Možda se ne čini mnogo za jednu instituciju, ali je to čitav prosječni životni vijek jednog čovjeka. Davne 1949. godine počinje razvoj našeg Fakulteta, koji poslije brojnih problema ekonomske, političke pa i ratne prirode izrasta u jednu od najjačih članica Univerziteta u Sarajevu i postaje respektabilna naučna i stručana ustanova posebno u Bosni i Hercegovini, ali i u regionalnim i međunarodnim okvirima. Kada pogledamo unazad, možemo biti više nego ponosni na ostvareno, a naročito na broj diplomiranih veterinara/ doktora veterinarske medicine Veterinarskog fakulteta koji su zaposlenje našli širom svijeta te i na taj način promovišu vrijednosti naše institucije.

During the centuries taking in the account all companion animals cats always had one of the most important roles in all aspects of human life. By exploring the literature it could be stated that cats were always subject of human interest throughout whole human history, from the religion to art and further. First records about cat domestication could be found in the ancient Egyptian and Indian documents. First records regarding the cats were registered in China 1000 BC, and after that in other parts of Asia. In Europe intensive cat carrying has started at the end of the 19th century. A merchants brought different cat breeds from all over the world to Europe. Domestication of cat is related to start of agriculture era in human history. Cats were from crucial importance for humans in that period because they protected their grain from pests. Today, there are 70 cat breeds with the big number of different varieties. The fact is that the percent of pure breed cats is very low. The cat carrying is very important in the modern science, especially in application of genetic knowledge in biomedicine. By this book authors want to give a contribution to education of students and cat fanciers from different areas of felinology.

Increasing Pramenka's dairy skills is one of the quality directions with expected positive results. Awassi, as a highly adaptable and dairy breed, has all the prerequisites to be a strategic meliorator towards the creation of high-dairy F1 generation with pramenka. Analyzing the production characteristics of these two breeds, geographic and socioeconomic characteristics in BiH, and referring to positive experiences from Macedonia, the need of directing the sheep strategy in the aforementioned direction becomes clear. Also, it is an imperative to start a pilot project in BiH aimed at exploring the significance of enrichment of Pramenka with Awassi rams.

The length of daylight - day and night and annual cyclicality in outside air temperature are pronounced in moderate geographic areas, to which the area of our research, central Bosnia, belongs. Considering that cattle breeders in this part of Bosnia and Herzegovina choose the nomadic cattle breeding, the animals involved in the study were in free breeding and exposed to the influence of climatic factors of their environment. Reproduction is relied upon managing follicular development - folliculogenesis, hence it is the same case in the sheep production. Folliculogenesis is a process that takes places in the reproductive chain throughout the year, but the intensity and the dynamics of follicle development vary from season to season. The most intensive development of follicle with ovulation occurs in mating season, when normal hormonal picture is established, with the consequence of establishing sexual cyclicality. In order to have a more clear insight in the development of follicle and the overall situation of the ovaries during the mating season of Dubska pramenka, we studied the development of follicle. Histologic examination of the ovaries showed that the intensity of follicular activity slightly higher on the right ovary in relation to the left, which was reflected in the development of tertiary follicles and corpora lutea.

Ten microsatellite loci used in this study are appropriate for assessing the genetic diversity for this breed. Measures of genetic diversity were estimated based on allelic and genotypic calculations, observed (HO) and expected (HE) heterozygosities, deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and polymorphism information content (PIC). The lowest genetic diversity was estimated for locus PEZ20, and the highest for PEZ6 locus. Observed and expected mean heterozygosities were 0.7261 and 0.7392, respectively. Statistically significant deviation (p<0.05) from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was found for PEZ1, PEZ12, PEZ3 and PEZ6 loci.

Para ello se realizó un estudio descriptivo multidimensional con la aplicación de encuestas a 262 jóvenes de 5 universidades que ofrecen formación profesional en mercadeo. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes de esta materia se definen en 2 escenarios centrales. El primero, con creencias similares en cuanto a intereses sociales y políticos, y diferencias en la percepción de la proyección laboral debido, principalmente, a las actividades que desempeñan según la jornada en la que estudian (diurna o nocturna). En segundo lugar, se identificaron algunas características asociadas a problemas como la inestabilidad laboral, los relacionados con la salud, familiares, en el trabajo y hasta en las relaciones de pareja. Lo anterior pone en evidencia la necesidad de integrar a los contextos académicos acciones relacionadas tanto con el desarrollo curricular e investigativo como con la orientación o consejería académica que facilite procesos de atención a problemáticas personales y actividades de esparcimiento que se ajusten a las identidades y estilos de vida de los estudiantes del programa de mercadeo. Se espera que estos resultados aporten a la gestión administrativa y académica que redunden en una mejor formación y atención de los estudiantes como consumidores.

One hundred and twenty broiler chickens were divided into three groups; each group comprised 40 chickens. At the end of the first week of the fattening period 20 chickens in each group were marked by random sampling. The first testing group (P 1 ) represented the one with a lower stocking density (12 chickens per square meter); the second one (P 2 ) with a higher stocking density (18 chickens per square meter), while the control group (K) was set in accordance with the technological recommendations (15 chickens per square meter). Breast circumference, drumstick circumference, keel length (crista sterni), breast depth and breast angle were monitored and measured on a weekly basis. Body conformation measures were determined on the carcasses in a horizontal position with their backs placed on the table. The appropriate instruments such as millimetre tape, caliper and ZP-3 protractor were used. In addition, a weekly live weight and feed consumption were measured. Production results (live weight, gain, feed-to-gain ratio and European Production Index (EPI) were calculated. Carcass grades were calculated based on the mass ratio of the cooled carcass and the live body weight before slaughtering. The research findings have confirmed that overcrowding in production facilities is always risky in regard to the expected production results. In contrast, by fully conforming to the production technology requirements, it is possible to achieve better production results.

