The comparison of physical quality properties of table eggs of commercial hybrid Tetra SL and two native indigenous breeds of hens, Banat Naked Neck and Svrljig hen, was performed in conditions of alternative production in the pasture system in portable cages without the floor. The experiment was conducted during the vegetation period, at the age o...

The possibility for use of high light intensity in broiler production management to improve the health of broilers' legs was examined in a study aiming to determine the effect of two levels of light intensity in different stocking densities of broiler chickens. The study was carried out on 1200 Ross 308 broilers according to a random block system w...

In order to examine the attitude of egg consumers about the poultry welfare and their willingness to spend more money to buy eggs produced in accordance with animal welfare principles, 529 consumers were surveyed in three regions of Serbia (Belgrade, region of Šumadija and Western Serbia and South and Eastern Serbia region). Through the survey ques...

Dairy production does not directly depend on climate and other natural factors. Its specificity is that it depends on a number of other factors. Gross margin of dairy production, depends not only on simple products produced volumes of milk and the price, but also includes other elements such as the amount of milk that is consumed in the household,...

Apple pomace (AP) is the main by-product of apple juice production. Large amounts of this material disposed to landfills can cause serious environmental problems. One of the solutions is to utilize AP as animal feed. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of dried AP inclusion into model mixtures made from conventional feedstuffs, on p...

Abstract The relationship between claws treatment and somatic cell count in milk on 45 Simmental cows in age of 3 and 4 years (in the first and the second lactation) with observed claw changes in loose system of rearing and intensive production was analyzed in this paper. The somatic cell count (SCC) was determined by IDF staining and counting meth...

To investigate consumers’ attitudes towards a balanced diet and eggs as foodstuff, 509 consumers have been surveyed. Through this survey, the consumers answered questions about the importance of a balanced diet, importance of having eggs in diet, the most common way of egg consumption, benefits and drawbacks of eating eggs. The responses were analy...

The training courses for professional development of the advisors from the Agricultural Advisory Service of the Republic of Serbia, developed as part of the CaSA project (WP4), have been carried out by the Institute for Science Application in Agriculture. E-learning courses for agricultural advisors, as well as Training courses catalogue for 2015/2...

Apple pomace (AP) is the main by-product of apple juice production. It is a residue after pressing of apples for juice extraction. AP is an organic material, with high moisture and sugar content, therefore its direct disposal on landfills or land spreading causes serious environmental pollution. One of the solutions for further exploitation of AP c...

Agriculture still plays an important socio-economic role in Serbia. A large share of the Serbian population lives in rural areas. Therefore, agricultural and rural development (ARD) is of paramount importance for the sustainable development of the country. Agricultural extension and advisory services (AEAS) are a pillar and a building block of any...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of multi-phase feeding, i.e. the effect of different mash feeds with multi-phase protein reduction, on growth, main carcass parts a nd nitrogen content in faeces of broiler chickens. The experiment was conducted on 1216 chickens of Ross 308 provenience, separated by sex. The experiment lasted...

The objective of the research is to investigate effects of phytogenic additives as broiler feed supplements on production and slaughtering performances, morphological parameters and caecal microflora of fattening chickens of Ross 308 provenance. The research was based on two trials. In both trials, two feeding treatments were studied: a control die...

Objective of the research was to investigate the effect of phase nutrition, i.e. different mixtures used in broiler nutrition with phase reduction of protein cotnent during starter period on production peformances of fattening chickens of different genotypes and on nitrogen content in faeces. Differences between groups (treatments) were in the type...

In the last years Japanese quail (Conturnix coturnix japonica) is becoming more popular as a source of meat and eggs. Information on egg quality characteristics has been limited mostly to chicken eggs. The aim of this paper is to enhance the knowledge on the quality of quail eggs. In this study external and internal quality traits of quail eggs fro...

The importance of NIR technology in the animal food industry is presented in this study. As the example of the calibration procedure of NIR devices a calibration model for 14 samples of soybean cake was designed. Samples were previously analyzed in the standard laboratory testing of the moisture content, content of crude proteins, crude fats and cr...

Multiphase broiler nutrition is important from the standpoint of nutrition optimization, economical efficiency of production and protection of the environment. Objective of research is to investigate the effect of multiphase nutiriton, i.e. different mixtures used in broiler nutrition, whse protein content has been reduced in several phases during...

Objective of the paper was to investigate if adding of chromium in different forms (organic and inorganic) and levels (quantities) to mixtures for broilers has any effect on broiler meat traits. Investigation was carried out on 840 chickens divided into four groups - treatments. Differences between groups (treatments) were in the form (organic and...

** Communications Apstract: The aim of this work was parallel investigation of the producting characteristics of light line hen hybrids. Investigation enclosed two hen proveniences: Hisex Brown and Shawer 579. Within the period of 19 up to 63 weeks we followed next parameters: egg-laying hen body mass, mortality, food consumption and egg-laying cap...

The aim of this work was to present the production results of laying hens kept in different housing systems - conventional cages with different stocking densities, enriched cages or in houses with a range. The used hybrid was Shaver 579 (564 birds). The main production parameters were monitored: No. of laid eggs, laying percentage, mortality rate,...
