Serum profile is generally considered as comprehensive data which directly reflected animal health and their potential resistance to environmental, nutritional and pathological stress. The present study aimed to provide physiological reference values for selected biochemical parameters in Noi chickens, a famous Vietnamese native breed, at 56 days old. The collected blood samples of 355 Noi birds (164 males and 191 females) were used to evaluate biochemical serum profile. Glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, albumin/globulin ratio, triglycerides, cholesterol, creatinine, and uric acid in the serum were measured. The variation in these values arising from different sexes was also investigated. The results indicated that there were no differences (P>0.05) in the assessed indices between male and female Noi chickens. In overall for the whole group, these values were obtained as 250.86 mg/dL, 7.34 g/dL, 3.40 g/dL, 3.94 g/dL, 1.75, 148.54 mg/dL, 190.86 mg/dL, 0.44 mg/dL, and 1.44 mg/dL, respectively. The relationship among the biochemical parameters showed relatively low coefficients (r=0.79 in maximum). The females obtained higher correlation coefficients between levels of total protein and glucose (r=0.42) as well as between total protein and globulin (r=0.79), compared to the males. It was concluded that the male and female chickens performed similar values of serum indices. The contribution of this study might expand the knowledge on the biochemical profile and improved breeding strategies of Vietnamese indigenous Noi chickens.

For the association between of Follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) gene (partial part of exon 10) polymorphisms and litter size trait in Egyptian Ossimi sheep, polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing techniques were developed. Fifty female Ossimi sheep reared under Egyptian conditions were selected according to their litter size. DNA from blood samples of these animals was isolated to amplify 250-bp of the FSHR gene influencing litter size production trait in sheep. Based on litter size, 50 animals were selected from the highest to the lowest litter size productivity during three seasons. PCR-SSCP analysis of the FSHR gene (250-bp) showed two various genotypes AA and with frequencies 0.64 and 0.36, respectively. The frequencies of the A and B alleles were 0.82 and 0.18, respectively. PCR fragment of FSHR gene (191-bp) was sequenced only in the high and low litter size productivity animals (GenBank accession numbers from MG973191 to MG973207, sequentially). The result indicated that 6SNPs (G/71, G/72, G/77, A/110, A/111, A/191) in high fertile animals, while, 10 SNPs (T/1, C/2, T/14, A/69, A/70, A/71, A/74, G/74, A/75, A/136) have found in low fertile animals. Statistically, AA and genotypes have no significant differences (p> 0.05) on litter size trait in Ossimi sheep. FSHR (exon 10) locus was moderate polymorphic (PIC= 0.25) and it can be used for high litter size productivity in Ossimi sheep as a marker-assisted selection (MAS).

Pregnancy recognition in ruminant affects numerous genes regulation. Interferon-stimulatory gene (ISG15), an ubiquitin-like protein that mediates theconjugation of different proteins through its ISGylation enzymes UBE1L and UBCH8, is also differentially expressed during early pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of ISG-15 in the establishment of pregnancy and conceptus elongation during early post conception periods and to ascertain the presence of ISGylation enzymes UBE1L and UBCH8. Therefore, sheep were synchronized through cloprostenol sodium and gonadotrophin releasing hormone-1 and serviced by rams. The blood was collected on the post-mating days 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 21, 23 and 25. The ISG-15, UBE1L and UBCH8 primers were used to amplify the corresponding transcriptomic region using PCR. Recovery rate of each transcriptomic fragment was compared with the housekeeping gene GAPDH. ISG-15 expression was higher on day 12, contrary to UBE1L were higher on day 6 and UBCH8 on day 21. Furthermore, the ISG-15 is ubiquitin-like protein, mediates UBE1L and UBCH8 enzymes to guard the conceptus against viral pathogenicity during early pregnancy.

