Basic activities of the Department are teaching, scientific research and technical work in the field of animal production. However, teaching on the undergraduate, graduate, specialist and postgraduate studies is a significant part of the activities of the Department’s staff, as well as rich scientific and technical activities in the field of domestic animal breeding, protection and conservation of autochthonous animal breeds, production technology of meat, milk, wool, mushrooms, and production of semi-durable and durable meat products. Extensive and rich technical activity (consulting, seminars, lectures and other) is aimed towards improvement of overall animal production, standardization, recognition and protection of autochthonous products (Istrian cured ham, Istrian cattle meat, lamb meat of the Pag Sheep and Dalmatian pramenka breeds etc.) That’s why Laboratory for genetic identification of domestic animals is very important.
