Poland is on the 3-rd place (after Germany and Spain) in the livestock production, with the 10% share of total production of pork meat in the UC countries. In the national breeding herds, the lean meat content is similar to analogous genetic groups in the leading (except Belgium and Denmark) UC countries. By the reason of the future integration of Poland with UC countries and the necessity of adaptation to European standards, there were proposed some practical recommendations for national breeding and meat industry.
