In this study, the term “a national scientific paper” refers to an article published in a national journal belonging to category MS0. In addition to the categorization for the purpose of quantification of scientific and research results, scientific papers are classified according to the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) scheme and system. In the UDC, animal husbandry and breeding in general are placed under agriculture and related sciences and techniques. Given the above, the aim of this study was to quantitatively show scientific interests in the field of animal husbandry and breeding in general at the national level, based on the categorization of journals and classification of scientific papers. MS 1, M52 and M53 national journals and UDC codes assigned to published articles were used for the analysis. All national journals dedicated to scientific research that meet the requirements of bibliometric analysis were covered. Within these journals, all articles published in the past few years (from 2009. to 2014.) and containing UDC codes beginning with 636 were analyzed. Apart from the fact that UDC is an important scheme and a highly flexible classification system based on which national catalogues and national bibliographies are being organized, the results of this study can be used in creating new and more complex scientific questions arising from current and future problems. Overall, despite the fact that scientific interest in animal husbandry and breeding in general is focused on economically important animal species, the results of the present study may stimulate future research into neglected areas.
