Pig- or pork meat is still keeping its leading role in meat production- and consumption -ahead of poultry - its main rival - which has made a huge development during the past decades. The pig sector has to face huge difficulties almost continuously, anyway periodi-cally - in the EU and in Hungary, as well. The EU has included pork in a category called „light market regulation product paths", hence the development of production/consumption is exposed mostly to the extremities of markets. Because of this, a strong fluctuation in buy-up prices has also been observable up to now, according to the well-known cyclicism in the pig sector, as well as a consequence of the various pig illnesses, changes in con-sumer habits, and so on. Due to the lack of market regulations, an absurd fenomena oc-cures very often, notably: parallel to the decreasing slaughter hog procurement prices -that of forage increase. Consequently, farms have to try to minimise (or being more pre-cise) to optimise costs for the sake of their sustainability, and keeping up competitiveness. Concerning the cost-structure of animal farming, no doubt that costs of forages are deter-minant, especially in case of pig farming it can reach as much as 60-70 percent of the total. Consequently, beside applying „novel" forages, increasing effectiveness of the so-called „traditional ones" is also badly needed.

The clinical manifestations of PRRS virus infection vary from subclinical to severe reproductive failure and/or respiratory disease. Severity of PRRS virus associated disease may result from interactions among factors involving differences in virulence among PRRS virus isolates, probable recombination between the different isolates that are responsible for the clinical manifestation of PRRS in the same farm, differences in concurrent infections (other viruses and bacteria) and hygiene monitoring programme. It is known that viruses and bacteria interacted and the most common model of this interaction is that pathogens bacteria complicate the lesions that are due to viruses. PRRS virus induces predisposition to Streptococcus suis in nursery age pigs and increases susceptibility to Salmonella choleraesuis, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Furthermore, PRRS virus is involved in aetiology and predispose to appearance of Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC) Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS) and Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome (PDNS). The respiratory form of PRRS co-infection with Aujeszky' disease causes severe losses in swine herds due to respiratory problems. In cases of PRRS co-infections with other agents, the cost of pork meat production is raised from the treatments and other special management strategies. Up to date, in Greece, PRRS is appeared with the enzootic form (independendy of the season) with elevations and declines. In Greek swine industry, PRRS virus is involved as primary pathogen agent in cautions of mortality of growing/finishing pigs. During the last years, the presence of the new syndromes of PRDC, PMWS and PDNS causes additional economical losses and increases the cost of Greek pork meat production. The unpublished data of editors indicate that during last year, PRRS caused severe losses in Greek swine industry. Cases of PRRS were noticed in farms which purchased gilts or piglets without keeping out preventive facilities of biosecurity as quarantine, serology examinations etc. The syndrome was appeared with the respiratory form in growing/finishing pigs associated with severe losses, due to the entrance of «new» different isolates of PRRS virus from the purchase of gilts or piglets. It is probably that these «new» different isolates were more virulent than the preexisted isolates or/and predominated with them. In cases, where severe respiratory signs in growing/finishing pigs and no or moderate reproductive form of PRRS were noticed, it is probable that the vaccinations of sows against PRRS did not protect the growing/finishing pigs or the «new» different isolates of PRRS virus had more respiratory than reproductive tropism or coexistenced in all earlier circumstances. Today, PRRS is a dangerous risk factor for the Greek swine industry and for this reason it is important to apply all preventive facilities as: vaccinations, reduction of the introduction gilts and maintenance of a grandparent nucleus in the farm for producing gilts, quarantine and serological monitoring for all introduced animals (gilts and piglets), as well as the purchase of animals from PRRS-negative farms. The purchase of piglets has to be avoided because it induces negative effects on the clinical manifestation and control of PRRS.

AbstractFollowing the European Union (EU) experience, an increasing number of countries are establishing an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The EU ETS often serves as a ‘model’ despite fundamental differences in the receiving environment. In the EU liberalized energy markets, carbon prices are intended to raise the cost of carbon-intensive energy and thereby stimulate cleaner alternatives. In contrast, many emerging economies continue to regulate energy investments and prices, which may insulate consumers and producers from the impact of an ETS. To avoid this risk, energy economists advocate EU-style energy market reforms as a prerequisite to the introduction of the ETS concept abroad. By focusing on the cases of China, Kazakhstan, and Russia, this article highlights the limits on the exportation of the EU liberalization model and argues that, instead of energy reform, the ETS must be reconceptualized as a mechanism that integrates the regulated energy market paradigm in emerging economies.

Modern hog breeding has a long tradition in the Czech Republic it is the stable branch of livestock production. Its main task is to produce high quality pork meat, which must meet all requirements of the processors and the final consumer. Pork meat occupies for decades in Czech Republic first place in consumption per one inhabitant (per year) and it forms more than 50% of the total annual meat consumption. This branch also plays an important role for producers of cereals, which largely contributes to the overall size and stability of the agricultural sector. The increasing imports were the main reason why many Czech hog breeding farms has been reduced or completely eliminated. Reducing numbers of pigs in the last decade is a reflection of supply and demand for pigs. The objecvive of this paper is to evaluate the changes in the cost structure for fattening of hogs and indicate how these changes are reflected in the competitiveness of Czech agriculture enterprises. Choice of optimal strategy of breeding and hog feeding already affects not only the requirements of food security, requirements of quality and affordability. Currently are also very important requirements for animal welfare and environmental protection with an emphasis on the sustainability of production and high hygiene standards. These measures require high investmens and operational costs are reflected in the worsening economy of pork meat production.

