Mean body weight gains in standard mink depending on the number of kits in a litter. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of litter size from which animals came on their weight at weaning and pre - slaughter, and as a consequence also on their mean daily gains. The study was conducted on a population of 330 mink, divided into groups depending on the size of litter from which they came: I (2–4 kits) – 74 animals (44 ♂, 30♀), II (5–7 kits) – 170 animals (92 ♂, 78♀), III (8–10 kits) – 86 animals (44 ♂, 42♀). We established a significant effect of litter size on body weight at weaning and mean daily gains. Animals from smaller litters were found to have a higher body weight at weaning; whereas higher gains were observed in animals coming from bigger litters. Pre-slaughter body weight was similar in all assessed groups.

Średnie przyrosty masy ciała norek odmiany brązowej w zależności od liczebności szczeniąt w miocie. Celem badań było określenie wpływu wielkości miotu z którego pochodziły zwierzęta na ich masę przy odsadzeniu przed ubojem a w konsekwencji na średnie dobowe przyrosty. W badaniach wykorzystano populację 330 norek którą podzielono na grupy w zależności od wielkości miotu z którego pochodziły zwierzęta: I (2-4 szczeniąt) – 74 szt.(44 ♂ , 30♀), II (5-7 szczeniąt) – 170 szt. (92 ♂, 78♀), III ( 8-10 szczeniąt) – 86 szt.(44 ♂, 42♀). Stwierdzono istotny wpływ liczebności w miocie na masę ciała przy odsadzeniu i średnie przyrosty dobowe norek. Wykazano, iż zwierzęta pochodzące z mniejszych miotów charakteryzują się wyższa masą ciała przy odsadzeniu. Wyższe przyrosty natomiast zaobserwowano u osobników z bardziej licznych miotów. Masa ciała przed ubojem była zbliżona we wszystkich badanych grupach

The prolactin receptor (PRLR) gene was studied as a candidate gene for the high prolificacy of Jining Grey goats. Polymorphisms in intron 1 and intron 2 of PRLR gene were detected in high prolificacy (Jining Grey) and low prolificacy (Boer, Wendeng dairy, Liaoning Cashmere and Beijing) native goats using PCR-SSCP. For intron 1, five genotypes (AA, AH, AK, HH and HK) were identified in Jining Grey goats, and two (AA and AK) in the other four breeds. The Jining Grey does of genotype HH, HK, AH and AK delivered by 0.65, 0.62, 0.59 and 0.57 more kids (P<0.01) than those of genotype AA, respectively. For intron 2, three genotypes (CC, CD and DD) were detected in Boer goats, and two (CC and CD) in the other four breeds. The Jining Grey does of genotype CD delivered by 0.55 (P<0.01) more kids than those of genotype CC.

Factors affecting prolificacy and lambs rearing results in Olkuska sheep population. The aim of this study was to evaluate reproductive performance of the growing Olkuska sheep population and to analyse impact of a number of factors on lamb rearing results as well as the length of ewes’ utilisation in the flock. Although reproductive performance of Olkuska sheep is still at a relatively high level, recently a decrease of average prolificacy and the continuously low percentage of lambs reared have been observed. This might be related to the rapid growth of the population in the recent years and rather short flock-life of ewes, on average 3.17 years. The results of this study confirm that the size of the litter had the highest impact on lamb rearing results. Substantial differences in reproductive performance depending on the age of the dam were also observed. Despite of poor rearing of lambs born in large litters, no significant correlation between the average prolificacy of ewes in the flock and the percentage of lambs being reared was observed. The results indicate that a major influence on lamb rearing performance depends upon individual characteristics of a dam, as well as husbandry conditions in the flock and skills of the breeder.

