Ružica Trailović is an Associate Professor at the Department of Animal Husbandry within the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Belgrade. She teaches a diverse range of courses including Clinical Pathology and Therapy of Hoofed Animals, Clinical Pathology and Therapy of Cats, Animal Husbandry, Cynology and Feline Science, Breeding and Care of Sports Horses, Sports Medicine, Breeding and Care of Dogs and Cats, Veterinary Genetics, and Biotechnology in Veterinary Medicine.
Her educational background, while not explicitly detailed in the provided text, is evident from her extensive scholarly work and teaching responsibilities. She holds a doctorate (dr) and has achieved the rank of Associate Professor (vanredni profesor) at a prestigious Serbian academic institution.
Professor Trailović's research focuses primarily on veterinary genetics and the conservation of autochthonous Balkan livestock breeds. Her work spans multiple species including sheep (particularly Zackel, Pramenka, and Karakachan breeds), horses (Yugoslav Trotters), dogs (Yugoslav Shepherds), goats, and donkeys. She has made significant contributions to understanding blood protein polymorphisms, genetic diversity, morphometric characteristics, and welfare assessment of traditional Balkan animal breeds. Her research methodology often combines classical animal husbandry approaches with modern genetic and biochemical analysis techniques.
Her publication record shows a consistent research trajectory from the 1990s through 2020, with particular emphasis on preserving Balkan native livestock breeds through scientific documentation and genetic analysis. Her work demonstrates strong regional collaboration across Southeast Europe, particularly with researchers from Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, and other Balkan countries.
Professor Trailović has co-authored numerous textbooks including 'Animal Husbandry - Farm and Social Animals' (2020), 'Animal Husbandry - Practical Guide' (multiple editions from 2007-2018), 'Horse Breeding and Equestrian Sports' (2009), and 'Diagnosis and Therapy of Horse Diseases' (2009), establishing herself as a leading authority in Serbian veterinary education.
She has been actively involved in mentoring students through research projects, thesis supervision, and classroom instruction across multiple veterinary disciplines. Her teaching portfolio reflects comprehensive expertise spanning from basic animal husbandry to specialized clinical and genetic topics in veterinary medicine.
Professor Trailović is part of a well-established research group at the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, collaborating extensively with colleagues including Mila Savić, Vladimir Dimitrijević, and Dragiša Trailović (possibly a relative given the shared surname), indicating a strong research tradition in animal genetics and breeding at this institution.
