Web application for the analysis and planning of dairy cow rations (KOKRA) was developed within the information system “CATTLE” which also includes the archive of regular monthly milk recording data. Application KOKRA also includes database “FEEDS” which enables the importing and storage of the results of feedstuff analyses from labs, data on the nutritive value of commercial feed mixtures, data which are entered into the database by farmers and the composition and nutritive value of different feedstuff form literature. In the application updated equations for the estimation of net energy for lactation and metabolizable protein were integrated. Additionally, the latest standards and systems for the prediction of dry matter intake, physically effective fibre, carbohydrate fractions and macro-mineral requirements were inserted. The integration of potential standard lactation curves for Slovene cattle breeds enables better planning of lactation and daily requirements of nutrients according to lactation phase and cow production potential. Application is upgraded with warnings and recommendations regarding the physiological adequacy of the diet and enables connectivity of existing databases on a farm level as also storing of planned rations.

F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
COBISS.SI-ID: 4164712Programme group is responsible for the official methodology, under which Slovenia reports on greenhouse gas emissions and certain other pollutants into the air and waters. In 2013 we participated in the preparation of National Inventory Report to United Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the preparation of report to the UNECE Convention on Longe-Range Transboundary Air Pollution. With the aim of keeping national inventory and projections, a new methodology for the assessment of emissions of ammonia (NH3), nitrogen oxides (NOx ) and non-methane volatile organic compounds ( NMVOC ) from agriculture were developed. New methodology for the national N balance was also developed. For the purpose of the Operational Programme for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions up to 2020 we have prepared outlines, measures and projections for the agricultural sector.
