The management of animal waste from livestock production food industry requires a secure, cost-effective and practical solutions, which are harmonized with EU regulations. According to the EC directive no. 1774/2002 animal waste is classified materials in the first, second and third categories. Categorization of waste is a prerequisite for the proper and safe handling of aspects of public health and environmental protection. The first category includes hazardous materials and stipulates the removal by burning in special furnaces at a temperature of 1200°C. The second and third categories with the prescribed procedures may be used in processing (technical fat and meat-and-bone meal) or for the production of biogas and compost. Animal waste, which includes: animal carcasses, confiscates slaughter, slaughter by-products, a high-risk tissues, the blood of slaughtered animals, etc. Imagine specific dangerous substances that can be a source of infection and environmental pollutants. Disposal of animal waste must be done in a safe manner, otherwise dangerous pathogens are spread by water, air and soil at different distances where they can endanger public health. The paper presents the state of animal waste in our country, expansion and survival of the most common zoonotic pathogens (Salmonella sp., Campylobacter sp., E. coli O157: H7, Listeria, Cryptosporidium, Giardia) in water, soil and manure. According to studies of countries with developed livestock breeding, the proposed methods for safe disposal of animal waste are intended to protect the environment and are economically justified. In these countries, the most frequently applied methods aimed composting in closed systems called biovatori. Biogas and compost are important measures in the rehabilitation of animal waste, and is achieved by taking advantage of the economic benefits of renewable energy. The intention of organized society any serious community of European nations is to conserve natural resources, the exploitation of renewable energy sources, reducing the accumulation of waste, recycling and proper involvement in the circulation of matter in nature. Owing to the above, our research supports the proposal of practical solutions for the safe disposal of animal waste technological processes directed microbial composting, technological process of biogas production (electricity), biological water treatment and incineration of bio-hazardous waste.
