Declarations
:
: All the procedures of blood sampling were performed as part of routine health examination, therefore, according to the European directive EU/2010/63 and Polish regulations regarding experiments on animals, there was no need for the approval of the Ethics Committee for the described procedures. Nevertheless, the experimental protocols were described and submitted to the 2nd Local Ethical Committee for Animal Experiments at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW). The protocols were qualified as “no need for approval” by this committee, since they were considered as non-experimental clinical veterinary procedures. A written consent for the use of blood for scientific analyses was obtained from the trainer.