Analiza czynników wpływających na plenność oraz odchów jagniąt w populacji owiec rasy olkuskiej. Celem niniejszej pracy było scharakteryzowanie populacji owiec olkuskich pod względem użytkowości reprodukcyjnej na przestrzeni ostatnich lat oraz analiza wpływu wybranych czynników na wyniki odchowu jagniąt oraz długość użytkowania matek w stadzie. Użytkowość reprodukcyjna owiec olkuskich kształtuje się na stosunkowo wysokim poziomie, w ostatnich latach obserwuje się jednak obniżenie poziomu plenności oraz utrzymujący się dość niski poziom odchowu jagniąt. Może to być związane z dynamicznym rozwojem populacji oraz krótkim okresem użytkowania matek w stadach wynoszącym średnio jedynie 3,17 lat. Czynnikiem, który ma największy wpływ na odchów jagniąt u owiec rasy olkuskiej, jest wielkość miotu. Obserwuje się również wyraźne zmiany w użytkowości reprodukcyjnej w zależności od wieku matki. Pomimo słabszych wyników odchowu w przypadku licznych miotów nie obserwuje się istotnej korelacji między średnią plennością matek w stadzie a poziomem odchowu jagniąt. Wskazuje to na fakt, że decydujący wpływ na odchów mają indywidualne predyspozycje matki, warunki utrzymania zwierząt oraz umiejętności hodowcy.

The material consisted of 60 hybrid boars, from line 990 (female) and Pietrain breeds (male), divided into two groups depending on the litter size in which they were born and reared - group: 7-10 piglets (average 8.8) per litter; group: 11-17 piglets (average 12.5) per litter. The mean body weight of 21 day of live piglets born and reared in larger litters was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than among boars reared in smaller litters. This difference gradually diminished and at day 63 of life both groups had the same average body weight. In the period from 63 to 180 day of life, the boars from smaller litters had a slightly lower rate of growth (statistically insignificant). Boars reared in larger litters at 180 day of life were on average 3 kg heavier. There were no significant differences in fat thickness, lean meat and testicular volume between the assessed groups of young boars. From boars reared in smaller litters ejaculates had a significantly higher (P < 0.05) sperm concentration and total sperm volume.

Materiał badawczy stanowiło 60 knurków mieszańców linii 990 (♀) i rasy pietrain (♂), podzielonych na dwie grupy w zależności od wielkości miotu, w którym się urodziły i odchowywały, grupa: (średnio 8,8 prosiąt w miocie); grupa: (średnio 12,5 prosiąt w miocie). Średnia masa ciała w 21. dniu życia knurków, urodzonych i odchowywanych w miotach większych była istotnie (P ≤ 0,05) mniejsza od knurków odchowywanych w miotach mniejszych. Ta różnica zmniejszała się w trakcie ich wzrostu i w 63. dniu życia knurki osiągnęły taką samą średnią masę ciała w obu grupach. W okresie od 63. do 180. dnia życia knurki pochodzące z mniej licznych miotów charakteryzowały się nieco niższym ale statystycznie nieistotnym tempem wzrostu. Knurki odchowywane w miotach większych w 180. dniu życia ważyły średnio 3 kg więcej. Nie wykazano istotnych różnic w zakresie grubości słoniny, mię- sności oraz wielkości jąder pomiędzy ocenianymi grupami knurków. Od knurów odchowywanych w miotach mniejszych uzyskiwano jednak ejakulaty o istotnie wyższej (P ≤ 0,05) koncentracji nasienia i ogólnej liczbie plemników.

