Short summary
Short summary
The study examined the effect of the human handling of newborn calves on their development and immune system efficiency. Holstein-Friesian calves in one group were licked after birth by the mother, whereas the other group were handled by a human. Daily gains were controlled, and blood was collected for protein fractions and complete blood count analysis. The replacement of natural maternal care (licking) of a newborn calf by a human did not adversely affect the development and health of the calf.

Short summary
The aim of the study was to examine an effect of the preparation based on nanosilver suspension on poultry litter microbiological profile. The study was conducted on broiler chickens. On the last day of the experiment litter samples for microbiological analyses were collected by the drinker, feeder, and pen corner. The study demonstrated that the preparation exhibits bactericidal properties. However, its effect varies depending on microorganism and sample collection point.
