Pozycja Open Access Microbiological air rating in a variety of objects during treatment of the post-slaughter poultry wastes. Part II. Bacteria(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Oraibi, Sanaa Mahdi; Cybulska, Krystyna; Department of Microbiology and Environmental Biotechnology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Microbiology and Environmental Biotechnology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinIn this paper, composition of the air in terms of bacterial bioaerosol in the management of post-slaughter poultry waste, was analyzed. The air samples were collected at 4 dates from 5 different locations – buildings (building for pre-processing with chemical treatment, pool for liquid waste, facility for storage of sludge from biological sewage treatment, object for preparation of waste subject to composting, and proper composting facility). Analyses were carried out in accordance with the procedures of environmental microbiology. Number of total bacteria was determined with particular emphasis put to Pseudomonas sp. and Clostridium sp. as well as Actinomycetes sp. Based on the air assays, it was found that the bacterial bioaerosol was present in varying degrees depending on the selected groups of microorganisms and differed between dates of analyzes and research points i.e. type and purpose of the object for these wastes management.Pozycja Open Access Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) applied instead of first mating improves reproduction in mink (Neovison vison)(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Seremak, Beata; Pławski, Kamil; Felska-Błaszczyk, Lidia; Lasota, Bogdan; Department of Biotechnology of Animal Reproduction and Environmental Hygiene West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Biotechnology of Animal Reproduction and Environmental Hygiene West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Laboratory of Animal Anatomy, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Biotechnology of Animal Reproduction and Environmental Hygiene West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe aim of the study was to determine how an administration of chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in place of the first mating would affect breeding performance of female American mink (Neovison vison). The experiment was conducted in two consecutive breeding seasons on groups of females composed of one- and two-year old mink, similar in body weight, belonging to three colour morphs: Sapphire, Standard Brown (Wild), and Mahogany. The experimental group were females treated with an injection of 20 IU hCG instead of being subjected to the first mating. The females were first mated on day 8 after the treatment, repeated on the following day (scheme: 8 + 9). The control females were mated in a conventional way, three times (scheme: 1 + 8 + 9). Statistically significant differences were found in litter sizes (both numbers of born and live-born kits) in favour of the hormonally treated females. The Mahogany females, treated with hCG, produced larger litters in both studied seasons, whereas Standard Brown and Sapphire females – in the second year of the experiment. The results indicate a positive effect of hCG stimulation on the fertility of female mink and advocate its use in the breeding practice.Pozycja Open Access The use of enzymatic tests for quality assessment of soils in remedied post-industrial areas(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Futa, Barbara; Institute of Soil Science, Environment Engineering and Management, Lublin University of Life SciencesIn this study, communicative enzymatic indicators were applied to assess the quality of soils in remedied post-industrial areas. The research encompassed soils at the former railway grounds in Lublin and Radom, and soils at the ZA Puławy SA site and at the ZE Dolna Odra SA ash dumpsite in Nowe Czarnowo. The study revealed high biological inactivation in these post- -railway areas. In the case of soils near the site of ZA Puławy SA and at the ash dumpsite in Nowe Czarnowo, the results obtained indicate that the utilised reclamation systems have been effective. The suggested communicative indicators, reflecting the metabolism of the soil ecosystem, enable quick assessment of the quality and health of the soils, as well as quantification of the ecological effects of the utilised remediation systems or protection programs for post-industrial area ecosystems.Pozycja Open Access Evaluation of the biological value of the dandelion leaves (Taraxacum officinale weber ex wigg.) grown on soil contaminated with copper(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Studziński, Mateusz; Grzeszczuk, Monika; Department of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Horticulture, West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe experiment was conducted in 2013. Research material included the leaves of a dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Weber ex Wigg.) – roots