Aluminosilicates, including zeolites, have garnered attention in animal husbandry due to their diverse applications for improving meat quality. This review synthesizes research findings on the impact of zeolites on various meat quality parameters, covering performance analysis, meat composition, sensory aspects, and technological parameters. Notably, zeolites influence carcass weight differently, with varying effects observed across different animal species. Additionally, zeolite supplementation alters meat composition by affecting fatty acid profiles and water-holding capacity. Sensory parameters such as colour and texture are also influenced by zeolites, with particle size and coating with nanosilver playing significant roles. Moreover, zeolites affect technological parameters like pH and cooking loss, highlighting their multifaceted impact on meat quality.

The paper presents a multidisciplinary and complex study carried out in the Corabia - Olt area, in which, in the first stage, an inventory and characterization of the natural tourist potential of the area is carried out, which is not very rich and attractive, but as a novelty for the area, an attempt is made to the very important asset for tourism in general is highlighted, that the town is located on the bank of the largest water course in Romania and even in Europe, the Danube River. After that, a study is carried out regarding the anthropic tourism potential, which from the data presented was found to be rich, diversified and very valuable through the touristic sights of historical, cultural and religious importance that it possesses. Unlike other areas in the country, which have an equally rich anthropogenic tourism potential, the town of Corabia can clearly differentiate itself in terms of the tourist offer, by making maximum use of the advantages offered by the tourist port, with all its endowments. The study on the characterization of the tourist activity based on some quality indices that we determined, highlighted the fact that the tourist activity in the area is less, but it can be revived by creating an attractive and original offer, based on the practice of tourism specialized in hunting and fishing and in cruise and transit tourism, through cross-border cooperation with other countries bordering the Danube.

This paper provides a detailed analysis of the position of agriculture among the bioeconomy sectors in the European Union and Romania, focusing on the recent period. It explores the National Competitiveness Strategy 2015-2020, which identified 10 economic sectors, including the 5 considered part of the bioeconomy. Using Eurostat statistical data and processing them through SPSS software, indicators such as minimum, maximum, mean and standard deviation were calculated to highlight the evolution of this sector. In the EU, the bioeconomy generated around 17.2 million jobs and €664 billion in value added in 2020, with an increasing trend in value-added and a decreasing trend in jobs. Sectors with high potential, such as food, agriculture and wood products, have seen significant added value. Romania is presented as having a high potential to develop the bioeconomy, based on the diversity of natural resources. The bioeconomy has been found to have a significant presence in primary sectors such as agriculture and the food industry and can contribute to sustainable growth and job creation in the private sector. Agriculture is considered an important pillar of the bioeconomy ecosystem, by providing added value and creating employment opportunities. As of 2020, across the EU-27, the agriculture sector represented a high share of the value added in the bioeconomy, supporting the efforts to sustainable development and the efficient utilization of biological resources on European scale.

The current stage of development and capitalization of the tourist potential in the Danube Delta area was identified based on multidisciplinary research, presented in this paper, in which three stages were completed, which aimed at the study of the natural and anthropic tourist potential, as well as the circulation and activity touristic. Regarding the natural potential, it was found that it is very rich, diversified and valuable, showing a strong character of uniqueness and authenticity, through the multitude of endemic and protected plant and animal species, many of which are included in the UNESCO international heritage. Although the cultural-historical and monumental heritage is not very rich, compared to other areas in the country, it represents a strong asset for attracting tourists due to the age and date of attestation of the existing historical fortresses and monuments. The current stage of development of tourism capacities was highlighted through the analysis of several indicators that focused primarily on the development of tourist activity in the villages of this region and through their comparative analysis with the values recorded at the national level. A comparative assessment of the flow of Romanian and foreign tourists arriving in the period 2018-2022, in this area, was also carried out, in order to highlight the level of capitalization of the existing tourist capacities and the stage of its promotion, at the national and international level.

Milk that was obtained from cows with different genotypes for the kappa-casein gene in accordance with the requirements of normative documents corresponds to typical cow's milk in terms of physical and chemical parameters. According to the results of the conducted research, it was established that the sensory characteristics of the cheese are influenced by the genotype of the kappa-casein gene of the animals from whose milk it is made. In terms of the content of the main chemical components, cheeses made from BB milk had a higher content of solids and protein. Cheese made from the milk of cows with the AB genotype was characterized by a higher total content of amino acids (it was 16.6 mg/g). A higher yield of cheese was obtained from the milk of animals with the BB genotype (13.1%) compared to milk from animals with the AA and AB genotypes. The obtained results are of practical importance, since it is possible to take into account how changes in the kappa-casein genotype in raw milk can affect the yield of cheese, and therefore the profitability of its production.

