​​SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FOCUS:

The scientific research activity is focused on the study of metabolic markers of animals, especially economically important animal species in relation to their breeding conditions and environment. The study focuses on intersexual, interbreed and interspecies differences in relation to the values of biochemical, haematological, immunochemical markers. These markers are also determined after the application of phytoadditives in the diet of the animals. Further scientific research activity focuses on monitoring the influence of the environment and natural substances on the organism in in vitro conditions.

• Biochemical, immunochemical and stress markers in animals and humans,

• ecophysiology of animals,

• phytoadditives for animal and human nutrition,

• ELFO, UV-VIS spectrophotometry
