In spring 2008 we collected 19 adult females, 1 male and 5 calves. Among females, 17 were pregnant. One female had 2 embryos. In general, among embryos we found 11 females and 7 male.

For all animals samples were taken, Kidneys were taken for heavy metal analysis, feces and blood on filter paper (brucellosis and other diseases), helminthes and botflies for species composition, stomach contents and tissues (radioactive cesium and spectral analysis of microelements), hair (microelements), blood and serum.

Genetic work will be conducted on meat samples of adults and embryos kept in ethanol. We have already analyzed bone marrow. Ovaries were collected and stored in ethanol and, along with teeth to determine age, will be analyzed in our lab
