Abstract

The article analyzes animal production, fodder base, and production capacities of meat-processing industry. Over the years 1975-1980 the meat economy underwent substantial changes. On the one hand, production capacities were greatly increased owing/; to putting on stream a huge processing plant at Rawa Mozowiecka, while on the other hand, like in the remaining part B of Poland, animal production was largely reduced for a number of reasons including both unfavorable atmospheric conditions and the agricultural policy pursued In the seventies. In this situation checking of the drop in the livestock number by means of operations aiming at expanding the fodder potential of the province becomes the most urgent task. Possibilities of increasing production of fodder, and consequently animal production lie in proper and rational utilization of the available production means possessed by both sectors of the agricultural economy and in ensuring more favorable socio—production conditions, and especially a proper level and relation of prices.