with the above-ground part, gathered before tying of flower baskets (Taraxaci radix cum herba). Laboratory analyses, which were the continuation of the pot experiment, were conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Horticulture of the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin. In the dried plant material (dandelion leaves) the content was determined: of dry mass and total ash, vitamin C as L-ascorbic acid, chlorophyll a, b and total, total carotenoid and antioxidant activity. Based on the obtained results it was found that both the biometric features of the dandelion plants and their biological value subjected to significant changes depending on the amount of copper contained in the soil and the crop harvest date.Pozycja Open Access The effect of different doses of fertilisation with phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen on seed yield of Dactylis glomerata L. of ‘Tukan’ variety(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Kitczak, Teodor; Czyż, Henryk; Kirkiewicz, Anna; Department of Soil Science, Grassland and Environmental Chemistry West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Soil Science, Grassland and Environmental Chemistry West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Soil Science, Grassland and Environmental Chemistry West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe study was conducted at the Lipki Agricultural Experiment Station in Lipnik near Stargard Szczeciński on acid brown soil formed of light glacial sand on clay (5 Bw pgl : pgm), which is characterised by low content of humus on Ap level (1.57–1.59%) and clay particles (11.9–12.4%). The field experiment was set up in split-plot system in four replications, with an area of a single plot of 12 m2. The study included two factors: I – doses of phosphorus and potassium (P + K kg . ha–1): 60 + 120 and 90 + 180, II – doses of nitrogen (N kg . ha–1): 0, 40, 80 and 120. The experiment was established in 2010 by sowing Dactylis glomerata seeds of ‘Tukan’ variety (8 kg . ha–1) in spring barley harvested for grain. The study included two years of seed collection (2011 and 2012). The study determined plant density in the years of full use, number of generative shoots per plant, inflorescence length, number of spikelets and seeds per inflorescence as well as seed and straw yield. Biometric observations were conducted in 25 randomly selected inflorescences from each plot. Seed and straw yield was determined on the area of each plot during seed harvest. Dactylis glomerata of ‘Tukan’ variety was characterised by higher level of yields in the first than in the second year of seed collection. The obtained results indicate, that when establishing a plantation on light soil with companion planting in spring barley, it is advisable to use 120 kg N, 60 kg P and 120 kg K . ha–1. The increased phosphorus-potassium fertilisation (90 kg P and 180 kg . ha–1) did not change the studied morphological features of plants (number of generative shoots per plant, length of inflorescence, number of spikelets and seeds per inflorescence), while fertilising with nitrogen in doses of 40, 80 and 120 kg . ha–1 had a positive effect on increasing the above mentioned features.Pozycja Open Access Interactive effects of salinity stress with or without nicotinamide on physiological and biochemical parameters of tomato seedling(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Krupa-Małkiewicz, Marcelina; Ostojski, Dominik; Sędzik, Maja; Pelc, Justyna; Smolik, Beata; Department of Plant Genetics, Breeding and Biotechnology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Plant Genetics, Breeding and Biotechnology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe aim of this study is to determine the effect of both NaCl and KCl salt alone or in combination with nicotinamide, on growth and some biochemical parameters of Vilma cultivar of tomato under laboratory and field conditions. The combinations of salt solutions used had a negative impact on the ability of seed germination and morphological characteristics of 14-day-old tomato seedlings. The addition of NaCl salt had a positive impact on the content of Chl a and Car in contrast KCl salt solution led to the decrease of photosynthetic and non- -photosynthetic pigments. Under field conditions, NaCl salt solution exhibited inhibitory effect on plant growth, concentration of Chl a, Chl b, and Car, simultaneously increasing oxidative stress parameters (proline and malondialdehyde – MDA). Moreover, leaves of tomato from the control group were darker in comparison to the remaining plants. It was observed that the addition of nicotinamide to the solution did not show protective effect on plants grown under salinity, except in a small increase of the concentration of proline.Pozycja Open Access SLC27A1 gene polymorphism analysis in relation to milk production traits in Jersey cows(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Kulig, Hanna; Kałłas, Tomasz; Kowalewska-Łuczak, Inga; Kunicka, Melania; Wojdak-Maksymiec, Katarzyna; Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe