Summary

Introduction

At this juncture the current global trend is the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, increasing demand for organic products, in particular, of animal origin. The development of organic livestock production for the agricultural sector of national economies of many countries is considered as promising one After all, this type of entrepreneurial economic activity is one where the desire to make a profit is based on environmental protection, animal welfare and public good by producing safe food (Reganold & Wachter, 2016; Milovanov, 2019; Paliy et al, 2020a). In the process of production of organic livestock products waste from livestock farms is used This in its turn reduces the dependence of producers on synthetic additives, and provides for the standardization of the use of manure to grow crops, which reduces the level of environmental pollution (Nazarenko et al, 2020). Based on these characteristics, such production is close to the goals of sustainable development and meets the aspirations of environmentally conscious consumers (Ulko, 2019)
