Pozycja Open Access Blood Plasma Progesterone Levels do not Correlate with Litter Size in the American Mink (Neovison vison)(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2018) Seremak, Beata; Dworecka-Borczyk, Marta; Felska-Błaszczyk, Lidia; Lasota, Bogdan; Department of Biotechnology of Animal Reproduction and Environmental Hygiene, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland; Department of Biotechnology of Animal Reproduction and Environmental Hygiene, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland; Laboratory of Animal Anatomy Faculty of Biotechnology and Animal Breeding, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland; Department of Biotechnology of Animal Reproduction and Environmental Hygiene, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, PolandThe aim of the study was to test whether there is a relationship between the plasma concentration of progesterone in a given stage of pregnancy and the litter size at birth. The study was carried out on a mink farm located in western Poland. Blood samples for analyses were drawn from year-old White Hedlund (WH) females. Samples were collected from 30 females, first on 22 February, i.e. before the mating season, and on 12 April, from pregnant females, about 3 weeks before expected parturitions. Plasma progesterone levels revealed a high individual variability within the studied group of mink. No significant correlation was found between blood plasma progesterone in pregant females and the average litters size at birth.
