Sažetak
A farm could be defined as an ecological niche where animals live, are raised and kept. A form should accomplish optimal conditions for animals so they will be able to express their production potential. Good animal accommodation at the farm implies respecting all hygienic and zootechnical standards which include construction, technical and technological solutions, technology of accommodation and keeping, equipment and mechanisation, way of feeding and watering, systems of faeces removal etc.
Considering our approach to the EU we are already trying to adjust some regulations to their demands. So, the latest Regulations on required conditions for protection of animals on farms (NN 136/05) is written in that spirit. The Regulations define obligations of the authorized veterinarian on farms. General conditions for building and equipping houses and the protection of farm animals are based on modern zoohygiene and technology. General conditions for protection of calves, all pig categories and minimum conditions for laying hens protection in detail are elaborated.
They welfare law (NN 19/99) provides for animal protection farms are listing all obligations of animal owner regarding accommodation, feeding and watering.
