Lidia Felska-Błaszczyk is a Professor at the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, affiliated with the Faculty of Biotechnology and Animal Breeding and Department of Animal Reproductive Biotechnology and Environmental Hygiene. She specializes in reproductive physiology of fur animals, photoperiod effects on breeding, and domestication processes.

• Doctoral research: Chinchilla reproduction under varying light conditions (2004)
• Long-term cooperation with fur farming industry
• Member: Polish Society of Animal Production (2000-present), Szczecin Scientific Society (2006-present)

Research Focus: Investigates reproductive performance optimization, environmental factors in animal husbandry, photoperiod manipulation, and domestication syndrome through morphological and genetic studies. Key topics include testosterone/progesterone dynamics, litter size optimization, and nutritional supplementation for carnivorous fur animals.

Scientific Contributions: Led two major research projects on light condition effects (2002-2004) and phenotypic/genetic distinctiveness (2010-2012). Presented at international conferences in Germany and Italy (2003). Active in developing didactic materials for fur animal breeding and experimental design.
