Livestock production is important branch of agriculture in Republic of Serbia. Over 700.000 households are engaged in this production, which is over 55% of total number of households. Livestock production provides necessary products (milk, meat, eggs) for nutrition of domestic population. Also, livestock production provides raw materials for food industry (dairy plants, slaughterhouses, meat industry, conditory industry and leather industry). Livestock production is expected to provide high quality products for export, primarily beef and lamb meat. Chance/opportunity for export exists also for cheeses of high quality (especially sheep and goat cheeses) of defined origin and quality. Based on available data, current situation in livestock production is assessed as inviolable. Number of heads of all species of domestic animals and poultry has been constantly decreasing over the period of last 12 years. The greatest decrease of number of heads of livestock was recorded in years 2000, 2001 and 2002, in all species of domestic animals. During this period, number of cattle decreased by 18,6%, of pigs by 11,8%, sheep by 12,3%, number of goats by 54,1%, horses by 66,0% and poultry by 28,0%. So, by the end of 2007, number of cattle was 1.087.000, pigs 3.832.000, sheep 1.606.000, goats 149.000, horses 18.000 and poultry 16.422.000. Republic of Serbia will in its near future become member of European Union (EU) and World Trade Organization (WTO), which means that livestock production should prepare for competition on unique developed market, without any state trade barriers. Serbia has been preparing for this since 2006 when it signed bilateral agreement on free trade with neighbouring countries - Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) and in this way became part of the market and accepted the competition rules on the free market. Accession to EU and WTO includes liberalization of trade in livestock products, low possibility for import protection, implementation of quality standards (HACCP; ISO, Global GAP), reduction of the level of domestic support, discontinuing of export subsidies, increase of profitability and ability to be competitive on the international market. ; Stočarska proizvodnja je značajna grana poljoprivrede u Republici Srbiji. Zastupljeno je u preko 700.000 domaćinstava (55% od ukupnog broja domaćinstava) i predstavlja značajnu privrednu granu koja učestvuje u formiranju društvenog proizvoda poljoprivrede sa 42%. Stočarskom proizvodnjom se obezbeđuju neophodni proizvodi (mleko, meso, jaja) za ishranu domaćeg stanovništva. Pored toga stočarstvo obezbeđuje sirovine za prehrambenu industriju (mlekare, klanice, konditorske industrije i industrija prerade kože). Od stočarske proizvodnje se očekuje da obezbedi kvalitetne proizvode za izvoz, pre svega juneće i jagnjeće meso. Šansu za izvoz imaju i kvalitetni sirevi (posebno ovčiji i koziji) sa definisanim poreklom i kvalitetom. Na osnovu raspoloživih podataka stanje stočarstva u Srbiji se ocenjuje kao nepovoljno. Broj grla kod svih vrsta domaćih životinja i živine u poslednjih dvanaest godina konstantno opada. Najveće smanjenje broja grla registrovano je u toku 2000., 2001., i 2002. godine kod svih vrsta domaćih životinja. U ovom periodu broj goveda je smanjen za 18,6%, broj svinja za 11,8%, broj ovaca za 12,3%, broj koza za 54,1% broj konja za 66,0% i broj živine za 28,0%. Tako da je na kraju 2007. godine broj grla goveda 1.087.000 , 3.832.000 grla svinja, 1.606.000 grla ovaca, koza 149.000, 18.000 grla konja i 16.422.000 živine. Republika Srbija u bližoj budućnosti postaće član Evropske unije (EU) i Svetske trgovinske organizacije (STO) što znači da se stočarska proizvodnja mora pripremiti za konkurenciju na jedinstvenom razvijenom tržištu, na kome neće postojati državne trgovinske barijere. Srbija na tom putu se priprema već od 2006. godine potpisivanjem bilateralnog sporazuma o slobodnoj trgovini sa susednim zemljama (Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) i samim tim postala deo tržišta i prihvatila pravila konkurencije na slobodnom tržištu. Pristupanje u EU i STO podrazumeva veću liberalizaciju trgovine stočarskim proizvodima, mala mogućnost zaštite od uvoza, implementacija standarda kvaliteta (HACCP; ISO, Global GAP), smanjenje nivoa domaće podrške, ukidanje izvoznih subvencija, povećanje profitabilnosti i sposobnost da se izdrži konkurencija na međunarodnom tržištu.

Agriculture of the Republic of Serbia is going through significant reforms in legislation and agricultural policy, during this EU preaccession period, in order to comply to one of the most important EU policies - Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The potential and tradition of Serbia in production of beef, on one hand and EU market needs on the other, impose the need for timely preparations from the legislative and technological aspect and human resources. Present study gives the review of major legislative regulations and main parameters of SEUROP beef classification system in sense of definition, presentation and categorization of carcass, as well as criteria in conformation evaluation and fat cover of the carcass.

Beef production is widespread all over the world but the legislation regarding welfare area of beef cattle is not specifically addressed and fully implemented. Beef cattle welfare assurance affects not only animals but is also a question of ethics and products quality. Today, it is possible to determine welfare quality state in feedlots through relevant methodology such is Welfare Quality®Assessment Protocol applied to fattening cattle. It enables implementation of improvement strategy regarding identified risks and causes of poor welfare. Different literature sources, based on welfare risk assessment, indicate major welfare problems in cattle kept for beef production. According to them, respiratory diseases are usually linked to overstocking, inadequate ventilation, mixing of animals and failure of early diagnosis and treatment. In addition, digestive disorders are associated with intensive concentrate feeding, lack of physically effective fiber in the diet whilst behavioral disorders comes as a consequence of inadequate floor space, and commingling in the feedlot. Particular welfare problems are related to the implementation of animal husbandry methods mutilation, which expose animals to pain and suffering. This paper gives a review of most important beef cattle welfare topics including recommendations for its assurance and improvement.

