Abstract

Busha is one of three Croatian autochthonous breeds of cattle and by population size is the second autochthonous cattle bree in the Republic of Croatia. For reliable and successful planned managing of breeding and implementation of breeding program, it is necessary to systemize breeding on the basis of pedigree data, and organize planned mating by sire lines and dam lines. For this reason, systematization of Busha breed has been conducted (pedigree building), and the result of systematization is defining 24 sire lines and 154 dam lines. Systemized breed by sire lines and dam lines allows planned leading of breeding with goal of avoiding reduction of genetic variability, more reliable determination of demographic parameters, evaluation of complete genetic variability of the breed, more efficient application of molecular research with significantly decreased costs, storage of genetic material in the gene bank, and provides control of breeding regarding to exclusion of heads out of the breeding (slaughtering).