Genetic parameters and genetic trends for the number of kits born alive (NBA), number of kits born dead (NBD) and the total number of born kits were estimated in Pannon Large rabbits. Using the REML method 12 single trait models were examined. Heritability estimates were low for all traits and ranged between 0.07-0.08 (with standard errors 0.018-0.021) for NBA (5830 records), 0.01-0.02 (0.009-0.009) for NBD (6278 records) and 0.04-0.05 (0.015-0.018) for TNB (6278 records) from 1469 does. The ratios of the permanent environmental and the phenotypic variances exceeded of the heritability estimates and ranged between 0.11-0.16(0.016-0.018) for NBA, 0.06-0.07 (0.014-0.015) for NBD and 0.11-0.17 (0.014-0.017) for TNB. When characterizing the goodness of models bias values were practically zero for all traits and models. After identifying the best fitted model (containing parity, age of the doe and year-month of kindling effects) it was extended with dominance effects. As a result, heritability estimates decreased to 0.06 (0.028) for NBA, 0.02 (0.012) for NBD and 0.02 (0.022) for TNB. The relative importance of the permanent environmental effects also decreased to 0.09 (0.031) for NBA, 0.05 (0.024) for NBD and 0.07 (0.028) for TNB. Ratios of the dominance effects exceeded those of the heritability estimates and amounted to 0.27 (0.024) for NBA, 0.05 (0.013) for NBD and 0.38 (0.025) for TNB. When compared to the additive model, the model including dominance showed some confounding with additive genetic and with permanent environmental effects and reduced calculated genetics trends (0.035 vs 0.03, -0.0017 vs -0.003 and 0.016 vs 0.01 for NBA, NBD and TNB, respectively). Spearman rank correlation coefficients between breeding values of the additive and dominance models were high for all traits (0.96-0.98). When dominance effects were included some re-ranking was observed among the top ranked animals for every trait.

Young chinchillas weight gain, depending on their body mass at birth. The aim of the study was to determine if the results of raising and growth for up to 4th months of age in chinchilla depends on body weight and the litter size at birth. There were also attempts to answer the question, when sexual dimorphism begins to be visible in young chinchillas. Males are heavier females from the first month of life in chinchilla, however up to the 4th months of age the differences are not statistically significant. During the study it was found, that young chinchillas mortality depends on their body weight at birth. When the body weight at birth is higher, the greater chances of survival of the young are. Number of puppies in the litter affects their body weight: the more young per litter are, the less average body weight is.

Wpływ urodzeniowej masy ciała na wyniki odchowu szynszyli. Celem badań było określenie, czy wyniki odchowu szynszyli do 4. miesiąca życia zależą od masy ciała i wielkości miotu przy urodzeniu. Spróbowano odpowiedzieć również na pytanie, w którym momencie rozwoju młodych zwierząt uwidacznia się dymorfizm płciowy. Od początku samce są cięższe od samic, lecz aż do 4. miesiąca życia różnica ta nie jest istotna statystycznie. Podczas badania stwierdzono zależność między urodzeniową masą ciała a śmiertelnością młodych. Większa masa ciała wpływa na większe szanse na przetrwanie. Liczba szczeniąt w miocie wpływa na ich wagę ciała: im więcej młodych, tym przeciętnie mają mniejszą masę ciała.

Parameters involved in the reproductive performance of wild boar Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758, such as fertility rates and litter size, show considerable intrapopu- lational variability. In this work we analyze a total of 198 females, culled by hunting in the Villuercas region (Cáceres, Spain), in an area with food suplementary throughout the year. The 31% of the total number of females examined, and the 47% of the female above 44 kg body weight, were in breeding condition (either gestating or lactating). There were no differences among four central months throughout the breeding period in the proportion of breeding females. Mean litter size was positively influenced by physical features of the female such as body size and weight. The month of the year (within the central breeding period) did not affect litter size. These findings indicate that reproductive decisions of females, ie whether or not to start gestation and the number of offspring in the litter, are mainly determined by their physical features.

Reciprocal translocations, very frequently identified in pigs, are the cause of fertitlity decrease. The aim of this work was to provide an objective assessment of the real effect of reciprocal translocation (7;13) on the fertility of carriers and associated economic effects. The experiment has shown that fertility, expressed as a mean litter size, decreased by 48% in comparison to that of the control group. On the basis of simulation account, financial losses incurred a translocation - as a result of using carrying boar in a commercial herd were estimated at about 8,000 USD for natural mating and at about 162,000 USD for artificial insemination. The results obtained show the need for introducing a system for cytogenetic control of boars producing small litters into the Polish swine improvement programme.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproduction results of mink females, selected for the number of kits weaned in their first reproductive season. The analysis of the reproductive efficiency in two following years indicates that such criterion of mink females selection was apparently ineffective. Slightly increased litter size in the second year was followed by significant decrease in the third cycle of reproduction.

