Dear Sirs and Madams,
The Slovak Organising Committee, The University of veterinary medicine and pharmacy in Košice
and The International Society for Animal Hygiene (ISAH) are pleased to announce and welcome you
to the XVII ISAH 2015 Congress in Košice. The congress is a unique opportunity for agriculture and
scientists to meet and acquire new knowledge as well as to exchange experiences within animal
science. The meeting will take place in Košice from 7th to 11th June 2015.
A main theme of the congress will be “Animal hygiene and welfare in livestock production –
the ﬁrst step to food hygiene” dealing with product quality as well as resource eﬃciency,
sustainability, animal health and well-being and agro-ecology. The program will cover various
thematic topics such as livestock farming systems, animal nutrition, animal management and
health and also cattle, sheep and poultry, goat, pig and horse production.
During the meeting, participants will have the opportunity to attend a number of selected oral
presentations and poster presentations from leading scientists from all over the world. Congress
will be arranged with presentations and discussions of recent research contributing to sustainable
and responsible livestock farming and the eﬀects on the food production. Results from successful
project cooperation between international research groups will be presented. Focus will also be put
on knowledge exchange towards innovation.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Košice, Slovakia 2015 for this inﬂuential event.
Sincerely yours,
Ass. Prof. Ján Venglovský

PREFACE
WHO WE ARE
It is our greatest honor and pleasure to organize the XVII International Congress on Animal Hygiene in
Košice, Slovakia. The present XVII International Congress of ISAH is the second one held in the Slovak
territory as the IV Congress of ISAH was held in 1982 in the High Tatras when Slovakia was part of
the former Czechoslovak Republic. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, Scientiﬁc Committee and
ISAH Executive Board, I cordially welcome you in Košice European City of Culture in Slovakia.
The International Society for Animal Hygiene (ISAH)
The International Society for Animal Hygiene is an association of
veterinarians, agricultural engineers, biologists and other Professional
scientists, practitioners and students working in the ﬁeld of animal
hygiene, health and welfare, safety of food of animal origin, environmental
protection in relation to animal production and related areas. ISAH can
therefore be considered as a group of scientists and practitioners from
universities, farming and industry contributing to eﬃcient, sustainable
animal farming with healthy animals, providing wholesome food in a sound
environment. Veterinarians and non-veterinary academic scientists (animal
science, agricultural economics, engineers, microbiologists, public health
professionals, epidemiologists) and respective professionals in animal production and agriculture,
who work and/or do research, teaching and education in the ﬁeld of animal hygiene, can apply for
a membership of ISAH, and are most welcome to attend ISAH congresses and conferences.
ISAH has been identiﬁed as inﬂuential conferences worldwide for professionals in animal hygiene,
health and welfare to discuss and develop the latest research. The beginnings of friendly contacts
and scientiﬁc communication between animal hygienists of western and eastern European countries
date back to the sixties. They were initiated most of all by the developing animal production and
the intensiﬁcation-oriented changes in animal husbandry and the associated health risk. The
requirements on the exchange of information and scientiﬁc collaboration increased and culminated
in the statutory meeting of the International Society for Animal Hygiene (ISAH) held in Budapest.
By the establishment of the Society the founders wanted – to promote organized collaboration
among animal hygienists and create forum for their regular meetings in a world, which then
was politically distributed to accelerate the spreading of scientiﬁc information, to assist in the
formation of uniform understanding of animal hygiene as one of the branches of veterinary science,
to help to realize new scientiﬁc achievements for the beneﬁt of animal production, to serve both
the economic production of foods of animal origin and improvement of quality of the products.
The motto of XVII Congress of ISAH is “Animal hygiene and welfare in livestock production –
the ﬁrst step to food hygiene” and the scientiﬁc program follows the scope of the ISAH and
concentrates on the following subjects: Animal hygiene and food quality and safety; Animal health,
welfare and behavior; Prevention of disease, biosecurity – Vaccination; Animal hygiene, preventive
veterinary medicine and herd health; Zoonoses, emerging diseases, Precision Livestock Farming;
Novel housing and husbandry system; Sustainability in livestock production; Environmental
pollution, emissions, abatement; Feed, water and waste hygiene and management; Livestock in
developing countries; Climate Change and livestock production.
The Proceedings from the XVII ISAH 2015 Congress present papers of lectures from invited
keynote speakers, oral and poster presentations held in 2 parallel sessions.
The University of veterinary medicine and pharmacy in Košice
The University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice is the only
institution in the Slovak Republic oﬀering higher education in the veterinary
ﬁeld. It has been providing the veterinary education in English for 15 years.
Nowadays the University oﬀers two English study programmes: 6-year
degree programme for secondary-school graduates and 4-year degree
post-BSc. programme for bachelors in agricultural, veterinary or biological
sciences, both leading to the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM).
EFSA – The European Food Safety Authority
EFSA is an independent European agency funded by the EU budget
that operates separately from the European Commission, European
Parliament and EU Member States. EFSA is the keystone of European
Union (EU) risk assessment regarding food and feed safety. In close
collaboration with national authorities and in open consultation with
its stakeholders, EFSA provides independent scientiﬁc advice and clear communication on existing
and emerging risks.
It is my privilege to thank all participants, contributors, chairpersons, organizational and technical
assistants for their considerable eﬀorts and inputs. We wish you all have a meaningful and pleasant
XVII ISAH 2015 Congress and pleasant time during your stay in Košice, Slovakia.

St. Elisabeth´s Cathedral
The easternmost Gothic cathedral in Europe, St. Elisabeth’s is the largest church in Slovakia, the
pride and very symbol of Košice. It houses the Altar of St. Elisabeth, a rare Gothic double spiral
staircase, one of only ﬁve of its kind in Europe. Construction began around 1380. The frescos and
sculpting inside and out are the works of Štefan, a local master craftsman from the 15th century.
There’s also a sundial from 1477 and, in the crypt, the leader of the most signiﬁcant anti-Habsburg
uprising in the former Kingdom of Hungary, Francis II Rákóczi. Superb views of Košice spread out
from the top of the accessible northern tower, 60 meters high. As you come out of the main doors,
take a good look at the decorative riddle on the facade, part of what makes this cathedral unique
in the world.
Other interesting places in Košice:
• The Pyecka Studio, Shop and Gallery
• Sándor Márai Memorial Room
• Small Stage at the State Theatre in Košice
