The ever increasing demand for poultry products is due, in the first place, to their role in sound nutrition, to a continuous improvement in quality, to the establishment of systems of quality control throughout the whole cycle of production, and to the enlargement of the assortment wanted by consumers. The first part of the paper sums up consumers' demands and the international aspects of production, trade and quality adjusted to them, since the domestic poultry industry cannot back out of the processes determining poultry production in the greater part of the world either. Separate chapters deal with the individual aspects of quality safegurding established in advanced countries, the necessity of their introduction in poultry production, the expectable role of traditional and mew techniques used in breeding, and the significance of biological fundaments for the production of first-class quality products. In the course of a brief description of the present situation and future prospects of domestic poultry selection, breeding and production, the necessity of producing first-class quality is emphasized, along with the system of conditions of qualitative requirements to partly or entirely typical Hungarian poultry products already existing or capable of being created in the future. Finally, there are a few recommendations and propositions which are, to the author's opinion, worth being considered in the interest of strengthening domestic poultry breeding and selection, establishing requirements to quality on an international level, and developing Hungarian poultry industry