Intensive broiler production has been improved in the last few decades especially in the fields of genetics, nutrition and technology, in order to achieve maximum growth broilers, the optimal utilization of food and high yields, especially white meat. Considering the above mentioned research was conducted in order to examine the impact of commercial probiotic products on the body conformation of the carcasses of chickens after 42 days of fattening. In experiment was used a total of 30 chickens provenience Cobb divided into two groups (P and K). Chickens from both groups were vaccinated according to the plan and program of immunoprophylaxis, and selected technical and technological solutions of accommodation, as well as feeding and watering chickens were in accordance with the recommendations of the selectors for the floor system rearing. Chickens of experimental group (P) were given in drinking water, a commercial probiotic Probios ®, a soluble powder for poultry, product of a company Chr. Hansen A / S, Denmark. Probiotic treatment of experimental groups of chickens was conducted the first three days of life and three days during the vaccination of chickens (the day before, on the day and the day after vaccination). Measures of body conformation (the breast circumference, keel length, breast depth, drumsticks circumference, shank length and breast angle) were determined on carcasses after the fattening of 42nd day using standard tools in livestock breeding. The results obtained from this study suggest that the usage of commercial probiotics in broiler chickens in intensive fattening has proved to be statistically significant on tested measure of body conformation.

Ten microsatellite loci used in this study are appropriate for assessing the genetic diversity of this breed. Measures of genetic diversity were estimated based on allelic and genotypic calculations, observed (HO) and expected (HE) heterozygosities, deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and polymorphism information content (PIC). The lowest genetic diversity was estimated for locus PEZ20, and the highest for PEZ6 locus. Observed and expected mean heterozygosities were 0.7261 and 0.7392, respectively. Statistically significant deviation (p<0.05) from Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium was found for PEZ1, PEZ12, PEZ3 and PEZ6 loci. The PIC values suggested that all markers (100%) are very informative (PIC > 0.5) in terms of their suitability for genetic diversity studies. When all observed parameters are taken into account (observed and expected heterozygosities, PIC, number of detective and effective alleles, number of detected and maximum possible genotypes, major allele frequency and major allele frequency index), we can conclude that PEZ6 locus shows the highest genetic diversity while PEZ3 displays the lowest. However, assuming values of observed and expected heterozygosities, as well as PIC, we consider loci PEZ20 to be the least diverse, but this locus has more effective alleles and more genotypes present than PEZ3. These preliminary results are the first genetic diversity survey of the Bosnian- Herzegovinian-Croatian Shepherd dog Tornjak in Bosnia and Herzegovina and could be useful to the dog breeders in designing and managing breeding strategies. Summarizing the information above, we can conclude that the population of the Bosnian- Herzegovinian-Croatian Shepherd dog Tornjak from B&H is not affected by substantial loss of genetic diversity. Results of our study indicate presence of reasonably high level of genetic variability and lead to a better understanding of this dog breed.

Climatic factors (latitude, insulation) had a great influence on the thickness of wool fibers in both breeds. The comparison of the results of median values of the thickness of wool fibers in May and November between the Pivska and Dubska Zeckel sheep. This breed in relation to average air temperature and degree of insulation showed certain discrepancies. The research studies showed that the thickness of wool fibers was smaller, i.e. the higher the temperature and the higher the number of sunny dayshours, the thinner and finer wool fibers, regardless of the Pramenka breed or season - spring and autumn. The data is a contribution to the research on the fineness of wool fibers and its use in a highly demanding textile industry, household, use for technical purposes and, in a way, its use as strategic ecological raw material.

Dr Nihad Fejzić, zamjenik direktora Ureda za veterinarstvo BiH SADRŽAJ: Bosna i Hercegovina je od decembra 2005 godine počela zvanične pregovore o Ugovoru o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju sa EU. Bruto nacionalni dohodak (GDP) 2001. godine je iznosio 10,233 milijarde KM, gdje primarna poljoprivredna proizvodnja učestvuje sa 12 % bruto nacionalnog dohotka ili 1,228 milijarde KM. U isto vrijeme za sektor poljoprivrede se izdvojilo oko 0,7% ukupnog državnog i entitetskih i kantonalnih budžeta. Procjena je, takođe, da stočarstvo učestvuje sa 50% ukupne poljoprivredne proizvodnje. Ovi pokazatelji su znatno niži od pokazatelja prije 1992. godine kao i u komparaciji sa istim pokazateljima u odnosu na zapadno europske zemlje.

According to statistical data obtained in 1990 and in 2009, number of cattle is decreased by 47%, sheep by 20%, pigs by 14%, horses by 49% whereas poultry is increased by 120,5%. Another negative consequence is eradication of indigenous breeds like Busa, Bosnian Mountain horse etc. Some improvements have been made, but our goal is to make best out of potential that we have. It is of a great importance not just for the livestock and animal breeding but also for economic development of the country. Key words: Agriculture, animal breeding
