In recent years, due to complex climatic and anthropo-genic factors with synergistic action, considerable negative effects on the environment have been recorded. The toll which humankind has to pay for a high degree of civilisation and industrialisation has been increasing constantly. Animal production belongs among the important sources of environmental pollution. Modern animal production produces solid, liquid and gaseous pollutants, which affect unfavourably all components of the environment by both chemical compounds and microbiological agents and contribute to local, regional and global environmental changes. Specific problems are associated with microorganism, which by their diversity and tenacity can result in outbreaks of diseases including zoonoses. All up-to date environmental problems, such as eutrophication, contamination with heavy metals, residues of pesticides and antibiotics, massive death of fish, acid rains, damage to ozone layer, genetic defects, waste dumps, new mutation of viruses and others, result from human activities and disturb the balance or even the integrity of the biosphere.
