The aim of the study was to determine trends for genetic and production parameters in a population of New Hampshire N-11 laying hens over 8 generations. Individual performance testing included body weight at 33 weeks of age (g), egg weight at 30 weeks of age (g), age at puberty expressed as days of age at first egg (days), and number of eggs laid to 39 weeks of age. As a result of implementing the...
The aim of this study was evaluation of the quality of ejaculates of boars from Duroc and Pietrain breeds, and also crossbreeds born in different seasons. Materials used for the study were gathered during the process of breeding boars. There were 143 boars of breeds Duroc, Pietrain and their crossbreeds (Duroc x Pietrain and Pietrain x Duroc). The 20 442 of boars’ ejaculates were examined between...
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of animal handling, defined as the so-called human factor, on the level of reproductive parameters of female mink.We analyzed some reproductive parameters of 6 348 one- and two-year-old Scanbrown females, such as fertility, prolificacy and rate of rearing the young. Mink were divided into four groups; group I and II consisted of one-year-old females,...
The aim of this study was the evaluation of the growth of broiler chickens and their slaughter value from 1 to 42 days of age. The research material consisted of the Ross 308 chickens. At 42 days of rearing, the chickens reached the mean final body weight of 2229.9 g. During successive weeks of rearing, the weight of all elements, i.e. giblets, inedible parts and offal, increased with an increasing...
The libido of a boar is a very important factor which determines the male’s suitability for insemination. Before a breeder is included in the semen production cycle, its libido has to be estimated, which may significantly contribute to the improvement of the organization of work in breeding stations.Many factors influence a boar’s libido.Among others, it is the male’s age and breed. In this work the...
The aim of the researches was to compare meat performance of fattening bulls and culled cows of Montbeliarde and Polish Holstein-Friesian breeds as well as to estimate their influence on income value. In the researches 97 bulls and 68 cows were taken under consideration. Data consisted of: breed, age, live weight, carcass weight and EUROP classification. For calculating income value of cows and fattening...
Atotal of 203White Improved goats from a farm in Rożnów (Kujawsko-Pomorskie province) were investigated in 2007–2009. The study attempted to simplify the current goat milk recording scheme and make it more accurate by shortening of the evaluation time and finding optimumlactationmonths for recording. In order to reach this aim, coefficients of phenotypic correlation were calculated using the multiple...
Sixty pearl grey guinea fowl were investigated. Birds were kept in a closed facility without regard to sex. For the first three weeks, guinea fowl were kept in boxes on plastic mesh floor, and then in straw-bedded pens. They were fed commercial mash diets for turkeys or hens. At the end of 13 and 52 weeks of age, body weight was determined and birds selected for slaughter were subjected to body measurements...
This research was carried out to determine the effects of bacterial silage inoculant using as silage additives on the fermentation charakteristics, cell wall contents and aerobic stability of maize silages. Maize silage was harvested in the 89 (BBCH) developmental ripening stage. Biological additive was used as additive which contains Enterococcus faecium PCM 1858, Pediococcus acidilactici PAL-34,...
Based on the results of milk performance of lactating cows, 15 659 Black-and-White with varied addition of HF genes was evaluated in the course of lactation milk production depending on the length of the dry period before the full lactations investigated. Breast plotted curves according to selected groups of animals Wood’s model. The average milk yield of ECM, the study population was: 6 573 kg of...
The study was conducted on two family farms (herdsAand B). The experimental materials comprised Polish Holstein-Friesian cattle raised in 2006–2009. The objective of this study was to compare SCC, the yield and composition of milk from Holstein-Friesian Black-and-White cows kept in the tie-stall and free-stall system for four years. The analysis indicates that cows housed in a tie-stall barn (herdA)...
During the summer season, plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) inArabian,Anglo-Arabian and Hucul horses as well as colts and fillies were higher compared to the winter season. Significant differences in IGF-I concentration between the seasons were found in Hucul horses (P≤0.01) and in colts (P≤0.05). Season had no significant effect on 1.25(OH)2-D3 concentration in the horse...
