OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.The authors describe pre-mating, gestation and parturition of females. C-reactive protein (CRP), haptoglobin (Hp) and haematological parameters. The group consisted of 25 healthy males. These sites 6 pregnant animals from these dogs were included in the permanent group and blood samples were taken before mating. Additional blood samples were taken on days 26-30, 58-62 and on days 3, 18 and 33 after calving. The results showed statistically significant changes in CRP concentrations during gestation (α = 0.05), with a maximum increase between days 25 and 30 (27.91 ± 2.60 mg/l). Hp concentrations showed statistically significant (α = 0.05) between days 26 and 30 of gestation (4.24 ± 1.21 mg/ml) and at calving (4.24 ± 1.21 mg/ml). was recorded after calving.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishAcute phase proteins (APP) are generally used as non-specific markers of inflammation in dogs. The production of APP may be triggered also by physiological factors, for example pregnancy. The aim of our study was to compare serum concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) and haptoglobin (Hp) between pregnant and non-pregnant bitches. We determined serum concentrations of CRP, Hp, haematocrit (HCT), haemoglobin (HGB), erythrocytes (RBC), leukocytes (WBC) and mean corpuscular volume of erythrocytes (MCV) in a group of 25 healthy, non-pregnant bitches. From these animals we formed a subgroup of 6 pregnant bitches. Samples of blood were collected from them before mating during oestrus. Second sampling of blood was performed at days 26−30 of pregnancy and the third one between days 58 and 62 of pregnancy. The fourth, fifth and sixth samplings were performed on days 3, 18 and 33 post-parturition, respectively.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceExaminations of healthy, non-pregnant bitches showed that concentrations of CRP reached 7.23 ± 4.65 mg/l. Before mating CRP was at the level of 3.2 ± 1.90 mg/l and abruptly increased to 27.91 ± 2.60 mg/l by the second sampling. By the third sampling, CRP decreased to 13.25 ± 4.23 mg/l. On day 3 post-parturition, CRP increased to 14.44 ± 7.92 mg/l. At fifth sampling, CRP concentration decreased to 6.58 ± 2.81 mg/l. At third sampling, Hp decreased almost to the initial level before mating. Differences in concentrations of CRP and Hp at individual samplings were significant (α = 0.05). Our investigations showed significant changes in CRP during pregnancy with maximal values reached between days 25 and 30 of pregnancy.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe results of this research are used and explained to students in the pedagogical process and are used in the practice of small animals.
