Invitation to the Presentation of the Terminological Dictionary of Animal Husbandry and Zootechnics

After several years of work, the Terminological Dictionary of Animal Husbandry and Zootechnics has finally been published. It is the first systematic terminology dictionary in this field; experts have compiled nearly 4,000 terms, defined them, and provided their English equivalents.

What is the difference between animal husbandry and zootechnics, between food and feed, between a rabbit and a hare? What does the dictionary offer, how should it be used, and who is it intended for? You can find out this and much more at the
presentationof the Terminological Dictionary of Animal Husbandry and Animal Science,
which will take place on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at 11 a.m. in the Knights’ Hall of the Department of Animal Science, UL BF, Groblje 3, Domžale.

 Presentation program:
·        Opening remarks by Marina Pintar, Dean of the Biotechnical Faculty 
·        Opening remarks by Tatjana Pirman, Associate Dean of the Department of Animal Science, UL BF
·        Peter Dovč: Who is the dictionary intended for?
·        Mitja Trojar (ZRC SAZU): The creation of the dictionary
·        Simon Atelšek (ZRC SAZU): Structure of the dictionary
·        Ajda Kermauner: Feed or food? Mink or rabbit?
·        Antonija Holcman: Closing remarks and acknowledgments

After the presentation, we will practice using the recommended terms while mingling with the other guests. May reading the dictionary and using the “correct” technical terms become a regular practice for you from now on, even in animal husbandry and zootechnics.

You are cordially invited!
