The need to ensure biodiversity conservation is seen as a measure to adapt to climate change and at the same time to protect vulnerable species by preserving and restoring ecosystems. For this purpose, in this article, was study the vulnerability of three species of mammals of hunting interest (deer, rabbit and wild boar) and their adaptation to the effects of climate change in two hunting funds in Teleorman County (hunting fund 1 Flămânda and hunting fund 62 Islaz) respectively Prahova county (hunting fund 43 Lapoș and hunting fund 11 Gherghița).

One of the main livestock productions is represented by the dairy sector. The progress made over time being significant, but constrained by a limiting factor, the interval between generations (5 years). An excellent tool that helps make progress by reducing the time period until performance is manifested is genomic testing. This provided the necessary means to constantly improve genetics in production, fitness and conformation of dairy cows. Through its implementation, important changes are occurring in this branch of animal husbandry. This paper aims to review the most important aspects regarding the genomic testing by analyzing a significant number of works on this topic Based on genomic testing, the farmer can take effective decisions about herd improvement, to verify parentage or to identify bacterial strains associated with particular disease outbreaks.

Climate changes represent a major threat to society, due to its wide impact on ecosystems, economy, human and animal health. The aim of this review was to evaluate the influence of dairy cattle health and their implications on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity. The main influencing factors concerning the GHG intensity of dairy cattle that are discussed in this review article are nutrition, animal productivity, longevity and fertility, in relationship with animal health. Data showed that high levels of animal health not only led to increased productivity performances, however, it translates into a significant decrease of GHG emissions. Moreover, metabolic disorders during the transition period of lactating cows represent a critical risk for cows mortality, productivity and economical losses, and higher GHG emissions/kilogram/milk. Overall, the reductions in GHG emissions intensity could be achieved through the implementation of proper animal health management programs at individual farm level.

Sensory characteristics evaluation (appearance, colour, smell, taste, texture) represents the most important criterion in the purchase decision of meat products. The aim of the study was to produce and sensory evaluate seven batches of pork meat sausages (control, sausages+chokeberry powder in concentration of 1.2%, 2.5%, 5% and sausages+blueberry in concentration of 1.2%, 2.5%, 5%). The plant-based powders were added to improve shelf-life of the products and the sensorial assessment was used to choose the best concentration in terms of consumers´ acceptance. The evaluation involved completing an acceptability questionnaire using a 9-point hedonic scale, an acceptability test with scores on the general attributes of appearance, texture, aroma, taste, overall quality. The most favourable responses were recorded for the sausages with 2.5% chokeberry, followed by the sausages with 1.2% chokeberry. As an important feature, it is the colour change, appreciated by consumers. The most unfavourable responses were received following the evaluation of the sausage samples with 5% blueberry extract which gave a sweet taste uncharacteristic of meat products.

Soil mites have been used as bioindicators at local, regional or even at national scales. The present study demonstrated that soil microhabitats are characterised by different structural patterns of soil mite populations. This study was conducted in August 2021, in two types of grassland ecosystems (intensely grazed and moderately grazed with sheep) in the Făgăraş Mountains- Romania. At the local spatial scale, 10 transects were established in each grassland. In total 200 soil samples were analysed, revealing the presence of 33 soil mite species, with 93 individuals. Dominant species were Gaeolaelaps nolli and Gaeolaelaps aculeifer. The population characteristics were analysed for each transect and each grassland, using the following indices: taxa diversity, numerical abundance, dominance, evenness, equitability, Shannon-Wiener index of diversity, Bray-Curtis index of Similarity. Making a comparison, in the moderately grazed grassland the species diversity and the numerical density were higher than those from intensely grazed ecosystem.

Scrapie, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, is known to be influenced by certain PRNP genotypes, and some research has shown that these genotypes can impact the productive performance of affected sheep populations. The study was conducted on Karakul sheep populations. The main aim of this work was the analysis between PRNP genotypes and productive characters (body weight, coat color etc.). Based on the breeding values, the retention of the most valuable individuals for reproduction is to be carried out according to the desired proportion of retentions. From the data analysed,none unfavorable association was observed between the PRNP allele, type, or reproductive traits. It is important to assess the wider context in which numerous variables interact to influence the productive performance of sheep populations. More studies are needed to better understand the complexities of this connection.

The article presents the results of studying the impact of live weight on the milk productivity of Holstein cows of various origins after the first completed lactation in three breeding herds. To assess the influence of live weight on the productive traits of cows, the analyzed population in all herds was divided into three groups. Cows with a live weight up to 600 kg (Group I) and from 601-630 kg (Group II) in the herd of SLL "Gomerţ Efrem" positively correlated with milk yield and the amount of milk fat. In SLL "Dastocom", a positive moderate correlation (live weight – 305-day yield) was identified at cows of the first lactation of German selection up to 600 kg (Group I) (r = 0.448), and with an increase in live weight, the correlation coefficient acquired a negative value. In the breeding herd of SLL "Total Gnatiuc", an advantage was found in favor of locally generated cows by 537 and 302 kg for French and Dutch breeds, respectively, with no significant differences observed.

This study investigates the management practices and technological processes within beef cattle farms in the North-East region of Moldova, focusing on six distinct farms. Analyzing data from these farms, encompassing a total of 1838 cattle, revealed notable disparities in animal stock, labor force, and forage cultivation areas. Additionally, diverse housing systems, waste disposal methods, and breeding practices were identified. Noteworthy results include Farm F5's effective waste management strategies and Farm F6's adoption of advanced breeding techniques. These findings underscore the necessity of tailoring management approaches to individual farm contexts to optimize operational efficiency and productivity. By providing actionable insights, this research contributes to ongoing efforts aimed at improving beef cattle farming practices in the region and fostering sustainable agricultural development.

The growing interest in goat milk in our country has required the expansion of research in this species, covering various areas such as nutrition, reproduction, exploitation conditions, milk and meat processing methods, and others. The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution of goats included in selection works in relation to the total number of goats at national level reported by the National Institute of Statistics, with the following aspects being evidenced: the proportion of goats included in selection works, the distribution by breeds of the number of goats in the genealogical register and their average milk/lactation/breed/region production. The study is of a statistical nature and focuses exclusively on the herds in the Genealogical Register on 31.08.2023, and the results show that the South East Region stands out with an impressive herd of goats, representing 36.16% compared to the Centre Region where, in the selection work, only 2.88% goats are included. The conclusions presented provide a detailed numerical perspective and the potential of each region within the national goat milk scene. These consolidating insights are essential pillars for guiding future strategies and developments in this area.
