The biggest attraction of the stand were freshly hatched ducks and geese from the Waterfowl Genetic Resources Station in Dworzyska. The display of eggs of landfowl and waterfowl of native breeds was very popular. The stand also hosted an expert breeder Katarzyna Marcińczak, who produces soaps with milk from Sztumski mares of her own breeding. An additional attraction was the opportunity to taste the mare’s milk. Experimental Stations of the National Research Institute of Animal Production (IZ PIB ZD Kołuda Wielka, ZD IZ PIB Chorzelów sp. z o.o., ZD IZ PIB Odrzechowa sp. z o.o.) enriched the animal expositions at the 25th Regional Farm Animal Exhibition, presenting waterfowl and landfowl flocks, dairy cattle, Hucul horses, and Carpathian goats.