Sustainability in the labour field on a farm in the Nord-East Region of Romania is a valuable subject having a significant impact on the performance and long-term development of the agricultural enterprise. The efficiency of using the available resources is known as productivity or effectiveness. The efficiency measurement can be attained through several methods, however two of them are most frequently utilised for performance evaluation. The first method, the physical productivity computed by measuring the natural performance of production indicators and is expressed in natural or conventional units; the second method, the performance is measured in terms of value, allowing to evaluate efficiency in terms of financial-monetary terms and is utilised in the modern management of enterprises. In this paper, the main objectives include identifying the optimization directions of workforce performance for S.C. Treter S.R.L., evaluation level and labour productivity evaluations, available resources analysis for improving labour productivity and review of economic consequences of the changes traced in the workforce productivity field. In the period 2019-2023, S.C. Treter S.R.L. increased the number of employees from 12 to 17, this expansion was the result of the company's development policy, oriented towards the acquisition of additional land and expansion of operational capacities, and the evaluation of work efficiency shows an increase in annual return from 218,526 lei/employee in 2019 to 229,363 lei/employee in 2023. In terms of commercial labour efficiency, it peaked in 2022 at 233,199 lei/employee and the analysis of daily and hourly efficiency showed fluctuations, with the highest productivity level in 2022 and the lowest in 2021, thus highlighting the variable impact of agricultural production and number of employees on the company's performance. The study showed that S.C. Treter S.R.L. had a steady increase in the number of employees and improved efficiency in the use of human resources, indicating a well-founded expansion strategy, thus the positive developments in work efficiency underline the importance of continued investment in technological progress and employee skills development. These measures are essential for maintaining and improving productivity and adapting to fluctuating economic conditions, and increasing work efficiency has a direct impact on the volume of output and the time taken to produce it, thus highlighting the essential role of effective human resource management in organisational success.

Territorial reorganization is a concern at the European level and of the component states in order to adapt to the requirements of contemporary society. Romania is an eloquent example in this sense because of the major imbalances of all kinds which have been accumulated between Romania's counties based on an outdated model of territorial organization having serious socio-economic and political implications. In this context, the paper aimed to find a performant, optimized and balanced solution through a new approach based on the principles of the concept of "societal bioharmonisation". A conceptual and methodological mechanism is described which is based on the evolution of the development in the convergence with natural resources (relief, waters, forests, land categories) with food territorial security through production and agri-food potential, based on human and financial resources, with the quality of life and (through purchasing power and life expectancy) of the local community. The research methodology included: bibliographic study, data collection and processing using different procedures like: multi-criterion analysis, pointing method, weighting method, the weighted arithmetic mean, comparisons among the extreme regions etc. A series of calculation formulas were used to quantify through the necessary objective indicators and to reorganize the territory from 41 counties with huge gaps among them at present to 11 balanced departments and the capital separately as shown in the proposed new Model of territorial administrative balanced and bio-harmonized organization. The offered solution shows that by harmonizing the factors taken into account in terms of agriculture and food (for example: weighted arithmetic mean etc) a level of bio-harmonization of the administrative-territorial structures of Romania is reached with the potential integration, efficiency and balance, thus reducing the differences in the economic development and life quality. A significant decrease of the polarization of the society development and improved life quality is assured by the new Model so that the difference among the territorial units was diminished from +/- 110 % to a much smaller difference of +/- 14 %, without taking into consideration Bucharest which operates like a metropolis. In this way, the new administrative organization induces through the proposed model an optimized utilization of the resources and a greater equity by bringing closer the opportunities offered to the population throughout the country.

In the article, the efficiency of two-phase rearing of piglets was compared with a change in the feeding system from dry to liquid feeding for different periods of the phases of this production cycle. It was discovered that animals reared in a one-phase system with dry feed had the lowest daily feed intake on average. In contrast, those in a two-phase system, with the second phase involving liquid feed for 9 days, showed a 14.8% increase in average daily consumption. This figure rose to 20.3% with an 18-day duration of the liquid feeding phase and further to 32.4% with a 27-day duration, compared to animals in the single-phase system. It was found that when the piglets were fed liquid feed for 18%, 35% and 53% of the total rearing period in the second rearing phase, their live weight increased by 3.4%, 7.9% and 12.2%, respectively, at the transition to fattening with analogues with single-phase top-up and 100% dry power supply system. The highest income was achieved in animals reared in two phases with a phase duration of 27 days on liquid feed, which was 6.2 % higher than in animals reared in one phase on dry feed, and 16.0 % higher in two-phase rearing with a second phase duration of 9 days and 7.3% higher than in two-phase rearing with a second phase duration of 18 days.

Agricultural land fertilization expenditure has evolved significantly in the European Union (EU27) and in Romania, reflecting economic, technological and regulatory changes in the agricultural sector. Differences in fertilization expenditures, depending on the economic size of farms, are particularly relevant in the analysis of expenditures and profitability in agriculture. The methods and indicators used allow a comprehensive assessment of the performance of agriculture in Romania in relation to the EU27 average. By using these methods, not only general trends can be identified, but also specific aspects that require improvement, such as economic efficiency, agricultural productivity and resource use. The indicators provided are relevant for both short-term and long-term analysis, thus facilitating better strategic planning for the development of the agricultural sector. The analysis of the evolution of expenditure on the fertilization of agricultural land by classes of economic size in the EU27 and in Romania highlights a trend of increasing expenditure, influenced by multiple variables, including the economic size of farms, access to technology, and agricultural policies. To ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of agriculture, it is essential to adopt measures to support small and medium-sized farms in accessing the resources and technologies needed to optimize fertilization expenditure.

Among the fundamental human needs, the provision of food products can be mentioned, as a necessary condition for the survival of each individual. Among the influencing factors of food consumption can be mentioned the income and expenditure of the population allocated to the purchase of food. After the accession to the EU, oscillating evolutions of consumption were recorded, regardless of whether it is about the consumption of different social categories, in total, development regions or environments, but also by nutritional elements. In the context of these aspects, the object of this approach is represented by the analysis of the consumption of food products, respectively highlighting the changes and gaps registered after joining the EU. From a methodological point of view, the current approach is based on public information regarding the evolution of food consumption and the main influencing factors. The analysis of the existing data highlighted the increasing trend in the consumption of certain food products, as well as the incomes and expenses of the population by social category. It is also worth noting the worrying trend of increasing the consumption of carbohydrates and lipids with negative effects on the health of the population.
