In Slovakia, as in other Central and Eastern European countries, major changes have occurred in all areas of life. The conditions for cattle breeding have changed significantly, mainly in relation to product markets. Domestic consumption has decreased, and the milk and meat markets have been liberalised. Pressure on product quality has increased. Simultaneously, however, the opportunities for technological and biological modernisation have improved. A system of extension services was required which would be widely available. A flexible Extension Services Network was therefore introduced in which all could engage – independent advisers as well as advisory organisations. Advisers as well as users have become familiar with new ways of communication with the aim of utilising the most recent knowledge in practice as effectively as possible. The paper will describe examples of production system approaches to the modernisation of cattle farms in Slovakia. Also the role of the Animal Production Institute in this process of knowledge transfer will be discussed. Some findings of the EU-project, in which the dissemination of research into practice under the conditions of the enlarged European Union were studied, will be presented.
