AB  - In recent times, there has been a revived interest in utilizing medicinal
and aromatic plants (MAPs) for the treatment of diseases and enhancing the
productivity of farm animals. Thanks to their bioactive compounds, MAPs can
enhance the immune system, reduce the risk of disease and improve overall health
and welfare. This is especially important in the post-antibiotic era, where the search
for alternative options is becoming increasingly urgent. Although the mode of their
action is still unclear, today it is known that MAPs can modulate the microbiota
and promote gut health, leading to improved digestion and nutrient absorption.
Some components of MAPs act against viruses, bacteria and parasites. Additionaly,
the use of MAPs in livestock farming can also have environmental benefits.
Livestock methane emissions are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas levels.
Recent studies have shown that certain bioactive compounds found in MAPs could
inhibit methanogenesis and reduce the number of methanogenic microbes in animal
gastrointestinal tracts. As a result, researchers are exploring the potential of MAPs
in methane reduction strategies. Plants could also play a prominent role in
obtaining functional and enriched foods to contribute to animal product quality and
human health in general. This review highlights the importance and potential of
using medicinal plants in farm animal breeding, particularly in the context of the
One Health concept, which acknowledges the interconnectedness of human,
animal, and environmental health.

AB  - In the last decades, there has been a trend present in the world to increase the size of dairy herds while increasing the yield of milk per head. In addition to environmental and economic benefits, this trend carries certain risks for the welfare of cows because in conditions of increased agglomeration of cattle the possibility of spreading of pathogens is also increased, there are less opportunities for adequate control and cows are exposed to greater selection and production stress. Research of the relationship between herd size and welfare quality parameters is still not sufficient to make relevant conclusions. Starting from that, the aim of this study, conducted in Serbia, is to examine the influence of herd size on parameters related to providing good feeding and housing conditions as important segments of the overall welfare of dairy cows. The assessment of given welfare parameters was done by Welfare Quality® Assessment Protocol for Cattle (2009) on 16 dairy farms of different herd sizes (large, medium and small) and housing management. The results indicate that there are significant variations in welfare indicators in each of the observed groups, which is why the size of the herd cannot be taken as a parameter that explicitly determines the quality of welfare. However, individual observation and comparison of welfare parameters between groups indicate that small herds in our production conditions could be identified as the greatest risks to the welfare of cows. In small herds, the highest share of cows of poor (4.62%) and fattened condition (8.76%) was found, as well as the lowest freedom of movement because cows on small farms are mostly reared in a tied system. Average values of indicators: lying down time (6.24s), frequency of collisions with equipment (13.25%) and high dirt contamination of cows (65.6-89.8%) further emphasize the issue of providing comfort in small herds.

AB  - The paper describes the effects of different rearing conditions as 
possible stressors on health, reproduction, growth, milk yield and quality of meat
and milk. It was pointed out that numerous internal and external factors of cattle
affect the physiological processes, health, reproduction, growth, milk yield and
quality of milk and meat as very strong stressors. They are especially important
when acting immediately after parturition, i.e. in the puerperium in cows and
immediately after birth in calves. In intensive cattle production, the most important
complex stressors regardless of origin, and physiological conditions in which these 
animals are more susceptible to distress are parturition, calf birth, puerperium,
intensive lactation, machine milking, oestrus, high pregnancy, dry period, 
grouping of animals, disturbed social relations, dehorning, castration, hoof
trimming, transport, sudden changes in microclimatic conditions and feed quality,
etc. Excessive disturbances before slaughtering cattle also cause a strong stress
reaction. In modern housing systems, animal disturbance, immobilization of
animals, restriction of movement, significant reduction of living space, strong
painful stimuli, dystocia, pain during uterine prolapse, castration and acute
inflammatory processes in the udder and uterus are also strong stressors.
Unfavourable social relations between animals in the group are usually very strong
stressors that lead to disturbances of their behavioural patterns. As a consequence 
of the action of numerous stressors, behavioural disorders, reduction of growth and 
milk production, the occurrence of metabolic and reproductive disorders, the 
occurrence of infectious diseases, reduction of meat and milk quality most often 
occur.

