Qualitative properties of equidae grown in Central Serbia

Abstract

The paper presents and analyzes the results of the measures selection of equidae (horse and donkey) in Central Serbia, conducted in the three-year period (2007th - 2009th years). In that period, based on exterior (phenotype), and production - reproductive indicators, carried out the evaluation and grading a number of heads equidae. Based on research conducted, it can be seen more general situation of the growing equidae in central Serbia, or changes the numerical situation for years, racial composition, and especially the quality of available animals, i.e. age of animals that are used primarily in reproduction and sports, and much less labor in the production of meat and milk of special quality. Results of research carried out indicate that it is necessary devote more attention to quality and racial composition of the throat or throat selection depending on their use, then the direction of breeding, sport animals ready for competition, diet and way of preparation (training) of sport horses, and therefore and the introduction of stricter application of appropriate methods selection the growing equidae.

U radu su prikazani i analizirani rezultati selekcijskih mera kod kopitara (konja i magaraca) u Centralnoj Srbiji, sprovedenih u trogodišnjem periodu (2007 - 2009. godina). U navedenom periodu, na osnovu eksterijernih (fenotipskih) i proizvodno-reproduktivnih pokazatelja, izvršeno je ocenjivanje i klasiranje određenog broja grla kopitara. Na osnovu sprovedenih istraživanja, može se detaljnije sagledati opšte stanje pri gajenju kopitara u Centralnoj Srbiji, odnosno promena brojnog stanja po godinama, rasni sastav, a pre svega kvalitet raspoloživog broja grla, tj. starost grla koja se koriste prvenstveno u reprodukciji i sportu, a znatno manje kao radna snaga i u proizvodnji mesa i mleka posebnog kvaliteta. Rezultati sprovedenih istraživanja ukazuju na to da je potrebno posvetiti veću pažnju kvalitetu i rasnom sastavu grla, odnosno odabiru grla u zavisnosti od njihove upotrebe, zatim pravcu odgajivanja, spremnosti sportskih grla za takmičenje, ishrani i načinu pripreme (treniranja) sportskih konja, a samim tim uvođenje i strožiju primenu odgovarajućih selekcijskih metoda pri gajenju kopitara.
