Police dogs handlers’ and trainers’ opinions on Labrador retrievers (n=87) and German shepherds (n=96) trained for drugs vs. explosives detection have been compared. As most important traits in both specialties the responders indicated: (1) willingness to sniff objects, (2) concentration (focusing) ability, (3) acuity of smell and (4) willingness to bring an object back to a person. Only trainers...
Patrilineal phylogeny of Beichuan White goat and other domestic Bovidae was inferred from 5´-UTR and coding region of SRY gene. Variation analysis revealed 208 variable sites, meanwhile, a 50-bp fragment inserted downstream of the initiation codon (ATG) of SRY genes modified the translational initiation process in Bos and Bubalus, while the mechanism of what should be explained in a further study...
Forty ostriches were raised in five groups [control (C) or with 4% (L4) or 8% (L8) linseed, or 5% (R5) or 10% (R10) rapeseed in the diet]. Linseed supplementation (L4 and L8) improved the nutritive value of the ostrich meat by increasing (P<0.001) the α-linolenic acid content (>4.2%FAtotal) and PUFA/SFA ratio (>1.0) as compared with the control group (1.7% FAtotal and <0.94, α-linolenic...
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of relocation from a tie-stall barn to the facility with free-stall housing on adaptation of cows measured by behaviours latency and lenghts of the first episodes. Cows were observed at 10-min intervals for 48 hours after relocation on the first and second days. Second parity cows and non-pregnant cows lied down sooner than those in the first lactation...
Investigated was the effect of isomerised grapeseed oil supplementation on carcass composition and body fat in lambs and fat content of their meat. Grapeseed oil alkaline isomerisation and crystallisation with urea resulted in synthesis of conjugated dienes amounting to linoleic acid (CLA) 77.6% FFA. The enrichment of fattening lambs´ rations with the additive at 18 g/animal/day did not influence...
Among equestrians the “natural” training methods of horses are gaining widespread popularity due to their spectacular efficiency. Underlying philosophy of trainers - founders of different “natural horsemanship training” (NHT) schools, along with other not well documented statements includes argumentation of solely welfare- and human-friendly effects of NHT in the horse. The aim of this review was...
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of slaughter age of broiler chickens on macromineral levels of breast and leg muscles and their association with meat quality. Used were fast-growing Hybro chickens kept on litter and fed the uniform diet. Ten chickens weighing 2 kg each were selected for slaughter at 35, 38 and 42 day of life. Breast and leg muscles were evaluated for pH,colour (CIELAB),...
The objective of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of Ovalbumin-LHRH-7 (OL) protein when injected in crude, purified, free or encapsulated forms and using a single vaccination protocol along with CpG, inulin and saponin adjuvants. Fifty six C57BL/6 mice in seven groups (n=8) received various treatments and doses: Group 1 was control; Group 2 and 3 were injected twice with purified or crude...