abstract = "The paper describes the effects of different rearing conditions as 
possible stressors on health, reproduction, growth, milk yield and quality of meat
and milk. It was pointed out that numerous internal and external factors of cattle
affect the physiological processes, health, reproduction, growth, milk yield and
quality of milk and meat as very strong stressors. They are especially important
when acting immediately after parturition, i.e. in the puerperium in cows and
immediately after birth in calves. In intensive cattle production, the most important
complex stressors regardless of origin, and physiological conditions in which these 
animals are more susceptible to distress are parturition, calf birth, puerperium,
intensive lactation, machine milking, oestrus, high pregnancy, dry period, 
grouping of animals, disturbed social relations, dehorning, castration, hoof
trimming, transport, sudden changes in microclimatic conditions and feed quality,
etc. Excessive disturbances before slaughtering cattle also cause a strong stress
reaction. In modern housing systems, animal disturbance, immobilization of
animals, restriction of movement, significant reduction of living space, strong
painful stimuli, dystocia, pain during uterine prolapse, castration and acute
inflammatory processes in the udder and uterus are also strong stressors.
Unfavourable social relations between animals in the group are usually very strong
stressors that lead to disturbances of their behavioural patterns. As a consequence 
of the action of numerous stressors, behavioural disorders, reduction of growth and 
milk production, the occurrence of metabolic and reproductive disorders, the 
occurrence of infectious diseases, reduction of meat and milk quality most often 
occur.",

AB  - The welfare of dairy cattle is a complex phenomenon, which
requires multilevel, multidimensional and planned approach. Precision livestock
farming (PLF) enables farm animal welfare focusing from the group level to
monitoring and managing individual animals of different categories, which is
enabled by use of new advanced technologies.
The basic principle of precision agriculture is the use of sensor
technologies in order to improve the efficiency of given narrow thresholds resource
use. A range of precision livestock monitoring and control technologies have been
developed, primarily to improve livestock production efficiency, but more precise
and delicate use may be very applicable in early detection of certain conditions, for
example initial lameness in dairy cows, real-time surveillance when calving, or
distant body temperature variations measuring of individual animals, when early
and more efficient therapeutic measures could be undertaken. Environmental
monitoring and control in barns can improve animal comfort, and automatic
milking systems facilitate animal choice and improve human-animal interactions.
According literature data, previous and future investigations are
encouraging possibility of PLF mechanisms use into automated barn surveillance
systems in order to assess, control and improve dairy cattle welfare in entire
production process through prompt reaction.

AB  - This study was carried to determine if dietary tryptophan can be beneficial for piglets in period of weaning. Trial was conducted
on 84 individuals (Landrace×Yorkshire) female and castrated male piglets, at 30 days of age, and of 9.78±0.42 kg. Test subjects
were penned into four groups and allocated to four different diets. This was done opposite to standard farm procedure; all
piglets penned in same group came from different litters. Animals were fed ad libitum for six days. Piglets in trial groups were
fed with basically same mixture with different levels of digestible L-tryptophan (0.1; 0.2; 0.3%). Productive performance (FCR;
ADG; ADFI) was calculated and behavior characteristics (postures, mounting, abnormal and aggressive behavior) were observed
using CCTV cameras. For the purpose of production performance analysis one way ANOVA was used while the Tukey test served
to determine the statistical significance of the differences between individual means values. Considering that there is no normal
distribution for behavioral parameters, we used non parametric Kruskal-Wallis test with multiple comparisons of mean rank
between groups. Productive results showed that control group had significantly better results for average daily gain compared
to all trial groups (p<0.05), other productive parameters didn’t show any significant difference. On the other hand, statistically
significant results occurred for two behavioral characteristics. Fighting differed significantly (p<0.05), during first day of weaning
between control and trial groups, intensive ear biting occurred at day two and three after weaning, and different significantly
on day three (p<0.05). According to our results tryptophan had no positive effects on productive performance (feed intake, daily
weight gain and feed conversion), but had some positive effects on reducing aggressive behavior. Conclusion could be that implementing
small doses of tryptophan on weaning can be beneficial to reducing stress and behavioral anomalies of piglets. Further
more extensive studies should be carried to verify these results.

