The conference is organized by the Animal Production Research Centre Nitra and Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Science, Slovak University of Agriculture Nitra. The aim of the conference is presentation of current research results and legislative information regarding farm animal biotechnology, with actual point on Biotechnology in Animal Biodiversity. Moreover, this conference will provide an opportunity to gather researchers engaged in this field of research in order to exchange their skill and experience as well as to establish potential collaboration in the given points at issue. We would appreciate participation of colleagues from various research institutions and universities at this conference. We would like to wish you nice atmosphere for the presentation and creative discussion and stimulating ideas during your stay in Nitra.

MartYNIUK2,3 1 Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Wrocław, Poland 2 Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW, Warszawa, Poland 3 National Research Institute of Animal Production, Kraków, Poland ABSTRACT The evaluation of the breed structure in the most common livestock species kept in Poland suggests that in the case of the majority of species, the current structure is relevant and addresses the needs of specific sectors (dairy and beef cattle, horses, sheep and goats, fur animals, fish and honey bees). The domestic breeding stock available for pig fattening units does not fully reflect the needs of the sector. Therefore, the domestic breeding material is complemented by a growing import of replacement stock from international breeding companies. Moreover, in 2011, already 2.8 millions of piglets were imported to commercial fattening farms managed in open systems, and in 2012 this number increased up to 3.5 millions. As was already indicated here, the fast growing poultry production sector, both for meat and for eggs, is based, either solely or in the majority, on imported genetics of high productive potential. Key words: animal genetic resources; livestock InTRODuCTIOn National legislative framework relevant to AnGR conservation and sustainable will include: the law Conservation of genetic resources for food and on organization of animal breeding and reproduction agriculture requires maintaining the biological wealth (animal breeding acts of 1997 and 2007
