Innovation and implementation of new knowledge of scientific research and breeding practice to improve the teaching of foreign students in the subject of Animal husbandry

Livestock is an important part of the food chain and therefore the knowledge of individuality, but also the common feature of each species is an important part of the work of the veterinarian. Despite the same anatomical, histological and physiological basis, individuals differ from each other, in terms of exterior, reproductive, productive and utility properties. External features (exterior), the basic characteristics of the species and breed, the specificities of the breed, feeding and care are the essential precondition for achieving the highest performance. Ensuring animal health and achieving appropriate breeding conditions to improve food production are among the main objectives of the EU, which are reflected in the current legislation and the training of future veterinary surgeons and state inspectors. The University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy has a long tradition in the education of foreign students. Today's time is progressing very fast, not only in Slovakia but especially abroad, so the available study literature needs to be adapted to the current international requirements. The main output of the project will be the elaboration of a university textbook in the English from the subject of Animal husbandry, based on the latest knowledge not only from the science but also in breeding practice in order to bring as many students as possible to the problems of origin, crossing, selection, breeding, assessment of the exterior, utility properties, last but not least, the production and reproductive characteristics of animals and their differences within species and within individual breed. It will also include an online publication of e-Atlas of livestock breeds, containing a selection of photographs with a describing the best known and newest currently bred breeds of animal.
