The magazine Mljekarstvo, as a scientific-professional magazine, is published quarterly. Although the magazine Mljekarstvo is not the oldest publication dealing with the production and processing of milk and dairy product issues, it is necessary to point out the fact that it is the only scientific - professional dairy magazine in Croatia with 58-year tradition of being published. The first issue, published by the Croatian Dairy Operators' Association, was published in 1951. In a paper at a Union conference held 28 October 1951 in Zagreb it was said: "Our desire is that this magazine does not meet the fate of its predecessors, but that it continues to reflect the creative efforts and to provide guidelines for the producers as well as all other operators employed in the dairy industry.".
