Sažetak
The botanical composition of pastures in various areas, with special regard to terpene proportions, have an effect on the terpene profile of ruminant meat aroma, and may also have a potential immunomodulation effect in the animals. Therefore, assessments of pasture composition are of great interest to modern sheep breeding in Croatia. They study showed that medicinal plants with high terpene
content, such as St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.), yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) and lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) have a
potential effect on improving immune status in sheep. The pastures of Velika Crkva had a statistically significant higher frequency, density and cover of these species than the pastures in Kvarte. Therefore, the results presented here contributed to the scientific recommendation for further assessment of the plant composition of pastures in Velika
Crkvina during a separate study the research of the Croatian Science Foundation project IP-2016-06-3685 in order to gain additional
knowledge about the effect of terpenes on the health and flavour composition of lamb meat and to contribute to the production of
innovative and functional lamb meat products.
