Conventional livestock production is still the dominant form of livestock production in the Republic of Serbia. However, there are also great opportunities for the development of organic livestock production. In order for a farm to pass the certification and receive the organic farm label, it is necessary for the farm to fulfil a number of conditions. First of all, it is necessary to harmonize all ecological and production conditions, as well as standards for animals raised in organic livestock systems in accordance with the legal regulations on organic production. The aim of this paper is to present the possible forms of development of organic livestock production in accordance with the principles of environmental protection and sustainable development. For the development of organic animal husbandry, it is necessary to have the interest of consumers who will understand the importance and quality of organic products and appreciate their added value. The process of transforming a conventional farm to organic livestock production requires a certain period of time - the conversion period. The social and ecological importance of organic livestock production compared to conventional farming is the production of sufficient quantities of high-quality food while minimizing all forms of pollution.
