The paper analyses livestok density which has tradicionally been used as an indicator of livestock producton intensity, but recently more often used as agro-ecologically i.e. as an indicator of sustainable development of agriculture. The objective of the paper is to identify the present state and to compare it with the limits accepted at the EU level. Although the obtained results show that only a few European countries are so-called hot-spots because of having an extraordinary high livestock density, it should be taken into account that the average livestock density of the countries is analyzed and that the actual state in certain regions is even more serious, especially where population density is very high, as well. As for our country, with less than 30 LSU/100 ha in Serbia and less than 20 LSU/100 ha in the Vojvodina Province (2000-2004), we are among the countries with low livestock density and are still far from the livestock production intensity level which threatens the environment. That, of course, does not mean that there are no pollution problems caused by livestock production and that these issues questions do not deserve a special managers attention.
