Genetic progress and health implications in swine breeding
The first pig was domesticated thousands of years ago, but the greatest rate of genetic changes in swine breeding received emphasis in the 20th century, especially in the 1950s. Initially, the selection index included daily gains, feed conversion rate (FCR), meat content (lean percentage and meat quality) in a carcass and backfat thickness. As a result of selection, based on several swine generations, strengthening of production parameters in certain breeds was obtained, and new lines, found especially useful for cross-breeding of pigs destined for production on a commercial scale, resulted. The reports on Dutch Landrace breed show that over a period of 60 years (1930 – 1990) daily gains increased from 500g/day to 840g/day, whereas feed conversion rate (FCR) decreased from 3.5kg to 2.8kg and almost a two-fold decrease (from 45mm to 24mm) in backfat thickness was observed. Since the 1990s, cytogenetics and molecular genetics as well as advanced statistical methods have been commonly applied in pig breeding. Improvements in molecular genetics provided new tools for testing the presence of gene mutations responsible for major phenotypic variation of quantitative traits and genes responsible for animal resistance/susceptibility to diseases ...

Occurrence and characteristics of chicken breast muscles with DPM symptoms
Deep pectoral myopathy (DPM) in m. pectoralis minor is a degeneration occurring in turkeys and broiler chickens. In Poland data were published only on DPM in meat-type turkey breeder hens. However, incidence of DPM was found in chickens slaughtered at week 6 – 7. The number of such cases is growing with an increased intensification of genetic selection for heavy weight of the breast muscle in chickens. Characteristics of muscles with DPM symptoms in stage I include reddening of muscles with haemorrhages or blood extravasations. In stage II muscle colour from red turns to green, while in the final (III) stage the colour is whitish grey. Texture of DPM muscles is also changed as a result of occurring necrosis. The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of occurrence of DPM symptoms in chickens under Polish conditions, where at present the most commonly used genetic lines are Ross 308 and Cobb 500, slaughtered at the age of 37- 45 days. Chickens from 15 poultry farms ... [full text...]

Comparative pharmacokinetics of various sulfadoxine-trimethoprim preparations used on dogs in veterinary medicine
The first drugs to be used for the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections were sulphonamides. Today, despite the wide variety of specific drugs available for use in bacterial and parasitic infections, sulphonamides are still used extensively due to their broad spectrum, low toxicity, and ease of administration and dosage, as well as for economic reasons. Sulfadoxine-trimethoprim formulations create a synergistic interaction through the inhibition of the enzymes involved in the synthesis reaction of folic acid in bacteria and coccidia (dihydropteroat synthetase and dihydrofolate reductase). Furthermore, although these drugs generally exhibit bacteriostatic effect when administered alone, they cause bacteriocide effect upon administration in the form of a dual combination. The sulfadoxine-trimethoprim combination has a quite broad spectrum, mainly against streptococci, staphylococci, Nocardia spp., enterobacteria and certain protozoa... [full text...]

Barwna uszlachetniona

Kozy tej rasy wywodzą się od miejscowych barwnych kóz uszlachetnianych kozłami rasy barwnej niemieckiej i alpejskiej. Typowym umaszczeniem tych zwierząt jest brązowy tułów z ciemną pręgą wzdłuż linii grzbietu z wyraźnie zaznaczonymi czarnymi końcami nóg oraz czarnym zabarwieniem wokół oczu i pyska. Ich sierść jest krótka, uszy średnio długie, stojące. Zazwyczaj zwierzęta tej rasy pozbawione są rogów, ale osobniki rogate nie są dyskwalifikowane. Są mniejsze od kóz rasy białej uszlachetnionej. Odznaczają się zwartą i harmonijną budową ciała. [full text in Polish...]
