Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the reasons for anomalies in male roe deer dentition during the last 5 years and obtained from 101 hunting circles managed by the Regional Board of Polish Hunting Association in Lublin. Within the studied period, the number of anomalies was low and ranged from 1 to 3 cases per hunting season. This volume relative to the amount of harvested roe deer in different seasons was from 0.11 to 0.35% of the total volume of raising animals in the hunting season. In the majority of cases, the anomalies referred to the lack of some teeth in the lower jaw, both on the left and the right sides. No clear directional asymmetry of the defects, nor the regions the animals with these types of anomalies originated from were observed, thus the environmental conditions had to influence the described abnormalities, including inbreeding as one of the possible reasons for their occurrence.