aim was to establish possible associations between the g.14791C>T and g.14589A>G SNPs in the SLC27A1 gene and milk production traits as well as somatic cell count in milk of Jersey cows. No significant associations were found between the genotypes and the analyzed traits. Further study on a larger number of animals is necessary to determine the potential effect of this SNP on the fat yield and fat content in milk.Pozycja Open Access Dioxins – their influence on human health and the contamination of products of animal origin(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Różewicz, Marcin; Bombik, Elżbieta; Janocha, Alina; Łagowska, Katarzyna; Bednarczyk, Małgorzata; Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Management, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Animal Reproduction and Hygiene, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Animal Nutrition and Feed Management, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Animal Reproduction and Hygiene, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Animal Reproduction and Hygiene, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and HumanitiesDioxins represent a group of compounds that are toxic to both humans and animals. Due to their enormous persistence, dioxins accumulate in the environment and organisms on each level of the food chain. For the sake of public health safety, all necessary measures should be taken in order to reduce the emission of dioxins to the environment. Laboratories should examine food for the presence of these substances and legal regulations on food safety standards should be introduced in terms of their tolerable concentrations in food products and animal feed. The aim of the study was to present the current state of knowledge on the toxicity of dioxins, how they threat human and animal health, what preventive measures and regulations are at place to protect consumers against products contaminated with dioxins.Pozycja Open Access The effect of soil tillage system and nitrogen fertilization on baking quality of winter spelt cultivars(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Hury, Grzegorz; Stankowski, Sławomir; Makarewicz, Artur; Sobolewska, Magdalena; Biel, Wioletta; Opatowicz, Natalia; Department of Agronomy, West Pomerania University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Agronomy, West Pomerania University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Agronomy, Siedlce University of Natural Science and Humanities; Department of Agronomy, West Pomerania University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Pig Breeding, Animal Nutrition and Food, West Pomerania University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Agronomy, West Pomerania University of Technology, SzczecinThe material for investigation were grain samples obtained from an experiment conducted in 2009–2011 at the Agricultural Experimental Station in Lipnik, near Szczecin. The study compared 3 factors: two systems of soil tillage (reduced and conventional), 4 nitrogen doses (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg · ha–1) and 3 winter spelt cultivars (‘Franckenkorn’, ‘Oberkulmer Rothkorn’, ‘STH 12’). The quality and farinograph traits of grain, flour and dough were estimated. Soil tillage systems – reduced and conventional – practically had not effect on grain and flour quality. Significant difference was observed only for gluten content. Nitrogen fertilization influenced significantly most of the quality traits. The optimal nitrogen level was 100 kg N · ha–1. Only for gluten index and gluten weakening the highest values have been observed at control variant without nitrogen fertilization. There was no interaction between cultivars and nitrogen fertilization except for gluten index. Mean values of this trait for cultivars ‘Oberkulmer Rothkorn’ and ‘Franckenkorn’ was on the same level at different nitrogen dose. Gluten index for cultivar ‘STH 12’ decreased significantly at higher doses. The results of farinograph analyses indicate that cultivar with the best baking quality was ‘Oberkulmer Rothkorn’, while with the worst quality – ‘Franckenkorn’.Pozycja Open Access Influence of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) shelterbelts on fractional humus composition and biochemical properties of eroded loess soil(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Futa, Barbara; Institute of Soil Science, Environment Engineering and Management, Lublin University of Life SciencesThe purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of field shelterbelts on fractional humus composition and biochemical properties of loess soil in the area highly threatened by water erosion. To this end, soil samples were collected along three transects situated within 20-year-old black locust (Robinia pseudacacia L.) shelterbelts. The plantings were established in a loess micro-basin located on arable land. Shelterbelts 