Abstract
The article deals with the production of poultry feeds per feed mills. The 1992 production is compared with the pre-war period and the production forecast for a few years ahead is given. The production of premixes is treated in the same way. Mixing of anticoccidials into poultry feeds as well as their share in the total production have been followed up. Judging by the capacities of the feed mills it is possible to produce as much feed for livestock and poultry as was manufactured in 1992. The problem is in average in bad technology and control inside the feed mills, because this influenced on high quality feed products with minimal cost. After our poll the production ceased about 28 percent in comparison with 1990. The reason were lesser poultry production, not payable export and the loss of market. We estimate 1993 as the year of the biggest fall of production, and in following years it should rises. The most of the premixes in 1992 were produced by the feed mills which included them in their own poultry feed. The expected drop in import were realized, the reason was paying cash down. Just like in finished feed production, Croatia offers possibilities for considerable increase in premix production. The use of anticoccidials has been left over to the feed and premix manufacturers. That is one of the reasons why it has been bigger incidence of clinical coccidiosis in comparison with EC countries. We found the relationship between ionophorous and chemical anticoccidials was 67:33. lt is strongly recommended to use the given program for the changing of anticoccidials.