AB  - The body weight of calves in the earliest period of their life (age
from 0 to 7 days) is under the greatest influence of the farm and the season of birth.
The farm manifests its influence most often through the conditions of nutrition and
housing and the organization of the technological production process, while the
influence of the birth season is manifested through microclimatic and nutritional
conditions, as well. The most common deficiencies related to the nutrition of
newborn calves are related to: inadequate colostrum supply in terms of quality,
quantity and time of colostrum intake, which is closely related to the organization
of the technological production process on the farm. Dietary deficiencies affect the
body weight of calves at birth and at 8 days of age. In a study conducted over a
year (4 seasons), the colostrum diet of newborn calves of the HF breed on two
farms (A and B) with a tied housing system was analyzed. Calves were fed
colostrum on both farms at intervals, usually up to 2 hours, less often up to 4 hours
after birth. The colostrum consumed came from the mother, most often, and less
often from the other cow, while on one of the farms it was also used frozen.
However, the amount of colostrum consumed was deficient, it was 1-2 l on farm A,
and 2.5 to 3 l on farm B. The occurence of a deficient diet or other deficiencies in
the diet of calves was indicated by the average body weight, measured at birth and
at the age of 8 days. On farm A, a lower average body weight of calves (37.95 and
39.68 kg) was recorded than on farm B (40.00 and 41.80 kg) by age categories,
respectively. The average body weight of calves was statistically significantly (p
<0.01) influenced by the farm and the season of birth, as well as their mutual
interaction, but the effect of the farm was more pronounced.

AB  - The investigation was performed on two groups of primiparous and multiparous healthy dewormed Alpine dairy goats (25 each) during peripartal period. Blood samples were collected (jugular venipuncture) 10-15 days before and 10-15 and 30 days after the parturition into BD SST-II Advance (3.5 mL) and BD NaF 3.0 mg Na2EDTA 6.0 mg (2 mL) vacutainers, cooled and
centrifuged (1500 r/min, 15 minutes and ≤1300 r/min, 10 minutes, respectively). Glucose, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) concentrations in blood sera were determined using A15 automatic spectrophotometric analyzer (Biosystem, Spain). Simultaneously, body condition scoring (BCS) was performed by Villaquiran et al. (2007) method. The obtained data were analyzed by IBM SPSS statistics 21. The glucose concentration inclined to increase in both groups. Differences between glucose levels were significant (P<0.05) 15 days before and 15 days after, as well as 15 and 30 days after the parturition, and very significant (P<0.01) 15 days before and 30 days after the parturition. The BHBA blood levels significantly differed 15 days before and 30 days after and 15 and 30 days after the parturition (P<0.05). BHBA concentration peaked at week 2 postpartum, following the increase of NEFA, providing the substrate for BHBA synthesis. NEFA levels significantly (P<0.05) differed 15 days before and 15 days after the parturition. Goats’ BCS ranged from 2 to 4 and significantly depended on glucose (r=0.392; P<0.05) and BHBA (r=0.317; P<0.05) level 15 days before parturition. BCS 30 days postpartum very significantly depended on the glucose level (r=0.450; P<0.01), significantly higher than the concentration of BHBA (r=0.351; P<0.05) and NEFA concentration (r=-0.304; P<0.05). BCS 15 days before parturition did not depend on the NEFA concentration. Fifteen days after the parturition BCS did not statistically depend on the observed indicators. Obtained data suggest that knowledge of BCS and energy indicators levels may be very useful in research and practice in order to appreciate energy metabolism of pregnant and lactating dairy ruminants, particularly dairy goats. These data are poorly documented for goats, but they can reveal early pathological metabolic changes in transiting female goat organism, enabling successful prophylactic, as well as, therapeutic intervention.

AB  - The effects of the use of antibiotics and garlic powder in the
nutrition of weaning piglets were compared. The trial included 120 weaned piglets
of the same genotype (Large White) distributed in three feeding treatments. In the
first study period (day 27-56), a feed mixture with 20% protein was used, while in
the second period (day 57-84), a mixture with 18% protein. The control group was
fed with mixtures containing antibiotics in the amount of 0.2%, while the two
experimental groups were fed with mixtures containing fermented garlic powder
(FGP) in the concentration of 0.05% and 0.2%. The obtained results showed that
the use of FGP, instead of antibiotics, resulted in better gain in second trial group,
and also better feed conversion ratio, in both trial groups by 3.84% and 6.93%
respectively, during the entire research period.