1 and 3 are located on the flat hilltop and run north-south whereas shelterbelt 2 is situated along the north-facing slope of 15% at the study site and runs west-east. Overall, 9 soil pits were dug: (i) 3 pits in the central part of each 5 m wide tree strip, and (ii) 6 pits in the adjacent arable fields, with 2 pits at a distance of 2 m and 20 m made for each of 3 plots, perpendicularly to the shelterbelt edges, west of shelterbelts 1 and 2, and south of shelterbelt 3. The shelterbelts had a significant influence on soil organic carbon sequestration and humification progress. Carbon contents of humic substances and fulvic acids as well as values of humic to fulvic acid ratios were higher in the soil under the locust trees than in the soil from the arable field. The carbon content of humic substances and fulvic acids decreased with increasing distance from the tree-planted sites. The increase in soil organic carbon levels in the soil from the shelterbelts led to positive changes in the activity of the enzymes studied (i.e. dehydrogenases, phosphatases, proteases, and urease) catalyzing the most important processes of soil organic matter transformations. Compared to the arable soil, the soil under Robinia pseudacacia had higher enzyme activities decreasing significantly with distance from the tree strips. This confirms a positive impact of agroforestry system on soil biology.Pozycja Open Access The effect of water activity and temperature on the growth and lipolytic activity of Penicillium chrysogenum (Thom) and Eurotium herbariorum (Wigg.) strains(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Janda, Katarzyna; Markowska-Szczupak, Agata; Ulfig, Krzysztof; Department of Biochemistry and Human Nutrition, Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin; Institute of Inorganic Technology and Environment Engineering, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; School of Public Health, Medical University of Silesia, BytomThe aim of the study was to determine the effect of water activity (aw) and temperature on the growth and tributyrin hydrolysis of Penicillium chrysogenum and Eurotium herbariorum strains isolated from rape, soya-bean and sunflower seeds. The study demonstrated differences in daily growth rates, tributyrin hydrolysis zones and tributyrin hydrolysis indices in different strains of the same species; depending on the seeds they had been isolated from. E. herbariorum strains, unlike P. chrysogenum strains, did not grow on tributyrin at 15°C and 0.850 aw. No hydrolysis zones of oil substrate were found under these conditions. E. herbariorum and P. chrysogenum showed marked differences in their tributyrin hydrolysis indices. For P. chrysogenum strains somewhat higher values were recorded for cultures at 15°C. However, the highest indices of tributyrin hydrolysis at 15°C and 25°C were recorded at the lowest level of aw 0.850.Pozycja Open Access Structure and floristic diversity of the community Calamagrostietum Epigeji Juraszek 1928 within different biotopes(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Kutyna, Ignacy; Młynkowiak, Elżbieta; Malinowska, Katarzyna; Department of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Development, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin,; Department of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Development, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin,; Department of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe aim of the present paper was to determine the structure and floristic diversity of Calamagrostietum epigeji occurring within different biotopes (sand and gravel post-excavation pits, “Gilow” post-flotation waste dump, and an urban area in Szczecin). Based on previous publications, a synthetic table was compiled to present the phytosociological constancy (S) and cover coefficient (D) of species occurring in the analysed phytocoenoses. Analysis of the similarity between the communities was performed with the UPGMA method and Euclidean distances on the basis of species phytosociological constancy using the Statistica PL package. Similarity coefficients were also calculated for the distinguished phytocoenoses with the Sorensen method and the results were presented in Czekanowski’s diagram. As revealed by the UPGMA method, the greatest similarity was exhibited by communities developing within the “Storkowo I” and “Storkowo II” pits and in the “Mielenko Drawskie” pit. These phytocoenoses, which are undergoing the initial succession stage, are characterised by distinct dominance of Calamagrostis epigejos and a low number of species (from 38 to 49 taxa, on average from 10 to 15 per releve). The other group comprises communities representing later stages of succession from the “Gilow” post-flotation waste dump and the long abandoned “Krzynka” and “Szczecin- -Żydowce” pits. These phytocoenoses exhibit substantially higher floristic richness (from 61 to 114 species, on average from 15 to 20 per releve); hence, the cover coefficient of