Obezbeđenje dobrobiti tovnih goveda od značaja je samim životinjama, a istovremeno je i pitanje etike i kvaliteta proizvoda. Danas je moguće utvrditi stanje kvaliteta dobrobiti u tovilištima putem pouzdane metodologije kao što je Protokol za ocenu kvaliteta dobrobiti tovne junadi. On omogućava primenu strategija unapređenja dobrobiti na farmama u odnosu na utvrđene rizike i uzroke loše dobrobiti. Različiti literaturni izvori, zasnovani na metodi ocene rizika, ukazuju na ključne probleme dobrobiti tovne junadi. Respiratorne bolesti obično su u vezi sa prenaseljenim objektima, neodgovarajućom ventilacijom, mešanjem životinja i neblagovremenom dijagnostikom i lečenjem obolelih životinja. Oboljenja digestivnog sistema nastaju kao posledica intenzivne ishrane koncentrovanim hranivima, u nedostatku vlaknastih hraniva. Neodgovarajuci podovi u objektima, mešanje životinja iz različitih grupa/uzrasta i loš postupak odgajivača dovode do poremećaja ponašanja i socijalnog stresa. Posebni problemi dobrobiti odnose se na primenu zootehničkih metoda-mutilacija, kojima se životinje izlažu bolu i patnji.

In the future value of cattle and products will be in direct relation to quality presented to consumers. Consumer demands differ depending on the culture, location and social conditions. However, since World is becoming "globally speaking" smaller consumer attitudes in regard to the definition of high quality meat is becoming uniform. In order to maintain and preserve the health of consumers huge amounts of money are spent on finding out new methods for detection and prevention of animal diseases and improvement of crop production. So, in the period 2002-2006 budget of 685 million EUR has been approved for research of the food quality and consumer safety. Average consumption of beef in EU is approx. 15 kg and is now recovering from drastic decrease because of BSE in the period 1996-2001. Total number of livestock is approx. 91-92 million heads, and production of beef is approx. 8,2 million tons. Directives in legislation relating to production of safe food date from 1960 were intensified in 1990 especially because of BSE incidence in 1994. It is considered that food will be safe if animals are healthy. Healthy doesn't relate only to their health condition but also to the natural methods of breeding of livestock. By maintaining good veterinary practice we aim to improve the general health condition of animals. Potential incidences of diseases are monitored carefully and isolated and spreading of such diseases prevented as much as possible. Projections in cattle production are made mainly as plans for twenty year period. There is a great pressure on producers relating to use of natural resources. Until 2002, it was anticipated that demand for livestock products would have been increased mainly because of increase in population. Problem occurs because increase of number of animals in rural regions and suburban city areas involves higher risk of spreading of disease. Also, there is the issue of adequate waste storage. ; U budućnosti vrednost goveda i proizvoda biće u direktnoj vezi sa kvalitetom koji se prezentuje potrošačima. Zahtevi potrošača se svakako razlikuju u zavisnosti od kulture, mesta življenja, socijalnih prilika itd. Međutim, kako svet globalno postaje sve "manji" sve više se dolazi do ujednačavanja stavova u pogledu definicije šta je to kvalitetno meso. U cilju očuvanja zdravlja potrošača troše se ogromna sredstva kako bi se pronašle nove metode detektovanja ili preventiranja pojava bolesti životinja kao i unapređenja proizvodnje u ratarstvu. Tako je u periodu 2002-2006 godina odobren budžet od 685 miliona EUR samo za istraživanja kvaliteta hrane i sigurnosti potrošača. Prosečna potrošnja junećeg mesa u EU je oko 15 kg i oporavlja se nakon drastičnog pada zbog BSE u periodu 1996-20001. Ukupan broj grla stoke kreće se oko 91- 92 miliona, a proizvodnja junećeg mesa je oko 8,2 miliona tona. Direktive u zakonodavstvu za proizvodnju zdravstveno ispravne hrane datiraju iz 1960. godine, intenzivirane su 1990. godine, a naročito zbog pojave BSE-a od 1994. godine. U poslednje vreme potrošači zahtevaju zdravstveno ispravnu, ukusnu i hranu sa višom hranljivom vrednosti koja je proizvedena na način koji ne narušava prirodnu sredinu. Osnovni princip je da se dostigne potreban kvalitet. Smatra se da će hrana biti zdrava ako su i životinje zdrave. To zdrave ne odnosi se samo na zdravstveno stanje već i na prirodan način držanja životinja. Preko dobre veterinarske prakse želi se uticati na poboljšanje zdravlja životinja. Eventualna pojava bolesti pažljivo se prati i teži se na njenom izolovanju i sprečavanju širenja. Projekcije u oblasti govedarstva prave se uglavnom kao planovi za dvadesetogodišnji period. Veliki pritisak pravi se na iskorišćavanje prirodnih resursa. Do 2020 god. predviđanja idu u pravcu povećanja potražnje za stočarskim proizvodima prvenstveno zbog povećanja broja stanovnika. Problem se javlja zbog toga što povećanje broja životinja u ruralnim sredinama i obodima gradova znači i veće mogućnosti za širenje zoonoza. Sve veći problem predstavlja i adekvatno skladištenje otpada.
