Plasma relaxin, estrogens and progestogens concentration in coldblooded and hot-blood mares in the second half of gestation.

Monitoring estrogens, progestogens, and relaxin plasma concentration can be important for determining pregnancies at risk of failure in mares. However, significant breed-related differences in values of reproductive hormones are known, and data concerning coldblooded (CB) mares are missing. The aim of the study was to determine and compare serum relaxin, estrone sulphate (E1S), estradiol-17β (E2), and progestogens concentration in pregnant CB and hot-blood (HB) mares during the second half of gestation.

Wild Duck () as a Source of Antibiotic-Resistant subsp. O58-The First Report in Poland.

The "One Health" approach increasingly demonstrates the global spread of pathogenic microorganisms and their antimicrobial resistance in the environment, both in animals and humans. subsp. is nowadays very often isolated from cold-blooded reptiles to a lesser extent from sheep, but unfortunately more and more often from humans.

Predicting the risk of infestation in wild boar on the basis of environmental factors.

is an emerging parasite that poses a potential risk for those consuming game, pork, snails and frogs. One paratenic host of that is known to play an important role in its spread through its feeding habitats is the wild boar. However, no statistical analysis of the influence of aquatic environments and carnivores on the occurrence of in wild boars has yet been performed.

A comparison of detection methods of mesocercariae in wild boar () meat.

(DMS), the mesocercariae of , is typically found accidently during examination of wild boar meat for spp. The aim of the study was to compare DMS detection methods. Briefly, 232 wild boar meat samples were tested by mesocercariae migration technique (AMT) as a reference method; of these, 104 were found to be positive.

The occurrence of mesocercariae in wild boars () in north-eastern Poland.

Various species of mammals, including humans and wild boars, can serve as paratenic hosts of mesocercariae - (DMS). Cases of DMS can be reliably detected by the recent introduction of the mesocercariae migration technique (AMT). The aim of this study is to present current data on the occurrence of DMS in wild boars in north-eastern Poland, and to compare the findings with those obtained in other European countries.

Selenium, Copper, and Zinc Concentrations in the Raw and Processed Meat of Edible Land Snails Harvested in Poland.

Introduction: The objective of the present research was to carry out a comparative assessment of copper, zinc, and selenium concentrations in the meat of edible land snails collected in Poland (, and ), as well as to determine the effect of preliminary processing of Roman snails () on the content of the aforementioned elements.

Material And Methods: In the first stage, determinations were made on unprocessed snail meat. In the second stage, the study focused on Roman snails and consisted in an additional evaluation of frozen meat after full processing.