diseases and diarrhea occurrence, and mortality during the first month of calves’ life. The study was conducted on two tie-stall–system
farms with intensive milk production and similar nutrition of dairy cows, but with differences in rearing conditions of calves in the first
week of life. The calves were tied on lying area with straw as bedding material (farm A) or free in individual boxes with straw bedding
(farm B). In the first consumption, they take 1–2 L of colostrum produced by their mother or by another cow (farm A), or 2.5–3 L of
colostrum produced by their mother or by another cow or frozen colostrum (farm B). According to the results, average body mass of
calves was significantly higher on farm B than of those on farm A at all ages (on birth, at 8 days, and 30 days). Mortality rate and diarrhea
occurrence in calves were higher on farm B, while respiratory system diseases incidence was higher on farm A. All observed welfare
indicators were very significantly (P < 0.01) influenced by farm conditions and birth season

AB  - Field experiences and scientific observations point out the need
to define a guide which would describe widely applicable general principles and
good practices for ensuring the welfare of dairy cattle. The key action areas in the
guide should be stockmanship, feed and water, living environment, husbandry
practices and health management. There is a set of principles in each of these key
action areas that should be used to further define the good practice of ensuring
dairy cattle welfare in farms. The most important issue for the implementation of
good welfare practices for dairy cows is stockmanship. Appropriate nutrition is a
basic requirement and it is considered to have a great role to ensure good dairy
cattle welfare. Environment, space, equipment, microclimatic and hygienic
conditions significantly influence the welfare of dairy cattle. Dairy cattle should be
treated with care and in a consistent manner, taking into account their natural
behaviour all the time, and in any case minimizing the risk of injury and distress.
For the welfare of dairy cattle of particular importance are many health conditions
as: lameness, mastitis, injuries, acidosis, milk fever and other metabolic diseases,
diarrhoea and anaemia of calves, respiratory diseases, heat stress, arthritis and
many contagious diseases. It is necessary to introduce systematic training of
stockpersons in our country with special attention to stockmanship and
responsibility, feed and water, living environment, husbandry practices and health
management in order to achieve a stable system of ensuring good dairy cattle
welfare.

AB  - In this review paper, contradictions in modern livestock production
as dilemmas of farm animal welfare are considered. The main dilemma concerns
the question of whether extensive production in small farms is generally better than
intensive production in large farms. The next dilemma relates to an intensive
selection of animals and its impact on the emergence of welfare problems. Another
dilemma is related to the two main interconnected problems of pig welfare in
individual farrowing pens: the piglet death by crushing and the sows’ movement
restriction. Similarly, welfare dilemma is the paradox of parent flocks of broiler
line breeding that could not be solved until the pressure for genetic advancement in
production is required due to the economic efficiency. The next example of the
dilemma is the widespread practice of tail docking in piglets in order to reduce the
risk of tail biting. Although the tail docking is painful and may cause death,
anesthesia is usually not applied on farms. A similar example of the dilemma is
debeaking in the laying hens and the occurrence of feather pecking in free rearing
systems. It is important to notice the difference between the described dilemmas,
where one premise opposes the other, which is essentially a conflict between the
animal welfare goals and other values, such as economic, ethical and moral issues.
Finally, there are also some dilemmas about the consumers’ willingness to pay a
higher price of products that originate from welfare friendly rearing conditions.

AB  - The manifestation of various forms of behavioural disorder in calves up to 30 days old was monitored on two farms for a year during four seasons in one year. On both farms calves were separated from mothers immediately after birth. On the farm A calves were tied in the first week of life, while at the farm B they were kept in individual boxes. 
The following forms of behavioural disorder have been reported: apathy, twisting of the tongue, licking of the substrate and intersucking, while the appearance of aggression between calves has not been recorded.
Apathy was recorded in 16.28% of calves at farm A, most commonly in the age of 0-7 and 15 days, and in 84 calves (14.69%) at farm B, most often in the period immediately after birth. The occurrence of tongue twisting was recorded in 0.50% calves at farm A (2 at the age of 22 days and 1 at the age of 30), while no cases were reported at farm B. Calves were more susceptible to the licking of substrates (walls, fences, truncheons and other equipment) on both farms, since this phenomenon was observed in 8.89% of calves at farm A and 8.39% of calves at farm B at different ages; most often at the age of 30 days at Farm A, and at the age of 22 days at Farm B, while in the youngest age was the most common occurrence of this form of behaviour. Also, during the examined period on both farms there was a phenomenon of mutual calves sucking, 2.35% of calves at farm A, most often at the age of 22 days and 3.32% of calves at farm B, most often at the age of 8 and 22 days. The occurrence of the behavioral disorders in calves was the most frequent during the winter period, and the least frequent during autumn.
The observed behavioural disorders indicate poor welfare quality. It is thought to have been caused by failures in the technology of keeping and accommodation, as well as early separation of calves from mothers. They are caused by disabling calves to satisfy basic physiological needs in behaviour and contact with other animals or as a result of exposure to pain, fear and stress.

