The purpose of this research was to study some of the dialectal denominations in the field of livestock breeding. We examined the denominations of 18 species of domestic animals, the gender and the category of animals, the barns, some of the characteristics of reproduction and the farm chores. We prepared a questionnaire with 210 questions and we chose one farm in each of the following dialectal groups: Panonsko/Pannonian, Štajersko/Styrian, Dolenjsko/Lower Carniolan, Koroško/Carinthian dialect, Rovtarsko/Rovte, Gorenjsko/Upper Carniolan and Primorsko/Littoral dialect. The answers were recorded and written in a simplified form, without the tonematic accent. The results of the research, i.e. the answers and comments for each denomination were given in the following order: the word meaning written in the dictionary Slovar slovenskega knjižnega jezika/Dictionary of the Slovenian Standard Language, the technical explanation, the material, the commentaries of the map and the origin of the word written in the etymological dictionary. The dialectal denominations are also presented on a map. The studied denominations in the field of domestic animals differ mainly on the phonological level, but there are also some expressions which differ on the lexical level.
