Faculty Student Association of Animals Nutrition

The student association gathers people interested in Biosciences like: Biology, Microbiology, Physiology and Anatomy of Animals. Our research combines these fields and uses it in nutrition of animals kept for farming purposes, pets, invertebrates and fodder production. There are several different groups of students working on their projects, which are carried out under the guidance of the employees of the Division of Animals Nutrition. We are always looking for new projects and they are gladly implemented. Our recent research concerned the effect of sedimentary calcium  on morphological parameters of Japanese Quails. Also we did research about the influence of  various factors: green tea and herb – Saposhnikovia divaricata on chicken embryos. Many results of our research are presented and appreciated on scientific events. If you want to be a member of our association, please do not hesitate to contact us:

Scientific Association of Experimental and Laboratory Animals (KNZDiL)

 

According to the modern approach, the animals in the experiment are of overriding importance – are the most important and the behavior of their welfare depends on the result of our work. They are sentient beings. Guided by these principles, we gave to our Association the name “Scientific Association of Experimental and Laboratory Animals” to honor them for huge contribution, among others, in medical, biological and agricultural sciences.

How KNZDiL was established?

In WULS – SGGW work with laboratory animals are conducted since the 60’s of last century. One of the founders of this trend was a Prof. Tadeusz Sławiński, who created the selection lines of mice. In addition, in the Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding is one of the most active experimental herd of Japanese quail in the country. Scientific Association of Experimental and Laboratory Animal was established in response to the interest in the subject of animals used in experiments. Students belonging to our association cooperate with specialists in the field of science of experimental animals, with breeders, veterinarians, and other related institutions.

The keeper is dr Beata GrzegrzółkaWebsite : http://knzdil.sggw.pl/E-mail : knzdil@sggw.pl
