The study examined how different solid feeds affected the biochemical parameters in calf plasma. The experiment involved a control group and three test groups of calves, each fed with a different starter mixture. The results showed significant differences in some biochemical parameters between the feeding groups. Calves in groups P1 and P3 had a statistically higher glucose concentration in blood plasma compared to group C. Calves from group P3 had a higher concentration of urea in blood plasma than calves from group C. Calves in groups P1 and P3 also had higher concentrations of total protein and globulin in blood plasma compared to group C. The concentration of inorganic phosphate in the blood plasma of calves from group P3 was significantly higher than that of group C. Female calves in the experimental groups showed a lower concentration of NEFA at three months of age compared to the control group. It was concluded that feeding calves with a starter mixture containing whey and easily digestible protein had a positive effect on the nutritional status and energy balance of the calves.

The aim of the investigation was to determine influence of dietary supplementation with selenium on blood metabolic profile and thyroid hormones activities in fattening lambs. The study included 36 Merinolandschaf lambs during fattening period (50 days) divided into three groups (control, Exp-I and Exp-II). The control group diet was not supplemented with Se, whereas the diet of Exp-I was supplemented with 0.3 mg/kg inorganic selenium (sodium selenite) and Exp-II with 0.3 mg/kg organic selenium (Sel-Plex). Concentration of minerals (Ca, P-inorganic, K, Na, Fe and Cl), biochemical indicators (urea, glucose, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, total protein, albumin), enzyme activity (ALT, AST, GGT, LDH and GSH-Px) and thyroid hormone activities (T3, T4) were determined. Significantly higher (P<0.01) selenium content and GSH-Px activity as well as the lower content of Ca was determined in the blood of Exp-II and Exp-I groups compared to control group (93.89 and 67.69: 34.11 µg L-1; 607.98 and 556.92: 247.52 µkat L-1; 2.38 and 2.39: 2.76 mmol L-1). Significantly higher (P<0.01) selenium content in the in blood of lambs from Exp-II compared to Exp-I group was determined. Significantly higher (P<0.05) concentrations of HDL-cholesterol and T3 hormone activity were found in Exp-II group compared to the Exp-I and control groups. The results showed lower blood selenium content in control group and indicate the justification of adding selenium, especially organic selenium in lamb's diets, raising the concentration of Se, GSH-Px enzyme, HDL-cholesterol and T3 hormones improving the health status, especially in areas deficient in selenium.

Various science researches have shown that meat of ruminants has more desirable fatty acid composition and a ratio between ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids (lower than 4.0) because of lower content of linoleic, and a higher content of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linolenic fatty acid. The aim of the present study is to examine researches about feeding modulation of the fatty acid composition in lamb meat. The fatty acid composition in tissues of suckling lambs can be modified by fatty acid composition of ewes' milk. Numerous investigations have shown that lambs on pastures have increased content of ω-3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic fatty acids in m. longissimus thoracis and m. semimembranosus. Addition of 10% fax oil in lambs' diet significantly increased the content of linoleic acid in m. longissimus lumborum (4.5 times), while fish oil stimulated deposition of intramuscular fat in shoulder, leg and abdomen. The fatty acid content of intramuscular and subcutaneous tissues of suckling lambs is influenced by fatty acid composition of ewes' milk, and depends on rearing and feeding systems of ewes. One of the advantages in feeding of ruminants is the addition of rich linoleic source and source of linolenic acid in combination with fish oil in diets of lambs that increases the content of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in different tissues. It is clear from the above mentioned data that fatty acid composition of lamb meat may be modeled with the aim to decrease the content of saturated fatty acids and increase the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in fat and muscle tissues of lambs.

The research included per 10 hams of Black Slavonian pigs from semi - outdoor and outdoor system. Pigs in both groups were fattened up to 130 kg of body weight. Production systems of keeping pigs (semi - outdoor and outdoor) had a significant effect on some of the analyzed characteristics of Slavonian hams of Black Slavonian pigs. In comparison to hams of pigs from the semi - outdoor system, hams of pigs from the outdoor system had a significantly higher "L" value (39.50 : 35.30) and "a" value (20.00 : 17.50) for color, a higher content of crude fat (12.00 : 10.00), a higher grade for cross- section appearance (6.50 : 5.00), odor (9.00 : 8.50) and taste (14.50 : 14.00). Significant differences between hams of pigs from the outdoor and the semi - outdoor system were not determined considering pH value (5.70 : 5.65), "b" value for color (6.50 : 6.45), aw (0.86 : 0.85), NaCl content (6.00% : 5.95%), water (52.30% : 54.00%), crude protein (27.70% : 27.50%) and ash (8.00% : 8.50%), then a grade for appearance (6.65 : 6.50) and firmness (8.00 : 8.50). The effect of production systems on quality of hams is a result of interaction of keeping conditions, food content and pig genotype to quality of hams, i.e., raw material for the production of hams.

The research was conducted on pig carcasses and meat from two groups (A and B) of Black Slavonian pigs (Croatian autochthonous, endangered breed), fed with higher (group A) and lower (group B) level of crude proteins in forage mixtures, during two fattening cycles (14%/12% and 12%/10%). In each group there were 16 pigs (8 gilts and 8 castrated male pigs). Increase in the crude protein level in forage mixtures had a very significant impact (p<0.01) on reduction of fat tissue share (34.55%: 39.09%) and on increase in muscle tissue share (47.10%: 46.11%) in pig carcasses, although not to a statistically significant (p>0.05) extent. Pig carcasses from group A, compared to those in group B, had a significantly (p<0.01) higher share meat of ham (15.62%: 14.62%). Meat (MLD) of pigs from both of the groups was of very good quality, considering the analyzed indicators (pH1, pH2, water holding capacity, colour). Pig meat from group A, compared to meat from pigs in group B, had a statistically significant (p<0.05), higher level of crude proteins (21.47%: 20.93%), a very significantly (p<0.01) higher water content (70.62%: 65.70%), and lower level of crude fat (6.89%: 12.34%), while no significant differences (p>0.05) were determined between the analyzed groups of pigs in terms of ash content (1.02%: 1.02%).
