ABSTRACT
Published results of the scientific research, predominantly in scientific
journals, are the basic properties of the scientific information and
communication. Bibliometrics and its methods systematically collect these data,
and further evaluate and analyse them. Therefore the central part of the paper
contains data on the quantitative properties of the journal Zbornik Biotehniške
fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani. Kmetijstvo. Zootehnika (Research Reports
Biotechnical Faculty University of Ljubljana. Agricultural Issue. Zootechnica).
The comparative analysis of two periods 1986–1987 and 1996–1997 has shown
relatively high number of one-authored articles (34.6 % and 30.3 %). Authors are
predominantly from Slovenia, but their articles in the second period were mostly
written in English (56 %, 80 %). The analysis of cited items has shown that this
is not the only difference between the two periods. The cited items are much
newer (mostly articles from distinguished international journals). Almost half
of them are less than five years old. Also the scope of journals in which the
cited articles were published is much broader. These can be taken as a sign of
greater involvement in the international scientific research. Questions of
further journal growth, mostly regarding bilingual nature of the journal are the
suggestions that authors might be giving to the editors. In the future, the
results will be checked with a data analysis for the longer period and compared
with similar international journals.

ABSTRACT
In the majority of Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) strains their VLHA
haemagglutinins cleave into N-terminal and C-terminal parts. In MS strain ULB
925 (clone KF9) it was found that monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) 3E10, 5G6 and 4G2
recognise the C-terminal parts of its haemagglutinin, designated pMSA, as
integral membrane proteins of 51 and 53 kDa. In the same MS clone mAb 125
recognized the N- terminal parts, designated pMSB, as integral membrane proteins
of 47 and 49 kDa. However, in MS strain K1723 mAbs 3E10, 5G6 and 125 reacted
with an uncleaved VLHA haemagglutinin of about 90 kDa. In MS strain ULB 925
clones their haemagglutinin- positive (HA+) and haemadsorption-
positive (HAD+) phenotypes synthesised pMSA defined by mAbs. About
1 % of the populations which ceased to produce pMSA and produced truncated pMSB1
forms (of 27 to 30 kDa) lost the HA+ and HAD+ phenotype.
The switching of the synthesis of pMSA proteins was heritable and usually
reversible. In strain ULB 925 (clone KF9) certain populations which ceased to
produce pMSA defined by mAb 3E10 started to produce pMSB antigenic variant,
recognised by another mAb. In MS strains, besides antigenic- variation of pMSA
and pMSB, their size- variants were also observed and they were recognised by
antibodies of chickens infected with MS.

ABSTRACT
In the research 46 960 parities of Swedish Landrace (SL), Large White (LW), and
both F1 sows, line 12 (SL x LW) and line 21 (LW x SL) were included. With
repeatability animal model the number of piglets born (PB) and the number of
piglets born alive (PBA) in the first six litters were analyzed. The differences
between genotypes were estimated by crossbreeding parameters. Mathernal
components were studied: additive maternal and additive grandmaternal effect as
well a maternal heterosis, all treated as independent variables. The
contribution of additive maternal effect to the breed differences (SL-LW) was
larger for PBA (0.36) than for PB (0.09). The estimated deviation of the F1
crossbreeds from the mid parental value (maternal heterosis effect) was 0.69 and
0.72, for PB and PBA, respectively. The additive grandmaternal effect which
expresses the differences between crossbreeds (SL x LW-LW x SL) is negligible
(0.06 for PB and –0.03 for PBA).

ABSTRACT
In the herd of 34 dairy cows, 11 cows of Brown and 4 cows of Simmental breed
were chosen in order to observe the impact of two different housing systems on
animal behaviour. The first was permanent stable husbandry, where cows were tied
by Grabner ties. The second one was similar, but the animals were let outdoors
to graze on the pasture for seven hours on day (pasture husbandry). Eating
period of cows in pasture husbandry was longer, while drinking, chewing and
resting time was shorter compared to cows in stable husbandry. Despite the
shorter resting period the cows were lying down on pasture more often than the
cows in stable husbandry. This may be due to easier lying down or rising on non
slippery grassland and unlimited movement possibility. The frequency of
defecation and urination was higher in pasture than in stable husbandry,
especially in the hour prior to release to pasture. Presumably the cows were
nervous because they had been hardly waiting to be let from the stable onto the
pasture. In pasture husbandry a lot of licking of other cows and self licking
was noticed. The lack of licking and scratching possibility in stable husbandry
was compensated by frequent grooming against stable fittings.

ABSTRACT
The amino acid composition of raw seeds, lyophilised cooked seeds and the water
soluble matter from cooking of three varieties of Slovenian common beans (Phaseolus
vulgaris), namely Češnjevec, Semenarna 22 and Cipro, and of the French green
lentil (Lens esculenta) Anicia was determined. For the raw seeds, crude
protein contents vary from 21.5, 23.5 and 26.2 g per 100 g of dry matter for the
Češnjevec, Cipro and Semenarna 22, respectively, and 26.7 g in the lentil.
However, non-protein N is higher in the lentil than in the beans. The contens of
amino acids in beans are similar, whereas for the lentil concentrations of
methionine and tyrosine are lower and the concentration of arginine much higher
than for the beans. After cooking the amount of some amino acids (in 100 g of
crude protein) increased, especially tyrosine, methionine and cystine, more in
lentil and less in beans. The EAAI was higher in beans than in lentil and was
increased after cooking the legumes. CS increased after cooking by more than
100 % for the lentil and 20 % for the beans. Analysis of the material obtained
by drying the cooking water showed that predominantly non-essential amino acids
were present in this fraction.
