Karolina Wengerska, MSc became a member of EAAP

A doctoral student of ULSL Doctoral School — Karolina Wengerska, Msc became a member of European Federation for Animal Science.

EAAP is an international non-governmental organisation which aims to improve the farming of domestic animals.

Karolina Wengerska was born in Rybnik, a charming Silesian town in southern Poland. Since childhood, she was interested in animals, and had a special love for dogs and horses. These interests determined her life choices. In 2016, Karolina started engineering studies in hippology and horse riding at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. These studies allowed her to expand her knowledge of the breeding and use of horses. To develop her riding competences, she obtained the qualifications of a riding instructor, and in 2020 she defended her engineering thesis entitled “The role of invertebrates in epizootiology and zoonotic and microbial transfer via horse limbs – an implementation project of a targeted parasitological prevention instruction”.

Even though at the beginning of her scientific career she swore during Poultry Breeding classes that she would never have anything to do with poultry, in the third year of her studies Karolina joined the Student Scientific Club of Poultry Biology, Breeding and Use, where she was involved in researching the productivity of chickens and Japanese quails, the quality of raw materials obtained from them, as well as their bird behavior. Her involvement in working with poultry resulted in her defending her master’s thesis in 2021 entitled “The influence of feeding with mixtures containing fermented post-extraction rapeseed meal on the quality of Japanese quail eggs”, which was distinguished by both the Reviewer and won third place in prof. Andrzej Faruga Competition organized by PO WPSA.

Currently, Karolina is a third-year student of the Doctoral School at her alma mater, and her research concerns the impact of shell defects on the quality of table and hatching eggs, the quality of the chicks obtained, as well as the possibility of inheritance of the tendency to lay defective eggs.
