Abstract

The aim of this study was to estimate the variability of cattle effectives and dairy production from the county of Vâlcea during a six year period, 2001 – 2006, and quantify possible association of this variability with the variability of the cattle effectives and dairy production in Romania and European Union, in conventional rearing system. A test of variable distribution was performed in order to establish the statistical approach needed for estimate correlation, and both parametric and not parametric solutions were found. The variability of the cattle effectives reared in conventional system in the county of Vâlcea during 2001 – 2006 is positive and moderate correlated with the evolution of Romanian cattle effective. The evolution of these effectives are negatively correlated with the evolution of the same variable reported in EU, in the same period. The cattle dairy production obtained during 2001 – 2006 in the county of Vâlcea was moderate correlated with productions from Romania and EU.
