Sažetak
Carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is nutritionally and protectively very valuable plant, especially seeds which are widely used in the food industry. Carob pods and juice has a very important role in diet of Mediterranean countries. Bay laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) is also nutritionally and protectively very valuable plant overspread on the Mediterranean basin. The most important parts of the bay laurel plant are leaves which are used in traditional medicine, and in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Both species are also an important component of the Mediterranean vegetation and grows in marginal and prevailing calcareous soils. Knowledge about Croatian populations of carob tree and bay laurel is quite limited and these studies will be conducted to determine morphological, genetic, phytochemical and ecological traits of Croatian populations of these species. Additionally, possible positive effects of addition supplement of carob tree in standard food for animals on health and production parameters in weaned pigs as the natural replacement of antibiotic growth promoters will be investigated. Respecting the small level of pollution of Croatian islands and some coastal areas, growing, and processing of bay laurel is completely complementary with growing of carob trees might have a positive impact green and sustainable development. In this presentation the results achieved during the first research year of research project TEUCLIC will be exposed. The project is financed by the Croatian Science Foundation under the grant number HRZZ IP-11-2013-3304 TEUCLIC.
