Sažetak
Poultry production is an important branch of animal husbandry in the Republic of Croatia. This paper presents an overview of developments in the poultry production referring to meat and eggs in the period from 2006 to 2011, as well as import, export, and poultry meat consumption. Total poultry population in 2006 was 10.087mil. of heads, in 2011 that number was reduced by 5.6%, being 9.523 mil. In total poultry population there were 82.75% of chickens, 11.93% of turkeys, 3.37% of ducks, 0.77% of geese, and 1.18% referred to other types of poultry. Poultry breeding was lowered by 21%, and egg production was reduced by 18.2%. The trends in meat and egg production and poultry breeding were calculated for the analyzed period. There were conventional and alternative poultry production systems presented in the paper. Emphasis was put to importance on poultry products in human nutrition, as well as on nutritive values in meat and eggs. The n -3 PUFA, carnosine and lutein were pointed out in the paper as important nutricines (functional ingredients).
Composition of poultry diets, i.e. dietary supplementation with plant and animal oils can affect fatty acids content and composition in meat and eggs. Carnosine is a dipeptide which can be applied as functional ingredient for enrichment of meat within dietary supplementation of β-alanine and histidine. Antioxidative effects of carnosine in live tissue and meat were stressed out in the paper, as carnosine is being studied for its „anti-ageing“ actions. Selenium as a microelement exhibits better efficiency in organic than in inorganic form while being deposited in meat, egg yolk and albumen. Poultry meat and eggs can be used for production of functional food. This paper also presents autochthonous poultry breeds, such as Zagorje turkey and Hrvatica hen. Possibilities of further developments in poultry production in Croatia were also anticipated in this paper.
