Abstract

The environment is now threatened by the creation and accumulation of waste materials in all branches of industrial production and in the meat industry. The importance of safe animal waste disposal increases with the intensification of animal breeding and with development of meat processing plants. Solving of the problem of safe animal waste disposal is very important. It is irreplaceable, preventive veterinary and sanitary measure used in control of livestock diseases and zoonosis. Nowadays, it has an important role in environment protection. In the World, the best way of safe animal waste disposal from meat industry as well as dead animals is their collecting and utilization (for feed production, chemical industry and fuel), depending on the raw material structure and its characterization, their processing in special plants with modern equipment and technology. It was emphasized that facilities for animal wastes processing should be treated from two aspects: as processing plants aiming at the environment protection and as possible environment polluters.