AB  - The aim of this study was to analyze the overall welfare state on Serbian dairy farms, as well to suggest measures for its improvement. The assessment was done according to Welfare Quality® Assessment Protocol for Dairy Cows on 16 selected commercial farms in which the cows of Simmental and Holstein-Friesian breeds were reared (N=4833). Welfare state on each farm was evaluated by relevant measures that indicated insurance of appropriate feeding, housing, health and behavior as basic principles of welfare. Overall score (0-100 points) enabled finally categorization of farms into one of four welfare category (not classified, acceptable, enhanced and excellent).Based on results, half of the farms were assigned to acceptable, and other half to enhanced welfare category. Housing conditions on the majority of farms (63%) were assessed as unacceptable (≤20 points) due to poor hygiene and discomfort. Cows were kept tied continuously on more than one third of farms which together with lack of pasture (17 days/year on average) restricting their comfort and freedom of movement. This may be also linked to low scored behavioral insurance (32points), especially inability to express its natural forms (6.7 points).Health condition was estimated as acceptable, but endangered welfare by high incidence of laminitis (38%), distocya (4.2%) and mortality (6.7%). Commonly performed dehorning procedure (79%) without anesthetic/analgesic application caused pain and stress in affected animals. Overall assessment score (2.5/5) showed the need for improvement in all areas of dairy cows' welfare, especially in terms of their housing and management.
AB  - Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se analizira stanje dobrobiti na mlečnim farmama u Srbiji, kao i da se predlože mere za njegovo unapređenje. Ocena stanja dobrobiti obavljena je putem Protokola za ocenu kvaliteta dobrobiti mlečnih krava na 16 odabranih komercijalnih farmi na kojima su gajene krave simentalske i holštajn-frizijske rase (N=4833). Stanje dobrobiti na svakoj od farmi procenjivano je na osnovu relavantnih pokazatelja koji ukazuju na stepen obezbeđenja odgovarajuće ishrane, uslova držanja, zdravlja i ponašanja kao osnovnih principa dobrobiti. Ukupan skor (0-100 poena) omogućio je konačnu kategorizaciju farmi u jednu od četiri kategorije stanja kvaliteta dobrobiti (nezadovoljavajuću, prihvatljivu, odgovarajuću i odličnu). Prema rezultatima istraživanja, jedna polovina farmi svrstana je u kategoriju prihvatljivog, a druga polovina farmi u kategoriju odgovarajućeg kvaliteta dobrobiti. Uslovi držanja su na većini farmi (63%) ocenjeni nezadovaljavajuće (≤20 poena) zbog loše higijene i diskomfora. Na više od trećine farmi krave su držane vezano tokom cele godine, što udruženo sa slabom primenom ispaše (17 dana/godini prosečno) značajno ograničava njihov komfor i slobodu kretanja. Ovo je svakako u vezi i sa niskom ocenom obezbeđenja odgovarajućeg ponašanja (32 poena), posebno kada je u pitanju mogućnost ispoljavanja njegovih prirodnih oblika (6.7 poena). Zdravstveno stanje u proseku je ocenjeno kao prihvatljivo, ali su visoka incidenca laminitisa (38%), otežanih telenja (4.2%) i mortalitet (6.7%) prepoznati kao glavni činioci rizika po dobrobit. Uobičajena praksa izvođenja obezrožavanja (79%) bez primene anestetika/analgetika na farmama u Srbiji uzrok je bola i stresa kod životinja. Prosečan skor celokupno ocenjene dobrobiti (2.5/5) ukazuje na potrebu za unapređenjem u svim segmentima obezbeđenja dobrobiti mlečnih krava, posebno menadžmenta i uslova držanja.

AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate changes of serum testosterone, scrotal circumference, body weight, and semen characteristics in a Meat Institute Sheep (MIS) population during their developing period (between 3 and 17 months). Correlative relationships among parameters were also tested. Body weight and scrotal circumference were measured monthly, blood samples for testosterone levels were taken bimonthly (3-17 months), and semen samples were collected by an electroejaculator between the ages of 9 and 17 months. The analysis showed that the average serum testosterone levels ranged from 1.83 to 13.28 ng/mL and significantly depended on the age of the lambs (P  (lt)  0.05). The trend in the level of serum testosterone was characterized by pronounced variability throughout the study period. Changes in scrotal circumference and body weight were significantly dependent on age. Ejaculate volume, sperm motility, and the percentage of live spermatozoa increased with age, except for the percentage of abnormal spermatozoa, which decreased with age. Correlations among serum testosterone, scrotal circumference, and body weight were moderately to highly positive and highly significant. All parameters of semen quality were poorly correlated with testosterone and body weight, while scrotal circumference was in moderate correlation only with ejaculate volume and live sperm count (P  (lt)  0.05).

AB  - The purpose of this study was to investigate fertility in the ewes of MIS sheep population following synchronized oestrus in anoestrus season and natural oestrus during breeding season. Research was carried out on an experimental sheep farm of the Institute for Animal Husbandry in Belgrade. The study included 76 ewes and 6 rams of MIS sheep population (three breed crosses of Pirot Pramenka, Württemberg and Ile de France breed). In anoestrus season, oestrus was synchronized in 43 ewes using progestagen impregnated vaginal sponges (30 mg fluorogestone acetate) in combination with 750 IU PMSG. During the breeding season, 33 ewes were bred naturally to 6 rams, without the use of exogenous hormones. Teaser rams with marking-harnesses and abdominal aprons were used to detect females in oestrus. Obtained fertility and productivity results in anoestrus and breeding season were as follows: lambing rate 69.77% (30/43) and 100% (33/33) (P<0.05).

AB  - Three farms of dairy cows (A, B and C) were observed for health disorders of dairy cows and suckling calves. Farm A is farm with tied system of rearing, with 1100 cows, while farms B and C have 400 and 600 cows kept loose with outdoor pens, respectively. Data regarding welfare criteria of dairy cows (health, feeding, housing and behaviour) were collected and analysed through Protocol of Welfare Quality (2009). Health disorders of dairy cows and suckling calves were collected and statistically analysed by chi-square test (X2 test). Welfare of all of three dairy farms were assessed as acceptable, meaning that provided welfare conditions meet the minimum requirements of animals. Principle of provision of good health was rated as acceptable (≥20 points) on farm A, while on farms with loose system (B and C) overall health rated as excellent (≥80 points). Occurrence rate of reproductive, locomotor, skin and claws disorders and digestive and systemic disorders of dairy cows and calves up to 4 months old were very different between three farms (A, B, C) with X2-values of 2901.71, 252.02, 204.08, 1152.31 and 184.23 respectively; α (lt) 0.01). According presented data, it is obvious that the majority health problems were observed in tied system of rearing, on farm A, such as reproductive disorders and mastitis, as well as injuries and bad body score and lame cows. The most serious health problems of the calves were diarrhea and bronchopneumonia of different etiology.
AB  - Tri farme muznih krava (A, B i C) su analizirane u pogledu zdravstvenih poremećaja i dobrobiti krava i teladi. Na farmi A je zastupljen vezani sistem držanja sa 1100 krava, dok se na farmama B i C sa 400 odnosno 600 grla, krave drže slobodno. Podaci o dobrobiti mlečnih krava (zdravlje, ishrana, smeštaj i ponašanje) su prikupljeni i analizirani primenom protokola za ocenu kvaliteta dobrobiti (Anon, 2009). Poremećaji zdravlja krava u laktaciji i teladi su prikupljeni i statistički analizirani hi-kvadrat testom (X2 test). Dobrobit na sve tri mlečnih farmi je ocenjena kao prihvatljiva jer zadovoljava minimalne zahteve životinja. Princip obezbeđenja dobrog zdravlja je ocenjen kao prihvatljiv (≥20 bodova) na farmi A, dok je na farmama sa slobodnim sistemom (B i C) ocenjen kao odlično (≥80 poena). Pojava reproduktivnih, lokomotornih, digestivnih i sistemskih poremećaja mlečnih krava i teladi do 4 meseca starosti se veoma razlikovala između tri farme različite veličine i sistema uzgoja, sa x2-vrednostima 2901,71, 252.02, 204.08 , 1152,31 i 184,23, redom (α  (lt) 0,01). Prema iznetim podacima, češća pojava zdravstvenih problema je uočena u vezanom sistemu uzgoja, na farmi A, u pogledu reproduktivnih poremećaja, mastitisa, povreda, loše telesne kondicije i hromosti krava, kao i proliva i bronhopneumonija teladi različite etiologije.

