: In accordance with Polish law and the European Union directive (no. 2010/63/EU), the trial conducted in this study did not require approval from the Local Ethics Committee for Animal Experiments in Poznań. All procedures adhered to the guidance for animal experimentation and the care of the animals included in the study. No action involving pain or suffering was practiced, and all analyses were performed on samples collected postmortem. Sacrificing animals solely for the use of their organs or tissues is not a procedure. The directive states the requirements for protecting animals used for experimental purposes. Therefore, these rules do not apply to agricultural activities or animal husbandry. The experiment was conducted under commercial conditions, so the farmers were responsible for rearing. The study adhered to the ARRIVE guidelines, ensuring ethical conduct and compliance with relevant regulations, with all methods, experimental design, sampling, and results analysis reported accordingly.
