Abstracts:
The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of European hares obtained by shooting and hound hunting. It sets a number of differences: the superiority of the weight of the hare carcasses caught by hounds above the shoot ones; the prevalence of the females in the group «the shot» (60 %) over «the caught» (27 %). The limits of mass of spleen of the studied hares are defined, this parameter varies from 0.7 to 3.4 g. The correlation of the mass of spleen and carcass was determined. The tendency of a lower value of KMS is exposed for the «the shot» group. The authors established that in 2015 the hunting percentage was 88.3 % of «the shot» and 17.3 % of «the caught». The research proved that hound hunting is the unique method of natural selection of hares in the conditions of lack or absence of predators. The method of comparative analysis was studied. The amount of microorganisms has increased in unhealthy animals in comparison with the healthy ones. The non-invasive method (tested on dogs) was applied to European hares (Lepus europeus) and could be recommended for the animal welfare monitoring.