Analiza uzyskanych wyników wskazuje, że zastosowane kryterium selekcyjne nie przyniosło spodziewanego efektu. Wyniki plenności w drugim roku użytkowania okazały się lepsze, jednak nie była to różnica statystycznie istotna. W trzecim sezonie nastąpiło statystycznie istotne pogorszenie wyników odchowu.

The object of the experiment was to determine the extent to which selected electrolytes (Na, K, Ca, P) and metabolites (cholesterol, total lipids, and total proteins) changed in the blood serum during the postpartum period in ewes and their correlation to litter size. Blood was collected from the jugularis v. of 149 Slovak merino breed ewes on 1, 4, 7, 14, 17, 21, 25 and 34 postpartum days. Lower Na and K levels were recorded in ewes with twins compared to ewes with a single lamb, with the exception of day 34.When evaluating Ca levels, it was found that the group of ewes with a single lamb exhibited a range from 2.38 ± 0.16 to 2.54 ± 0.26 mmol.l-1 and the group with twins a range from 2.39 ± 0.15 to 2.51 ± 0.19 mmol.l-1 and there was no significant difference. Phosphorus levels in the group of ewes with twins were lower on all observed days than those in the group of ewes with single lambs. Lower cholesterol levels were observed from day 7 of the observed period in ewes with twins compared to ewes with a single lamb. By day 21 of the observed period total lipids exhibited lower values in ewes with twins and the total serum protein levels in ewes with single lambs tended to slightly rise during this time. From day 14 postpartum there was a mild decrease in the total protein levels in the group of ewes with twins. The discussion focused on the effect of litter size on selected biochemical parameters during the postpartum period.

C-banding identified centromeric heterochromatin polymorphism, most often located in pair no. 16, was a basis for selecting animals for the experiment. The aim of the experiment was to assess the impact of centromeric heterochromatin polymorphism on pig fertility, expressed by litter size. The research included the first two litters obtained from 30 pairs of parents with different genotypes as regards the parameter under study. A statistical analysis of the number of offspring from different mating types showed no significant differences between the experimental groups of animals. The results obtained did not confirm suggested correlation between polymorphism of the centromeric heterochromatin regions and pig fertility, estimated by mean litter size. Thus the polymorphism cannot be regarded as a selection criterion.

The study presents a comparison of ovulation rate (CL number) and litter size between pure Booroola (BB) and their reciprocal crosses (F1 and F2) with Olkuska sheep. As these breeds express a high reproduction potential and in the same time differ significantly in other performance traits affecting lamb production, it was assumed that their crosses might combine beneficial characteristics of both. When the total numbers of CL were analysed the ovulation rate in BB appeared by 0.6 higher (P≤0.002) than in crossbred ewes (F1 and F2 pooled). However, no such difference was ascertained when analysing the maximum CL numbers. Ovulation rate and litter size did not differ between F1 and F2 crossbred ewes.

Pokolenie F2 pochodziło z kojarzenia F1 × F2. Analizowano poziom owulacji i plenność 46 maciorek BB i 73 maciorek BO, uwzględniając 22 maciorki F1 i 40 maciorek F2. Łączna liczba ciałek żółtych maciorek BB była wyższa o 0,6 (P≤0,002) niż stwierdzona u mieszańców F1 i F2. Natomiast nie udowodniono różnicy w maksymalnej liczbie ciałek żółtych. Plenność maciorek BB i BO była na jednakowym poziomie. Nie stwierdzono różnic w poziomie owulacji i plenności między maciorkami F1 a F2.
