Studies upon structure of gender and age as well as body weight of partridges were carried out in the Lublin Upland in 1988 and 2015, different in relation to the levels of these animals population density. These features were evaluated in 104 individuals culled in early October. Nearly four-fold decrease in the population density of this species was recorded between the compared periods. Over 80-fold decrease in the hunting acquisition of partridge occurred the same period. A decrease in the share of females in the population after the breeding period was also found, which probably resulted from an increase in this gender mortality during the breeding season. Proportions of the number of juveniles to adult animals (2.4 and 1.7), and to adult males (4.0 and 1.7) in two subsequent study years, i.e. indicators of the young partridges production, did not differ significantly, but it could be mainly due to a small sample in the latter year. The gender structure of juvenile partridges was 0.94 male per female in 1988 and 0.71 male per female in 2015, which did not significantly differ between periods (χ2 = 0.178). Among adult individuals, 1.5 male per female were recorded in 1988, while only males were reported in 2015. Body weight of young partridges decreased between the years of research by 22.5 g, i.e. 6%, while adult animals by 12.5 g, which indicates the decrease in bird size, and thus the individual condition, presumably due to limited food resources. Differences in body weight between periods were statistically significant only at young animals. Such situation can cause enhanced mortality of young partridges in autumn and winter, therefore worsen the existing regress in this species population. The results confirmed that the previous assessment of the causes of the decline in partridges population in Poland, showing an increase in losses during the breeding season, as the main demographic mechanism, were valid also for the second decade of the 21st century. It follows that improving the environmental conditions during the breeding season, besides reducing the number of predators, should be an essential part of the partridge active protec-","PeriodicalId":413804,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences- SGGW Animal Science","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129690535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Homologies and homeologies between human and pig chromosomes enabled human painting probes to be used for identification of chromosomes involved in homozygous centric fusion in the wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa) with karyotype 36,XY,rob(15;17), which had been provisionally determined on the basis of G-bands (GTG technique). For interspecies hybridizations two commercial differently labelled human painting probes for chromosome pairs 2 and 20 were used. FISH with the human WCP 20 probe revealed green fluorescence signals on the short arms of the 15;17 translocated chromosomes, and after hybridization with the WCP 2 yellow signals were observed along the long arms of these rearranged acrocentric autosomes as well as on small fragments of the SSC3q arms. The results of cross-species hybridizations in situ have confirmed preliminary cytogenetic evaluation of the karyotype of the Robertsonian translocation-carrying wild boar as well as numerous homologies and homeologies between chromosomes of human and species (Sus scrofa domestica and Sus scrofa scrofa) belonging to the Suidae family.

The aim of the study was to determine the level of animal welfare on dairy farms in Poland and to compare the measured parameters with the cross-compliance requirements. The study was conducted on 46 farms in the winter season. The microclimate measurements such as air moisture content, concentrations of selected air pollutants and the brightness of the room has been taken. A comparison of cattle housing systems on bedding and on the slatted floor has been examined. The barns were divided into four groups, depending on the size of the herd: 10–20 cows (12 barns), 21–40 cows (22 barns), 41–60 cows (7 barns), and 100–180 cows (5 barns), respectively. The largest group consisted of haerds housing 21–40 cows, which represented 48% of all herds involved in the study. Of all the barns that used slatted floors or bedding, we selected three largest herds each in order to compare hygienic parameters between both types of housing. The main findings were as follows: (1) the concentration of selected air pollutants in most of the barns did not deviate from the recommendations of the (Polish) National Research Institute of Animal Production; (2) the concentration of selected air pollutants was lower in barns where the cattle was kept on slatted floors; (3) the cattle housed on slatted floors also had better lighting conditions; (4) smaller herds of dairy cows were found to have relative air humidity conditions; (5) in 81% of farms, air humidity in the premises remained within the animal welfare standards.","PeriodicalId":413804,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences- SGGW Animal Science","volume":"27 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120883742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