Quantitative genetic analysis of variability and relationship of lambs body weight traits in indigenous pirot sheep population are done. The examined lambs had high variability which very suitable for selection on a larger weight. There is a high and very significant correlation between the body weight of lambs with 30 and 60 days (.969 **) and the weight with 30 and 90 days (.914 **). There is also a highly significant correlation between the weights of lambs with 60 and 90 days of age (.904 **). From our research, we can see that the first month of the lamb's life is very important for the further development of the body. There is different level of correlation between weight of lambs. This gives us an idea to say that many paragenetic factors are crucial for the growth of lambs from birth to weaning. The coefficient of multiple determination (R2) is 0.845 which means that 8.45% of the lamb's body weight variance at 90 days is determined by the variance of the set of predictor variables (PI-60, 30, 1). Each increase in lamb body weight during the observed periods of age is associated with an increase in the score of depending variable PI90. In particular, any increase in lamb body weight at birth by 1 kg is associated with an increase in lamb body weight from 90 days by 0.238 kg.

The aim of this study was to replace fish meal (FM) with soy protein concentrate (SPC) in carp diets. During a carp feeding trial, the replacement of FM with SPC in four diets 100% replacement (SPC100); 50% replacement (SPC50); 25% replacement (SPC25), and; 0% replacement (SPC0) had no negative effects on the feed conversion ratio or the feed efficiency ratio of the live carp. However, significant differences in the specific growth rate and condition factor were found. The data obtained showed the four different carp diets led to differences in the chemical composition of the resultant carp meat. Between dietary treatments, significant differences were seen in the level of saturated fatty acids (FAs) in carp meat (P < 0.05). The levels of monounsaturated FAs and polyunsaturated FAs in carp meat differed significantly between dietary treatments (P ? 0.05). Pearson?s correlation coefficient indicates a statistically significant correlation between the FA composition of the diet and the resultant carp meat. It is possible to replace up to 25% of the FM with SPC. Diets SPC25 and SPC0 had no significant FA composition and had amino acid balances that, more than the other diets studied, closely met the requirements of the carp.

Enriching table eggs with certain nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids is an ongoing topic. Therefore, the aforementioned research was carried out with the aim of examining the possibility of feeding laying hens with ground flax seed, flax cake and flaxseed oil and their influence on the ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids of table eggs, as well as on certain production parameters. The experiment was set up in a production facility with 192 consuming laying hens 27 weeks old. The laying hens were divided into 4 groups: control group; group fed with flax cake (10%) + flax oil (2%); a group fed with 5% ground flax and a group fed with 10% ground flax. Each group had 8 cages with 6 laying hens, a total of 48 laying hens per group. The production parameters presented in this paper are as follows: number of eggs per laying hen , egg weight and yolk weight. Egg quality indicators were determined at the end of the 5th and 10th week from the start of the experiment, namely: pH of egg white and yolk, polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids ratio, as well as omega-3 and omega-3 fatty acids ratio. The results of the study showed that the inclusion of flax cake, flax oil and ground flaxseed had no negative effects on the shown production parameters and that there was a positive effect of these nutrients on the ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in table eggs.

The study of the production traits of 22 genotypes of fattening pigs was carried out on two pig farms (Farm A and Farm B) in Central Serbia, under the influence of the following factors: farm, genotype and sex of fattening pigs, and pre-slaughter weight. The characteristics of fattening animals included in the research are: warm carcass side growth (WCSG); bacon thickness - rump (FTR); bacon thickness - back (FTB); bacon thickness - rump + back (FTRB); meat yield - carcass sides (JUSKG) and meat yield in percentage (JUSPRO), as well as weight and ratio of French dressing in warm carcass sides (FDKG and FDPRO). Animals of both sexes were used in the trial (female non-castrated rats and surgically castrated males). Total of 1166 fattening animals were included in the trials. Statistical data processing was performed using the Harvey software package. All included factors in the used models show a highly statistically significant effect on the variation of fattening traits (P<0.01; P<0.001). Animals of genotype DxSL (44.97%) had the highest share of meat in carcass sides, and animals of genotype SL (44.63%) for the trait JUSPRO, while for the trait FDPRO the highest value was recorded for the genotype DXSL (54.45%). In our study, animals of the genotypes (HxD)x(WxD) and Dx(WxD) had the highest values for bacon thickness - 39.95 and 38.32 mm, respectively, which implies lower share of meat in the carcasses. By calculating the genetic and phenotypic correlations, we came to the conclusion that the phenotypic correlation of the carcass side traits was of different strength (from very weak to complete) and different sign, while the genetic correlations were stronger than the phenotypic, so the genetic correlations between the bacon thicknesses FTB and FTR were complete, and between meat yield and traits FTB and FTR complete and negative.