AB  - This study was conducted in five dairy farms with different capacity (farms A with 47, B 12, C 10, D 14 and E 24 Simmental cows, aged between 4 and 5 years and body weight about 600 kg) in order to determine a relationship between rearing system, Animal Needs Index (ANI) and milk traits. Loose system of cow rearing was used in open stalls in farms A and C, while in other farms cows were tied in closed stalls. In two farms, there were outdoor pens, permanently available to cows on farm A, and during daytime on farm D. Rations for dairy cows were equal in all five farms and suitable for daily milk production about 20 kg with 4.0 % milk fat and 3.5 % milk protein. It was established that total ANI scores for farms were A 35.5, B 9.5, C 24.5, D 26.5 and E 10.5. The welfare levels in farms B and E were not sufficient, in farms C and D were very good, while in farm A it was excellent. A very significant influence of rearing system on cow welfare was found (p (lt) 0.001). A significant influence of rearing system (p (lt) 0.01) on average daily milk yield, milk yield in standard lactation, milk fat (kg), yield of 4 % fat corrected milk and yield of proteins (kg) were noticed. The influence of the rearing system on milk fat content (%), dry matter (%), protein (%) and lactose (%) was not statistically significant. Differences between ANI score, daily and standard lactation milk yield were very significant (p (lt) 0.001), as well as differences between ANI and the amount of milk fat (kg), protein (kg) and amount of 4 % fat corrected milk.

AB  - The aim of this study was to find out is it possible to presume success of boars sperm cryopreservation, based on controlled exposure to heat stress and to investigate in vitro quality parameters of frozen/thawed sperm of previously selected 6 boars with good results (group 1) and 6 boars (group 2) with bad results on thermo resistance test (TT). In this investigation, ejaculates of 12 chosen of 75 AI boars (Landrace, Large White, Pietrain and Durock breeds) from SVC Velika Plana (Serbia) were used. Tolerance to heat stress was performed by Schaetz (1963) method. Ejaculates were extended with Androhep plus (1:1) and kept during 60 minutes on 41oC. In cryopreservation of boars semen Westendorf et al. (1975) method, modified by Bwanga et al. (1990). Very significant changes of progressive motility rate were observed after spermatozoa exposure to controlled thermal stress. High correlation coefficient of progressive motility rate of both groups of boars, but higher in group 2 for progressive motility rate after thawing and after heat stress treatment was established. Average progressive motility rate of all 12 boars did not differ before and after thawing. Presence of boars of all breeds represented in the SVC (Large White, Landrace, Duroc and Pietrain) in both quality groups confirms the assumption that suitability for cryopreservation of sperm is individual trait. According data analysis, sperm deep freezing success requires previous selection for potential donors, which have to be consider standard quality parameters testing and controlled stress exposure tests.

U istraživanju su korišćeni ejakulati 12 od 75 nerastova rasa: landras, veliki jorkšir, pijetren i durok (L, J, P, D) iz SVC Velika Plana, odabranih na osnovu testa termorezistencije (TT) i svrstanih u dve kvalitetne grupe.

Slučajni raspored nerastova svih rasa zastupljenih u SVC (Jorkšir, Landras, Durok i Pijetren) u obe kvalitetne grupe potvrđuje pretpostavku da je pogodnost sperme za krioprezervaciju individualna osobina. Za uspešnu krioprezervaciju sperme nerastova je neophodna prethodna selekcija potencijalnih donora na osnovu rezultata ispitivanja standardnih parametara kvaliteta i testova u kojima se spermatozoidi in vitro izlažu različitim kontrolisanom stresu.

