated in Warsaw University of Life Sciences about 40 years ago. It bred Heavy (C) and Light (L) mice selected opposite for body weight at weaning (21st day of life), S mice line selected for higher testes weight, and control (K) mice without selection. All lines have identical genetic background, but different directions of selections...
The experiment was conducted on 930 slow-growing chickens from the crossing of a Cobb male and Greenleg Partridge female. The chicks were randomly assigned to two groups: control (BW) which did not have access to a free run and the experimental group (W) using the grassy runs from 4 weeks of age. The experiment showed a statistical effect of sex on breast (P < 0.01) and leg (P < 0.05) muscle...
The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of nanodiamond (ND) particles on rats health status. 1 mg/kg b.w. of nanodiamond particles was administrated intravenously and intraperitoneum. The presence of an adverse impact was examined. The results show significant changes in biochemical (glucose and total protein level decrease) and hematological (elevated platelets count)...
The soil is a habitat for many entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) all over the world. The Galleria bait method has been chosen to isolate the EPF from soil samples. The common occurrence of EPF in agricultural land was confirmed by these studies, which concluded, that the soil of Cape Verde is a habitat for EPF, such as Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae. The presence of B. bassiana was recorded...
The study was conducted to examine slaughter parameters of three genotypes of meat type chicken: F1 crossbred derived from crossing of light hen of indigenous breed Greenleg Partridge with heavy meat type cocks, F2 crossbred being an effect of re-crossing obtained crossbred C x GP with meat type males and medium growing Hubbard JA 957, designed for a longer, 9-week production. Chicken were reared...
The experiment was carried out on 936 slow-growing chickens from the crossbreed of Cobb cock with Greenleg Partridge hen. Chicks were randomly divided into two groups: controlled group (BW) with no access to the field and experimental group (W) with access to grass fields since their fourth week of life. In blood serum overall cholesterol, lipoproteins with high density (HDL), triacylglycerols (TG)...
The study was aimed at testing the density effect in the tropical house cricket breeding on its survival and growth rate when fed ad libitum. The tropical house crickets were kept in nine containers of a volume of 81 litres each. Three experimental variants were used: 7.5 ml of crickets were placed in the first container, 15 ml in the second and 30 ml in the third. Temperature in containers was 29°C,...
An inventory studies on Microlepidoptera were performed in 2008 on meadows neighbouring the then planned War-saw-Modlin Airport. The studies revealed the occurrence of 165 species representing 26 families in the area including 37 species first noted in Masovian Province. Species that deserve special attention due to a low number of sites in Poland include: Depressaria pimpinellae (Zeller, 1839), Scythris...
The aim of the presented study was to evaluate the reductive activity of antioxidants in the presence of carbon manufactured by Radio Frequency Plasma Activated Chemical Vapor Deposition method (RF PACVD). 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method was employed to estimate antioxidants reductive potential. Based on the experimental results, the antioxidant activity of carbon colloid was not confirmed...
