The Šink farm is a livestock farm that produces milk, and an additional source of income is the sale of eggs and potatoes. The location of the farm does not allow the expansion of production, so it is a key possibility for further development in the production of products of higher quality and added value. A big challenge is also the dilapidation of the barn, which no longer provides adequate welfare for the animals, and there is also a lot of manual and hard work. By restructuring the production plan, dairy cow rearing would be discontinued on the farm, and suckler cow and fattering bull rearing would be introduced, as well as small-scale rearing of Krškopolje pigs, capun rearing, and at the same time, the volume of laying hen rearing would be increased to 350 animals. For such an expansion, we have foreseen investments in a slaughterhouse for poultry and a cutting plant, in a vending machine for eggs and in a simple barn for rearing laying hens. Calculations show that the proposed changes, together with investments on the farm, would improve the economic indicators as well as the income situation. It would relieve the workforce and thus enable the existence of the farm, while at the same time increasing the perspective for further investments and development.
