Title: [The kinological identification of individual scents in the traces of the vital activities of 4 vertebrate species].
Abstract: One can successfully identify individual odors of almost any terrestrial vertebrates using laboratory dogs. The excretions can be collected on adsorbent paper and conserved for subsequent identification. It has been experimentally shown that the odor of house mice remains stable during the whole life span and that the stabilization of dog-identifiable odors finishes in young mice at 14 day. The method tested will allow to create individual banks of animal odors, e.g. for identification of rare species.
