title: [The importance of tropical animal hygiene for indigenous animal production].
abstract: Tropical animal hygiene firstly supports the improvement of animal production in tropical countries. Examples show the different disease complexes and the possible ways of transmission. The possibility of an importation of ¿tropical flues¿ means an important danger for our indigenous animal production. Therefore it is necessary to improve both the hygienic situation in the tropics as well as the knowledge on these diseases here, to protect our own animals.
