Aspects on the constructive and internal organization solutions for the transformation of a pig growing house in beef cattle growing house
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2019) Leonte, C.; Leonte, Doina
The present work highlights some aspects regarding the possibilities of transforming some shelters from pig farms, built before 1990, into spaces for the exploitation of beef cattle. Cattle capitalize on agricultural by-products and waste (straws, cheeses, chickens, chickpeas, beets and beet noodles, pork in the processing industry, bran, mackerel) which they transform into essential foods for human food. Cattle provide the raw material needed for the milk and meat industry. Meat and delivered products are important sources of energy, proteins, minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, necessary for the proper functioning of human physiological mechanisms and for maintaining health. The hall for raising pigs has a structure of reinforced concrete, the foundations are glass type, with pillars embedded in these foundations, supporting at the top end beams of the roof. In the first compartmentalization version (V1), 16 cows / storage can be accommodated ensuring a total area of 162 m² and 10.12 m² / cow. In total, the 9 compartments can accommodate 144 cows. For the calves there are 25 compartments with a total area of 337.5 m² and 2.25 m² / calf. There are also two compartments for calving on the ends of the shelter with 13.5 m² / compartment. This variant provides an external feed lane for cows with a width of 3.5 m and an inner feed lane for calves with a width of 3 m. In the second compartmentalization version, 108 cows can be accommodated, ensuring a total area of 1150.2 m² and 10.65 m² / cow. The calves can be accommodated in the 18 storage boxes resulting from the compartmentation with a total area of 575.1 m², resulting in 5.32 m² / calf. The forage in this variant can be made from a central alley with a width of 3.8 m.

Researches concerning the comparison of milk yield between cattle of Bruna of Maramures and Braunvieh breeds imported from Austria
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2019) Gîlcă, Ioan; Gîlcă, Valerica; Radu-Rusu, Răzvan-Mihail; Gîngă, C.; Avram, P.; Mihalache, Roxana; Zus, T.; Ignat, Elena
The main aim of this study was to compare the milk performance realized by cattle of Braunvieh breed imported from Austria and the indigenous breed Bruna of Maramures. The analysis was performed into a farm at the first and second lactations. The imported dairy cattle (Braunvieh breed) were compared with contemporaries indigenous breed (Bruna of Maramures) calved in the same period. Both breeds were kept in the same conditions and with the same feeding. The first lactation records were analyzed according to the following linear model: Yij =µ + Hi + Cj + eij. The second lactation records were analyzed according to the following linear model: Yijk =µ + Hi + Cj + Jk + eijk. The difference in milk production between Braunvieh and Bruna of Maramures breeds, at first and second lactations, were not statistically significant. The Braunvieh breed cattle achieved higher fat, protein and lactose percentage at the first lactation (4.25% and 3.94%, 3.42% and 3.20%, respectively 4.67% and 4.49%) and at the second lactation (4.29% and 4.02%, 3.42% and 3.21%, respectively 4.59% and 4.43%). These differences were statistically highly significant (P<0.01).

Determining current stage of color uniformity improvement for skins obtained from Karakul of Botoşani breed
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2019) Nechifor, I.; Pascal, Constantin; Florea, Al.M.; Albață, A.; Crâsmaru, A.; Brânzei, M.; Onciu, Oana
The purpose of the researches was to carry out a complex study in order to evaluate the current stage of improvement for the type of color and uniformity in the main color varieties formed within the Karakul of Botoșani breed. The biological material subjected to the assessments was represented by the pure-bred Karakul de Botoșani lambs belonging to all the varieties of color obtained over the course of three successive generations, originating from breeding seasons that took place in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The method applied in the assessment of the objectives was based on the technical norms specified in Section 1.4 and 1.5 of the MADR Order no. 22 / 20.01.2006, published in the Official Gazette of Romania no. 146 of 15.02.2006 and specifying the aspects based on which the official production control of pelts is carried out. The data obtained as a result of the genetic progress evaluation obtained on each generation show that the proportion of lambs in which the desired type of color was found, that is to say, a black one, uniform and with nuances of blue, is increasing, thus confirming that among the generations of lambs appreciated in the three seasons the applied improvement process is efficient. However, if we compare these values with those obtained in season 2005, we find that in the 2013 generation, the proportion of lambs presenting a color close to the desired type was less than 1.17%. However, by judiciously matching the breeders, in 2014 and 2015, it shoes an increase of 0.27% and 0.55% of the lambs, which expressed a very good degree of the intensity of the color and the desired nuances.

Research regarding the influence of technological factors on the body development of the Karakul de Botosani lambs
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2019) Florea, Al.M.; Pascal, Constantin; Nechifor, I.; Albață, A.; Crâsmaru, A.; Brânzei, M.; Onciu, Oana
In order to determine the effect of conducting the process of body growth and development on the Karakul of Botoșani breed lambs, two lots were organized, in which the experimental treatment was represented by the fact that only one lot benefited from improved feeding and maintenance conditions, the other lot being maintained throughout the lactation period together with the mother sheep. The statistical processing of data obtained from the weightings performed in the lots that have benefited from different experimental treatments during nursing period shows a more intense rate of body mass accumulations in the lot that benefited from a directed growth realized in a separate space in which they received additional food resources. At the age of 60 days in the group that benefited from an improvement of the comfort conditions but also from an additional feed, the average body weight was 18.970 ± 0.106 kg while in the group of females kept in common compartments with the mother sheep this parameter was smaller, namely 15.710 ± 0.160 kg. The difference in body mass between the average values determined for the two groups based on the live weight determined at the age of 60 days was 3.26 kg and had a high statistical significance level for P <0.05. At the time of weaning, near the age of 90 days, the same aspect is observed, meaning that the weight had higher average values also in the lambs who benefited from an improvement of the maintenance technology, the difference between lots being +2.44 kg and was significant for P <0.05. All the data obtained as well as the statistical significance of the differences between lots confirms that the extension of this practice can have favorable effects on the degree of body development, the increase of precocity and on the significant improvement of the main indices of reproduction.

Study of the quality of pelt at lambs of Moldovan Karakul type
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2019) Evtodienco, Silvia; Maşner, O.
The main indexes after which are appreciated the pelts obtained from the lambs of the karakul breed are: ranking, type of loop, silk and gloss. The testing of the pelt qualities was carried out at the breed farm of TES "Maximovca" during the years 2015-2018 depending on the color of the lambs - black, grey and sur. It was determined that the share of ewe lambs constituted 31.1% in the reference period, the I- st class was 59.3%, and the II-nd and rebut, respectively, 8.8 and 0.8%. These lambs have the desired loop types such as 38.4% flat type, 33.3% jacket type, 24.2% costal type. The evaluation of silk has shown that it is veridical greater at grey lambs compared to black lambs and is 7.84 ± 0.13 points (P> 0.001). Likewise, lambs of the sur color veridical exceed the black ones, making 7.64 ± 0.07 points (P> 0.001). Black lambs gained 6.99 ± 0.13 points. The gloss of the furring cover at grey lambs veridical exceeds the gloss of black and sur lambs constituing of 7.78 ± 0.14 points (P> 0.001), and those sur and black respectively 7.3 ± 0.11 and 7.2 ± 0.13 points.
