Abstract

Povećanjem brojnosti ljudske populacije, povećavaju se i potrebe za hranom. Kako bi se zadovoljile velike potrebe za proizvodnjom hrane životinjskog podrijetla, razvijeni su intenzivni sustavi uzgoja životinja, koji su rezultirali mnogim problemima njihove dobrobiti upravo zbog nedovoljne prilagodbe na takve sustave. U ovom radu opisani su glavni problemi dobrobiti goveda, svinja i peradi proizašli iz intenzivne proizvodnje, uključujući pojedinačno držanje teladi, pojedinačno držanje gravidnih krmača i nazimica te držanje kokoši nesilica u konvencionalnim baterijskim kavezima, koji se smatraju najupitnijim načinima držanja farmskih životinja glede njihove dobrobiti. Iako se brojni problemi dobrobiti farmskih životinja danas nastoje riješiti promjenom načina držanja i upravljanja proizvodnjom, pa se tako u Europskoj uniji kokoši nesilice više ne smiju držati u konvencionalnim kavezima, s obzirom na visoku proizvodnost životinja, stalno se javljaju novi problemi. Upravo zato je potreban kontinuirani rad na području dobrobiti farmskih životinja u cilju osiguranja, odnosno poboljšanja njihove dobrobiti.

Abstract (english)

In relation to the expansion of human population, there is increasing need for food. To accommodate the huge needs for food of animal origin, intensive production systems have been developed, resulting in many animal welfare issues because of their insufficient adaptation to these systems. This paper describes the key welfare issues of cattle, pigs and poultry arose from the intensive production, including confined stalls for calves, gestation stalls for sows and gilts and conventional cages for laying hens, which are considered as the most questionable housing systems for farm animals with regard to their welfare. Although nowadays numerous farm animal welfare issues are tried to be solved by changing the housing systems and farm management, e .g. in the European Union laying hen housing in the conventional cages is prohibited, considering the high animal production, new issues are constantly arising. Therefore, there is the need for continuous work in the field of farm animal welfare aimed at ensuring, i. e. improving their welfare.
