Abstract
Poultry production in Slovenia and worldwide has been rising faster than other sorts of meat production, primarily due to numerous advantages offered by genetic improvements, intensive feeding and improved technology. All this enabled poultry farming to become a successful and highly profitable agricultural activity, which has gained a prominent position in Slovenia. As regards the overall food industry in Slovenia, chicken meat accounts for 7.8 % of domestic market sales, and represents 9.2 % of foreign market sales. In recent years, Slovenia has reached approximately 42 000 tons of annual poultry production, 59.6 % of which is produced by Perutnina Ptuj. Trends towards increased consumption of chicken meat, particularly in the form of products and ready-to-eat food have been in the recent years quite notable and it seems that the production is bound to increase.V primerjavi z drugimi vrstami mesa je prireja perutninskega mesa v svetu in pri nas rasla hitreje zaradi napredka na področju genetike, prehrane in tehnologije. To vse je omogočilo, da je perutninarstvo danes uspešna in finančno zelo uspešna kmetijska dejavnost, ki se pri nas uvršča na vidno mesto. Glede na skupno prehrambeno industrijo v Sloveniji dosega meso piščancev 7,8 % domače prodaje, z 9,2 % pa pokriva prodajo na tujih trgih. V Sloveniji v zadnjih letih dosegamo okrog 42 tisoč ton letne prireje piščančjega mesa, od tega 59,6 % v Perutnini Ptuj. Trendi povečane porabe piščančjega mesa, še zlasti v obliki izdelkov in pripravljenih jedi, so v zadnjih letih zelo izraziti in kaže, da bo poraba še naraščala