the bushgrass is considerably lower. The urban area in Szczecin is the most diverse biotope, in which, due to the more favourable soil conditions, rich phytocoenoses characterised by a mean number of 25 taxa per releve and a low cover of Calamagrostis epigejos have developed.Pozycja Open Access The influence of IBA, IAA and NAA on rooting of Celosia argentea var.cristata (L.) Kuntze in vitro culture(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Krupa-Małkiewicz, Marcelina; Mgłosiek, Oktawia; Department of Plant Genetics, Breeding and Biotechnology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Plant Genetics, Breeding and Biotechnology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe formation of adventitious roots is an essential step in vegetative propagation. Well-developed root system allows for easier and faster adaptation of plants to ex vitro conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of exogenous auxin on Celosia argentea var.cristata (L.) Kuntze rooting under in vitro conditions and on ex vitro adaptation of those plants. MS rooting media were supplemented with IBA, IAA and NAA at subsequent concentrations 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg ・ dm−3. The results showed, that subsequent hormones had a positive effect on root development and morphology. The longest and thickest roots were formed in the presence of IBA at the concentration of 1.0 mg ・ dm−3. The highest percent of ex vitro survived plants was obtained after application of IBA and NAA (1.0 mg ・ dm−3). Plants survival ex vitro decreased (12.5–62.5%), when culture treated with IBA and NAA (1.5 and 2.0 mg ・ dm−3).Pozycja Open Access Analysis of renal expression of TRPM6 and TRPM7 in growing piglets fed a diet supplemented with inulin –type fructans. A pilot study(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Michałek, Katarzyna; Medeńska, Weronika; Pietrzak, Sandra; Staśkiewicz, Łukasz; Department of Physiology, Cytobiology and Proteomics, West Pomeranian University of Technology Szczecin; Department of Physiology, Cytobiology and Proteomics, West Pomeranian University of Technology Szczecin; Department of Physiology, Cytobiology and Proteomics, West Pomeranian University of Technology Szczecin; The Kielanowski Institute of Animal Physiology and Nutrition, Polish Academy of Sciences JabłonnaA diet enriched with inulin-type fructans has multidirectional, beneficial health effects for both humans and animals. The benefits of such a modified diet include increased intestinal absorption of micro- and macrominerals, including magnesium (Mg2+). It is generally known that Mg2+ is involved in many biological processes, and a disruption of its homeostasis during the growth and development may result in a number of adverse changes. Maintaining the proper balance of Mg2+ involves many mechanisms and factors, among them the recently identified protein TRPM6 and TRPM7 (transient receptor potential melastin 6 and 7). Since the available literature lacks any information about TRPM6 and TRPM7 in farm animals, including swine, we have undertaken this research aimed at identification of these proteins in the kidney of growing piglets and analysis of the impact of diets supplemented with inulin-type fructans on their expressions. The study was performed on 16 male, PIC x Penarlan P76 crossbred piglets. Animals were divided into two groups: the control was fed a standard diet and the treatment group was fed a diet supplemented with 3% aqueous solution of inulin-type fructans. As a result of the study, using Western blotting, we found TRPM6 and TRPM7 in the kidneys of growing piglets. We also found that renal expression of TRPM6 increased in the animals treated with a diet supplemented with inulin-type fructans. Expression of TRPM7, on the other hand, did not change. The increase in TRPM6 expression in the supplement-treated animals presumably contributed to an increased renal retention of Mg2+. The changes in the expression of TRPM6 seem to be a positive effect of the dietary supplementation with inulin-type fructans.Pozycja Open Access Effect of the feed additive effective microorganisms™ (EMTM) on milk and reproductive performance of polish holstein-fresian black-and-white cows(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Czerniawska-Piątkowska, Ewa; Majsakowski, Wojciech; Cioch, Barbara; Department of Ruminant Science, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Ruminant Science, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Ruminant Science, West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe aim of study was to evaluate the influence of using EMTM probiotics in dairy cattle feeding on production and reproductive performance and birth weight of calves. The present investigation was undertaken at a large commercial farm in West Pomerania province in 2010. 