STOCK-BREEDING (IN YUGOSLAVIA)

Summary/Abstract: The level of economic development attained by the mid-Sixties, the need to improve the national diet, and possibilities for marketing agricultural products abroad made it imperative to improve the quantity and quality of agricultural production. Measures were first taken to intensify field crop farming, as the raw material basis for intensive stock-breeding, and subsequently also to increase livestock production. Considerable social resources were invested in livestock. Facilities for the accommodation of breeding and fattening stock, dairies, forage silos, feed mixing plants, factories for high-quality animal feeding stuffs, slaughter-houses, canneries, etc. were constructed; the present chain of cooling plants was developed, livestock and veterinary scientific and other institutions were founded, veterinary and animal drug plants built, etc. In addition, high-quality breeding stock (cattle, sheep, swine and poultry) and proteinic ingredients for animal feed (oil- -cake, fish meal, etc.), were procured to intensify livestock production.
