We presented the overall purpose and specific objectives of the project at the main professional meeting of Slovenian Hunting Association that was attained by different representatives of hunting organizations and other experts from that field. This audience represents an important part of the public that is involved in this matter. We believe that our presentation significantly reduced the scepticism of that particular public regarding the project aims.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4098214The paper presents a study in which the effect of wild animals grazing on yield decrease and grassland forage quality on particular farm at Kočevska region is assessed. Economic consequences of yield reduction due to grazing were observed at the farm level. It was established that dry matter yield on the farm has decreased for 34 % due to wild animals grazing. The greatest impact on yield reduction is from early spring grazing. Economical estimations on the basis of performed experiment, model costs estimation and prices of grassland forage on the market showed that direct costs of feed on the farm due to the yield decrease increased for about a quarter.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4760680Relationship between the time of cut, net energy value (NEL) and chemical composition of some economically important species of grasses and legume species were studied. It was established that NEL values, crude protein, crude ash and sugars decrease with aging of herbage in all grasses and legumes. The rate of decreasing was specific for different types of species. Recommendations were made when to cut specific species of grasses and legumes to achieve best quality of silage or hay.
