A word from the editor-in-chief,

 Meat Technology is in the group of journals in the field of biotechnological sciences and is ranked 6th of 36 in the Republic of Serbia according to the categorization of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development. The long tradition of publishing of the journal, which turns 60 this year, speaks of the importance of cooperation between the publisher - the Institute of Hygiene and Meat Technology and researchers in the field of meat science, as well as the meat industry. In the hope that we will continue to provide quality scientific papers, both from our country and the region and around the world, we thank all the authors, reviewers and the editorial board of the journal, which for the third year is ranked in the category of National journal of international importance (M24).
