| Title : | THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY IN THE VOJVODINA REGION |
| Abstract : | This paper analyzes quantitative changes in production capacities and the in-kind results of animal husbandry in the Vojvodina region for the period extending from 2001 to 2010. Based on the analysis, forecasts and comparisons of livestock production parameters with those of the previous decade extending from 1991 to 2000, an assessment of the state and projections on the development of individual lines and branches of animal husbandry have been provided. Positive changes are present in the primary herds of sheep and poultry, while pigs’ capacity is reduced and cattle are virtually stagnant. The average annual milk production and breeding of fattening pigs has grown, while the production of fattening cattle and eggs has decreased. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, compared to the last decade of the twentieth century, changes in animal husbandry’s production capacity and performance in Vojvodina have, in general, not been favourable. Despite this negative trend, with a stimulating and consistent agricultural policy, Vojvodina could offer all of the conditions required for the rapid development of animal husbandry. |
