Zasoby paszowe i produkcja zwierzęca

Abstract

The article discusses the present sta e in the animal production within the food zone of th e urban administrative province of Łódź against the background of fodder supplies. There is also outlined the concept of development of these food economy spheres till 1990. The food zone in question, despite its insignificant fodder resources, is charaoterized with a big size of livestock and big marketability of the animal production. The spatial distribution of animal breeding and of market-oriented production is differentiated by natural and socio-economic factors. Intensification of the fodder base and its proper utilization will pave the way for rational development of the animal production, and thus for increased production of food in the food zone of Lódź administrative province.
