Jakość osobnicza samców saren na Wyżynie Lubelskiej w zróżnicowanych warunkach środowiskowo-klimatycznych

Studies upon the individual quality of roe deer males originating from Lublin Upland and obtained during two hunting seasons (2008/2009 and 2010/2011) with diverse climatic conditions of winter revealed different weights of carcass and antlers as well as various morphometric traits of antlers (length of tines, length of front and back branches). Data from bi−factorial variance analysis taking into account the interaction between animal’s age and the obtaining date indicate that body and antlers weight variability as well as the length of the front branches are determined mainly by animal’s age and the obtaining date, while the tine length and length of the back branches are greatly affected by animal’s age.
