Poultry education in Croatia

Successful improvement of the Croatian poultry production, particularly of the family farms, demands availability of the so-called knowledge capital. Based on this assumption, the research is focused on the analysis of the existing poultry formal and non formal educational system and need for general and specialized education of the poultry producers. The analysis shows that current practice in formal education system and transfer knowledge does not demonstrate widespread integration of management, marketing, food quality and environmental topics into poultry educational programs. There is a comparatively small number of additional educational forms and intellectual services for farmer professional training and permanent education. This demands the development of a flexible and multy-functional education subsystem based on setting up of functional relations between knowledge and demand of modern poultry production, aimed at strengthening of the basic know-how and capacities, encouraging of initiatives, realistic synergy compatible with the dynamical nature of the scientific and technological achievements. It is necessary to incorporate inter-disciplinary approach into vocational educational programs and to expand public and private self-education sources for poultry farmers.
