Course content
|
The course begins with a contemporary conception of the importance and perspectives of livestock production in our country and also from a global perspective in other parts of the world. The evolutionary process included in the field of phylogenetic studies of individual livestock species is followed by the main part of the discipline - description, explanation and justification of the interrelations between the morphological and physiological properties of individuals, presented in livestock by a set of productional and reproductional characteristics. The basic principles of breeding procedures and breeding methods are the theoretical basis of practical livestock breeding. The relationship of the organism with the environment and other individuals - health, technology, welfare, biosecurity, ethology, digestive physiology, etc. also plays an important role. The completion of this course eliminates disproportions between different forms of previous university studies and creates a basis for the study of specialized disciplines of the given doctoral study field.Principles of animal husbandry, including legislation. Philosophy and ethics of animal husbandry in the conditions of conventional and organic farming. Biological and ethological requirements of animals for housing systems. Suitability of breeds for conventional and organic farming. Specifics of nutrition of individual species of livestock in terms of natural needs. Performance, longevity and animal health. Breeding and reproduction. Biosecurity. Breeding technology. Natural methods of breeding cattle, sheep, goats, horses, pigs and poultry in terms of their welfare. Economics of animal husbandry.