211 cows were chosen to determine the effect of EMTM probiotics on studied parameters. These cows were divided into two groups: Control Group (A) and Treatment Group (B). Group B were fed during first month of the experiment 150 ml/day/animal probiotics and in next months 75 ml/day/animal. In current work we analyzed chosen reproductive parameters (age at first calving and intercalving period) and milk performance in standard lactation. It has been noticed that cows in Group B in 1st lactation characterized higher milk yield, FCM, fat and protein yield [kg] and fat content (P ≤ 0.01) compared to Group A. In addition, during comparing both groups it was found that cows in Group B in 3rd lactation received the highest milk yield, FCM, fat and protein yield [kg]. Considering protein yield the result was significant (P ≤ 0.05). On the other hand, no significant differences were found for using EMTM probiotics on reproductive parameters and calves’ birth weight [kg].Pozycja Open Access The role and scope of field studies in environmental impact assessments and environmental documentation(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Dusza, Elżbieta; Kupiec, Michał; Department of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Development, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Development, West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinField studies have become a permanent feature of the environmental documentation system, which in turn has become a standard part of the investment process. The scope and depth of environmental impact assessment field studies is highly diverse and depends both on the type of investment and the provisions required by the relevant authorities. The paper presents an analysis of selected examples of investments in the scope of the field research conducted, along with the impact of their results on obtaining a positive environmental assessment decision. The analysis also takes into account the needs of field research, which should be tailored to the level and type of investment which is subject to environmental impact assessment.Pozycja Open Access Preliminary estimation the impact of effective microorganisms and fertilization on the yield, photosynthetic activity, water use efficiency of japanese knotweed (Polygonum Cuspidatum Siebold & Zucc.) and contents of selected minerals in soil(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Jaroszewska, Anna; Stankowski, Sławomir; Department of Agronomy, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Agronomy, West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe aim of research was preliminary assessment the influence of effective microorganisms and fertilization manure on the yield, morphological traits, photosynthetic activity, water use efficiency of Japanese knotweed (Polygonum Cuspidatum Siebold & Zucc.) and on amount of selected minerals in soil. Field experiment was conducted in 2014 and 2015 in Experimental Station in Lipnik near Stargard Szczeciński (53o12’N; 14o27’E), Poland. Experimental factors were EM – effective microorganisms (preparation) and fertilization manure. The experiment was conducted in the totally random system. The experiment consisted of four objects, in four replication: 1 – control (without EM preparation and fertilization); 2 – EM preparation; 3 – fertilization granulated manure; 4 – EM preparation and fertilization granulated manure. Effective microorganisms and manure fertilization had no significant effect on the yield, the number of plants per plot, their height, and diameter of stems of Japanese knotweed. Plants fertilized with manure and EM preparation with manure had higher concentrations of studied macronutrients (magnesium, calcium, phosphorus) and microelements. Greater intensity of assimilation and transpiration was observed in plants grown in the control plots (without EM and manure). Plant grown on objects fertilized with manure as well as EM preparation and manure- -treated better utilized water during its shortages (in 2015 year).Pozycja Open Access The use of compound feeds for broiler and turkey chicks for rearing pheasants(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Kondracki, Stanisław; Bombik, Elżbieta; Banaszewska, Dorota; Bednarczyk, Małgorzata; Łagowska, Katarzyna; Department of Reproduction and Animal Hygiene, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Reproduction and Animal Hygiene, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Breeding Methods and Poultry and Small Ruminant Breeding, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Reproduction and Animal Hygiene, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Department of Breeding Methods and Poultry and Small Ruminant Breeding, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and HumanitiesThe study was aimed at analysing the possibility of using concentrate mixes produced for broiler DKA-S and turkey chicks IB-1, IB-2 for rearing the Common and Golden Pheasant. Diet analyses were conducted on 40 birds, including 20 Common and 20 Golden pheasants. The Common and Golden pheasants in both diet groups did not significantly differ in body weight. During the rearing