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 Sumadija and Western Serbia and South and Eastern Serbia region). Through the survey questionnaire, consumers have stated how important the welfare of laying hens is to them and if they are willing to spend more money on eggs produced acording to principles of animal welfare. The answers of the surveyed consumers were analyzed by gender, age, education, number of children in the family and the environment in which they live. According to the results of the survey, it can be concluded that in Serbia, poultry welfare is moderately important to 28.17% of egg consumers and very important to 50.77% of consumers, while not at all or little to 21.13%, and that there are differences between individual regions. The willingness to pay more for eggs produced according to welfare principles was expressed by 78.53% of consumers, on average for all three regions. The analysis of data within the category of consumers for which the poultry welfare is very important, revealed that 54.15% are women and 44.02% are men, and that the welfare is more important for consumers with higher education (52.66%) compared to middle school (47.67%), also, for consumers in the 35-55 age group (55.60%) compared to younger and older respondents and those with three or more children in the family (52.94%) compared to families with fewer children. The survey results indicate that consumers in Serbia attribute more importance to the welfare of laying hens, and show their willingness to pay more for eggs produced in compliance with the welfare principles. In the coming period, the education focusing on the increase of consumer awareness of the importance of the welfare of laying hens and the connection with the quality of the product will be necessary.

The European Green Plan and its implementation strategies defined very demanding and ambitious goals for establishing the first "climate neutral continent" in the world. The implementation of the "Farm to Fork Strategy" (F2F) strategy will have an extremely immense effect on quantitative changes in the area of animal production (reduction in the number of animals and volume of production), increase in prices of beef and products of animal origin, the decrease in citizens' standards and increase in inflation. The appearance of the so-called "leakage effects" can be expected in NON-EU regions with the lowest population density (LU/ha), such as Serbia and the countries of the Western Balkans. At the same time, this effect represents a development opportunity for organizing extensive to semi-intensive production of organic beef based on the Cow-calf system - grass-fed beef production. In addition to the production of organic meat, these systems will contribute to improving biodiversity, maintaining the microbiological and pedological structure of the soil, regulating the carbon cycle, preventing erosion and forest fires, stopping population migration from villages to cities, reducing the use of artificial fertilizers and biocides, etc.

The main objective of the study was to determine the influence of breed on the traits of boar ejaculate: ejaculate volume (VOL, ml), sperm concentration (CON, x106 sperm/ml), total sperm count in ejaculate (TNS, x109 spermatozoa), sperm motility in native ejaculate (MON, %), sperm motility after dilution (MOD, %) and number of doses produced (NPD). The aim was also to evaluate the correlation of the boar performance test traits: average life daily gain (g), backfat thickness measured in two locations (mm), depth of longissimus dorsi muscle (mm) and carcass meat content (%) with ejaculate traits. Total of 931 ejaculates of 36 boars during reproductive exploitation were analysed (16 Landrace boars and 20 Large White boars). The effect was assessed using the procedure of the general linear model of the statistical package SAS 9.1.3 (SAS Inst. Inc., 2002- 2003). The model for analysis included the influence of breed, season and the linear regression influence of body weight at the end of the performance test. The correlation of the traits was determined by applying the Pearson?s correlation coefficient. Most of the examined ejaculate traits (VOL, CON, MOD and NPD) varied under the influence of boar breed (p<0.01; p<0.001). Weight at the end of the test (p<0.05; p<0.01; p<0.001) affected all examined traits, except CON and TNS. A weak association was found between production performance and ejaculate traits.
