Abstract: Today’s climatic, ecological, and social challenges impose pres­sure on decision-makers to provide systemic solutions in all areas of busi­ness, including agribusiness. The changes that take place within the do­mestic regulatory framework need to be harmonized with the internation­al legal framework of the sustainable development of the European Union. This will directly affect new solutions for achieving the goals of sustainable development. Modern livestock farms imply the use of modern agricultur­al mechanization following BAT techniques. The application of the princi­ples of BAT techniques should be included in all stages of the production process on the farm. This includes planning, operation, maintenance as well and closing the farm according to acceptable technical and economic con­ditions, all to achieve the highest possible level of environmental protection. This work aims to point out the importance of BAT techniques in agribusi­ness through the prism of sustainable development in the Republic of Ser­bia. The first part of the paper analyzes the impact of global trends on agri­business in Serbia. The second part indicates the importance of applying BAT techniques for sustainable development, while the third part of the pa­per examines the possibility of applying BAT techniques from the aspect of animal husbandry.
