VETERINARY AND ZOOTECHNICAL SITUATION IN ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION AT SWINE FARM UNITS IN VOJVODINA (SERBIA)

The primary conditions for successful pig artificial insemination (AI), are adequate health protection treatment of breeding animals,
high hygiene of animals, buildings, equipment and people, and the precise application of modern AI technology measures. The aim of this paper is to establish the veterinary and zootechnological situation at the investigated farm units. Estimated results demonstrate that hygiene, health protection and AI technology, performed at investigated farm units, are not fully in accordance with modern principles of health protection and modern AI technology. The improvement of health protection and AI technology would significantly contribute to improving the health status and reproductive efficiency of breeding animals in the reproductive herds at farm units in Vojvodina.
