Starting with the lagrangian density of the Walecka model of nuclear matter, a set of coupled relativistic transport equations for nucleons, antinucleons, scalar and vector mesons is derived in a systematic way by means of the contour Green function technique. The mean field and the collision terms in the equation are discussed in detail. In both cases the spin degrees of freedom are fully taken into account. 37 refs., 14 figs.
