Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis and Bubalus carabanesis) are important animals in livestock and agricultural economy of many countries, providing milk, meat and hides along with draught power.But, despite of immense advantages buffalo is a heavily neglected animal. The real potential of buffalo has never been realized and challenges such as reduced reproductive efficiency still needed to be addressed. At...
Changes in selected FAs level as influenced by inclusion of fresh lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) into a feeding ration were assesed in Czech Fleckvieh (dual purpose) and Holstein cows. Each of the balanced groups of 12 cows in mid-lactation was fed with a ration containing 12.7 kg (11.7% of dry matter) of fresh lucerne and then with a ration with preserved forage (maize and grass silages) only. Total...
The single-step method of genomic evaluation using both a uni-trait and a multi-trait animal model was applied for 20 linear type traits of Holstein cows in the Czech Republic. Phenotypic data on linear scoring were available for 143,208 Holstein cows first calved between years 2005 to 2010. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from the Illumina BovineSNP50 BeadChipV2 (Illumina Inc., San Diego,...
There is not much research done on the influence of sympathetic training on the emotional reaction of horses. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the emotional response and the stress level in horses to two sympathetic training methods: (1) with the use of the “round pen technique” (RP),and (2) in which the RP was not applied (SH). Twenty two naive half-bred Anglo-Arab horses (2.5 years ±3...
The FecB gene has been shown to be crucial in reproduction in many sheep breeds. It is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor IB (BMPRIB)gene. The current methods for genotyping the FecB mutation are either slow and laborious or expensive. In this report, a single-step amplification approach suitable for FecB genotyping method is described. Multiplex...
Investigated were morphological and densitometric parameters of the tihiotarsal bones in White Kołuda Geese over postatal period as influenced by sex, age and bone area using dual-energy Xray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography. The study was performed on 100 bones of geese obtained from both sexes on 1, 14, 28, 42 and 56 day of life. Body weight,bone weight, bone mineral...
Studied was the activity of selected degradative enzymes of lysosomal, microsomal and cytoplasmic fraction of hepatocytes as affected by different protein levels in the diet of experimental mice. The control animals were fed with standard 16% protein level in the diet, while experimental animals with low (10%) or high (40%) protein diet. The animals were fed ad libitum. Changes in fractions depended...
Used were a total of 810 seven-day-old Japanese quails. The birds received a basal diet with three levels of two vitamins – vitamin E (ROVIMIX® E-50 SD; stable source of vitamin E in feed, DL-α Tocopheryl acetate) 60, 120 and 240 mg/kg of diet, vitamin C (ROVIMIX® Stay-C 35; stable source of vitamin C in feed, L ascorbic acid) 60, 120 and 240 mg/kg of diet. Birds were reared at 33°C during the treatment...
The objective of the research was to determine and compare the cholesterol content and fatty acid (FA) profile of muscles and abdominal fat of 17 week-old geese of Polish, native breeds – Kartuska (KA, n=18) and Lubelska (LU, n=18) maintained at the Research Station of Waterfowl Genetic Resources in Dworzyska, belonging to the National Research Institute of Animal Production in Cracow. The geese were...