Pork Consumption

In this article we would like to present the production and consumption issues of pork meat in the world. We intend to examine the production and consumption of pork meat from the point of view of the population. The growing population of the world requires an increasing amount of food, especially animal source of protein, ie meat. We want to examine how the world can supply the growing population with food, including (pork) meat. The growing population generates ever-increasing consumption from year to year, and may not be able to satisfy it, adequately supplying the population with food, especially (pork) meat. Livestock farming, especially extensive animal husbandry, will be less able to produce sufficient quantities of meat for the growing needs. During the analysis of food (meat) data we would like to present the difference between each continent on both the production and the consumption side. Examining the pork consumption, it should be mentioned the differences in the cultural habits, because the pork meat is the most affected in religious restrictions, regulations. The religious affiliation/identity is basically determined by the food and consumer habits, too. Due to the differences in dietary habits and religious culture, we think that the consumption of pork can be highly variable in the world and from country to country as well. In general, we would like to answer questions about how the world (pork) meat production is going, is the meat consumed in the countries where it is produced (export – import issues), what are the factors that influence (pork) meat consumption (culture and religion impact on pork consumption, animal health issues), and is there enough (pork) meat for the world's growing population.

World meat production is anticipated to stagnate in 2016, rising by a mere 0.3% to 320.7 million tonnes. Increases in output are expected in the United States, Brazil, the EU, India and the Russian Federation, while reduced production is foreseen for China, Australia and South Africa. Global meat trade is forecast to recover in 2016, growing by 2.8% to 30.6 million tonnes, which would represent a return to trend, after a fall in 2015. World production of pig meat in 2016 is forecast to decrease marginally, by 0.7% to 116.4 million tonnes, thus registering a second year of virtual stagnation. As in 2015, lower output in China, which accounts for almost half the world total, is the main reason for the slowdown. An unfavourable feed-pork price ratio in the country and new environmental regulations have caused farmers to reduce breeding sows, stalling growth. China’s production is projected to be 54 million tonnes, down 2.5% from the previous year. Elsewhere in Asia, the Philippines and Vietnam could boost output. Also, production in Japan and the Republic of Korea may expand, as the industry recovers from outbreaks of PED, which reduced piglet numbers in the previous two years. Recovery from the effects of PED has been faster in the United States, where a second year of growth is anticipated, when production could increase by 1.9% to a record 11.3 million tonnes. Output in Mexico also continues to recover, following a PED outbreak in 2014, and may rise in 2016 by 2.0% to 1.3 million tonnes. Pork meat trade could experience a second year of growth, increasing by 4.4% to 7.5 million tonnes – a record level. Lower international prices have stimulated trade. Most of the principal importing countries are anticipated to increase their purchases, including Mexico, China, the Russian Federation, the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Australia. In response to rising demand, exports are projected to grow, in particular those of the United States, Canada, the EU and Brazil (FAO, 2016). Summarizing, in this study we wish to examine how evolve the world pork meat production, trade and consumption, and to demonstrate the main consuming countries, highlighting the role of China, as it is the most populated country in the world with its 1.4 billion inhabitants.

Meat has been playing an important role in the nutrition of humanity from the beginning of time; therefore meat is a fundamental foodstuff. Global population is steadily increasing and people consume more and more foodstuff with high added value including meat and dairy products. In context of meat production and consumption, poultry and pork sector are the major predominant sub-sectors not only nationally, but also internationally. Pork sector had a definite leading role until the end of 1990s. However, this trend has undergone changes and poultry sector is predicted to have this leading role, according to current trends. The aim of our research is to reveal and analize what impacts this structural change have on businesses in these sectors including their asset situations.

Innovators of in vitro meat (IVM) are convinced that this approach is the solution for problems related to current meat production and consumption, especially regarding animal welfare and environmental issues. However, the production conditions have yet to be fully clarified and there is still a lack of ethical discourses and critical debates on IVM. In consequence, discussion about the ethical justifiability and desirability of IVM remains hypothetical and we have to question those promises. This paper addresses the complex ethical aspects associated with IVM and the questions of whether, and under what conditions, the production of IVM represents an ethically justifiable solution for existing problems, especially in view of animal welfare, the environment, and society. There are particular hopes regarding the benefits that IVM could bring to animal welfare and the environment, but there are also strong doubts about their ethical benefits.

The link between dairy farm systems and cost of environmental compliance is not always clear. A survey of Waikato dairy farmers was conducted to establish the real (non-modelled) cost of compliance with environmental regulation in the region. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered to improve understanding of compliance costs and implementation issues for a range of Waikato farm systems. The average oneoff capital cost of compliance determined through a survey approach was $1.02 per kg milksolids, $1490 per hectare and $403 per cow. Costs experienced by Waikato farmers have exceeded average economic farm surplus for the region in the past 5 years. As regulation increases there are efficiencies to be gained through implementing farm infrastructure and farm management practice to best match farm system intensity.

Results of the food consumption surveys are utilized in many areas, such as for example risk assessment, cognition of consumer trends, health education and planning of prevention projects. Standardization of national consumption data for international comparison is an important task. The intention work began in the 1970s. Because of the widespread utilization of food consumption data, many international projects have been done with the aim of their harmonization. The present study shows data collection methods for groups of the food consumption data, their utilization, furthermore, the stations of the international harmonization works in details. The authors underline that for the application of the food consumption data on the international level, it is crucial to harmonize the surveys’ parameters (e.g. time of data collection, method, number of participants, number of the analysed days and the age groups). For this purpose the efforts of the EU menu project, started in 2012, are promising. Orv. Hetil., 2012, 153, 1692–1700.