AB  - In this paper are described the most important stressors in intensive sheep production on farms and pastures. Stressors on farms and pastures mostly originate from adverse housing conditions, improper zootechnical procedures, veterinary procedures (treatment, vaccinations, blood tests, surgery), animal husbandry procedures (labeling, weaning, grouping, shearing, shortening the tail, hoof care), unsuitable weather conditions (extreme heat and cold) and insufficient nutrition. The paper puts out special emphasis on the consideration of period of life in which sheep were subjected to additional loads and susceptible to effects of these stressors, such as birth, juvenile period, puberty, oestrus, advanced pregnancy, parturition and the puerperal period.
AB  - U radu su opisani najznačajniji stresori ovaca u intenzivnim uslovima proizvodnje na farmama i pašnjacima.

abstract = "In this paper are described the most important stressors in intensive sheep production on farms and pastures. Stressors on farms and pastures mostly originate from adverse housing conditions, improper zootechnical procedures, veterinary procedures (treatment, vaccinations, blood tests, surgery), animal husbandry procedures (labeling, weaning, grouping, shearing, shortening the tail, hoof care), unsuitable weather conditions (extreme heat and cold) and insufficient nutrition. The paper puts out special emphasis on the consideration of period of life in which sheep were subjected to additional loads and susceptible to effects of these stressors, such as birth, juvenile period, puberty, oestrus, advanced pregnancy, parturition and the puerperal period., U radu su opisani najznačajniji stresori ovaca u intenzivnim uslovima proizvodnje na farmama i pašnjacima.

AB  - The social rank refers to the relative position of an individual animal within the dominant hierarchy developed in a group. In rams, social rank is mostly associated with body mass, body size and body condition. However, although the body mass is generally considered as one of the main determinants of social rank, only few studies have been carried out for the purpose of associating of the social behavior and body development of these animals. Objective of this research was to determine how the ram body development measures relate to establishment of social hierarchy. Social rank was established using food competition test at the age of animals between 4 and 17 months. Testing was done on total of 20 male animals of which number 12 animals were selected for further testing (6 dominant and 6 submissive animals). Body mass and testicular circumferences were measured at the age of 4, 7, 12 and 18 months, and linear body measures were taken at the age of 12 and 18 months. Dominant males had higher body mass and greater testicular circumference. The social rank had no significant effect on linear body measures of rams, except for chest girth (P (lt) 0.05) in both control periods. Body mass was moderately to highly positively associated with studied body parameters. Significant positive correlations were established between body mass and body length (r=0.58; P (lt) 0.01), chest width (r=0.44; P (lt) 0.05), chest girth (r=0.65; P (lt) 0.01) and testicular circumference (r=0.62; P (lt) 0.01). Results obtained in this study indicate that it is justified to observe the body mass as one of the main determinants of social rank, as well as the possibility of earlier maturation of dominant animals.
AB  - Socijalni rang se odnosi na relativnu poziciju individue unutar dominantne hijerarhije koja se razvija u grupi. Kod ovnova, socijalni rang se najviše povezuje sa telesnom masom, veličinom tela i telesnom kondicijom. Međutim, iako se telesna masa generalno smatra jednom od glavnih determinanti socijalnog ranga, malo je istraživanja sprovedeno u cilju povezivanja socijalnog ponašanja i telesne razvijenosti ovih životinja. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se utvrdi na koju način se mere telesne razvijenosti ovnova odnose prema uspostavljanju socijalne hijerarhije. Socijalni rang utvrđen je pomoću testa kompeticije na hranu kada su životinje bile u uzrastu od 4 i 7 meseci. Testiranje je obavljeno na ukupno 20 muških grla od čega je za dalje ispitivanje odabrano 12 grla (6 dominantnih i 6 submisivnih). Telesna masa i obim testisa mereni su u uzrastu od 4, 7, 12 i 18 meseci, a linearne telesne mere su izmerene u uzrastu od 12 i 18 meseci. Dominantna grla su imala veću telesnu masu i veći obim testisa. Socijalni rang nije imao značajan uticaj na linearne telesne mere ovnova, izuzev na meru obima grudi (P (lt) 0,05) u oba kontrolna perioda. Telesna masa bila je umereno do visoko pozitivno povezana sa ispitivanim telesnim parametrima. Značajne pozitivne korelacije utvrđene su između telesne mase i dužine trupa (r=0,58; P (lt) 0,01), širine grudi (r=0,44; P (lt) 0,05), obima grudi (r=0,65; P (lt) 0,01) i obima testisa (r=0,62; P (lt) 0,01). Rezultati koji proizilaze iz ove studije ukazuju na opravdanost posmatranja mase tela kao jedne od glavnih determinanti socijalnog ranga, kao i na mogućnost ranijeg sazrevanja dominantnih jedinki.
