Abstract

Managing animal by-products in the Republic of Croatia is a problem not enough emphasized regarding the amount of by-products created every day and the risks they present for human and animal health. Therefore, it needs to be observed through aspects of hygiene, epidemiology, epizootiology, ecology and economy. Correct and efficient ways of managing animal by-products are elaborated through detailed law documentation and are therefore strictly controlled. The categorisation of animal by-products enabled a better system of their collection, transportation, monitoring, storaging, processing and exploitation. Agroproteinka d.d. is the concessionaire for management of category 1 and 2 animal by-products, but the company also manages a large amount of category 3 animal by-products. Agroproteinka d.d. fulfills all standards for management of animal by-products defined by the European Union and the Republic of Croatia. This is enabled through modern technologies on which the principles of working with these by-products are based on. The company also uses ecological methods for managing animal by-products and supports the principles of circular management. The collecting process of animal by-products supported by a wide network of collecting spots, suitable transportation, efficient and proven methods of processing and providing high quality products for other industries are some of the positive aspects of the company's work. There is a wide range of possibilities for exploitation of products obtained by processing animal by-products.. Previously stated supports the fact that animal by-products are a valuable source of energy. Therefore, they should not be considered as waste. Responsible management is the key to maintaining a healthy human and animal population, and is also an important step in reduction of environmental pollution and reducing the pressure on the entire ecosystem.