period, the mean body weight of the Common pheasants fed with the IB concentrate was higher than the body weight of those fed with the DKA-S concentrate. After 4 weeks, the difference in the mean body weight already reached more than 67 g. After 8 weeks, the pheasants in both diet groups were similar in body weight, amounting to 616.78 g in the case of those fed with the IB concentrate and 608.14 g in the case of the birds receiving the DKA-S concentrate. The Golden pheasants fed with IB throughout the rearing period were heavier than those maintained on DKA-S. After 8 weeks, they reached the body weight of 401.40 g, i.e. they were 65.5 g heavier than the pheasants fed with DKA-S. The mean daily body weight gains of the Common and Golden pheasants were higher in the case of the IB concentrate. The birds fed both with IB and DKA-S featured a very fast growth rate between the 1st day and the 4th week of age. Between the 5th and 8th week the growth rate decelerated, ranging from 57.95% to 75.45%. Compound mixes destined for broiler chicks and turkeys can be effectively used for rearing pheasants. In comparison with DKA-S, the IB concentrate provides better results in rearing both Common and Golden pheasants.Pozycja Open Access Assessment of agro-meteorological conditions of the vegetation period in 2015 in the Szczecin lowland(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Rawicki, Kacper; Mąkosza, Agnieszka; Institute of Technology and Life Sciences, West Pomeranian Research Centre in Szczecin; Department of Meteorology and Green Areas Management, West Pomeranian University of Technology, SzczecinThe present study presents the analysis of thermal and pluviometric conditions on the basis of selected agro-meteorological indices in the vegetation period (IV–X) in 2015 in the Szczecin Lowland against the reference period of 1961–2014. With the use of the results of automatic measurements of air temperature, the following were identified: the beginning, the end and duration of vegetation period, as well as the sum of effective temperatures above the 5oC threshold. Additionally, the months were thermally classified according to Lorenc (2000) and the pluviometric conditions were assessed with the use of standardised precipitation index (SPI). It was found that in 2015 in the Szczecin Lowland, the thermal vegetation period lasted for 257 days with the date of beginning 19th of March, and the ending date 30th November. Therefore, the period was by 26 days longer than the average and fourth in terms of length as compared with the reference multi-year period. As compared to thermal conditions till the second half of the 1990s, the vegetation period under analysis was marked by high heat resources – the resources were average in comparison to the last several years. However, according to thermal classification, the period was characterised by average thermal conditions, yet the shortage of precipitation resulted in severe atmospheric drought as defined by the values of SPI index. The most unfavorable weather conditions were recorded in August which was marked by abnormally warm thermal conditions and extreme atmospheric drought.Pozycja Open Access The effect of tillage system and nitrogen fertilization on nutritional value of winter spelt wheat cultivars(Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2016) Biel, Wioletta; Hury, Grzegorz; Jaroszewska, Anna; Sadkiewicz, Józef; Stankowski, Sławomir; Department of Pig Breeding, Animal Nutrition and Food, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Agronomy, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of Agronomy, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin; Department of the Food Technology, University of Science and Technology, Bydgoszcz; Department of the Food Technology, University of Science and Technology, BydgoszczThe field experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Experimental Station of the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, in Lipnik near Stargard Szczeciński in 2009−2011. The experimental factors consisted of: tillage systems (simplified and plow), selected cultivars and strains of spelt (‘Frankenkorn’, ‘Oberkulmer Rotkorn’, ‘STH 8’, ‘STH 11’, ‘STH 12’), and nitrogen fertilization levels (control – 0, 50, 100, 150 kg N . ha–1). Material for the study included samples of grain obtained as an average for the experimental combinations. In samples of grain were determined the basic chemical composition and fiber fractions. The research indicates that there are opportunities to shape the size of nutrient levels, which determines the use of spelt grain in the food industry by agronomic factors. Higher nitrogen fertilization significantly increased content of total protein (154 g . kg–1). Cultivar and strain factor had significant effect on the content of total protein (154 g . kg–1), crude fat (19.3 g . kg–1) and crude ash (20.8 g . kg–1) as well as neutral-detergent (114 g . kg–1) and acidic-detergent dietary (33.3 g . kg–1) fiber fractions.
