The actual production and Economic problems of animal husbandry in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

Abstract

During the period from 1965 to 1992 the number of cattle, pigs and poultry as well as the production of meat, milk and eggs, showed a curvilinear concave trend. Whereas in the last years of this period those parameters had a decreasing line. Due to this fact the ratio between the number of inhabitants and of the above mentioned animals became worse, and there was a decrease in the production of animal products per capita of the population. The animal production in the FRY is characterized with an unfavorable ratio between the live animal number and the corresponding animal products, as well as an insufficient production per head of animals. The causes of the unfavorable trend in the animal production are the following: the worsened old citizen structure, with the majority over 60 years and unfavorable economic conditions for agricultural, particularly animal production.

Poslednjih nekoliko godina, u periodu od 1965. Do 1992. Godine, na teritoriji SRJ dolazi do smanjenja broja stoke i proizvodnje osnovnih stočarskih proizvoda. S postojećim brojem stoke ostvaruje se nedovoljan obim proizvodnje usled niske proizvodnje po grlu. Nezadovoljavajući obim proizvodnje mesa je posledica uobičajenog klanja podmlatka stoke i niska prosečna masa grla koja se upućuju na klanje. Uzrok nepovoljnim kretanjima u stočarskoj proizvodnji poslednjih godina je pogoršana starosna struktura poljoprivrednog stanovništva u smislu veće zastupljenosti starosne grupe oko 60 godina, koja nije sposobna da se angažuje na poslovima držanja stoke. Razlog tome su i cene stoke i stočnih proizvoda, koje obezbeđuju proizvođačima najčešće manji dohodak po jedinici uloženog rada i uloženih osnovnih i obrtnih sredstava.
