Abstract

In Croatia there are about 383.000 cows. Out of these 77% are Simmentals, 5.1% are Brown cows and 4.1% are Holstein-Friesian. The remaining 13.8% are breeds and crossbreeds, the types in the process of changing from less productive into more productive types. They have a secondary role in the commercial production. The group consists of these breeds, i. types: the Podolic (Slavonia - Srijem), the Istrian cattle, Buša, and the Grey cattle in Dalmatia. In the process of changes for more productive breeds the following breeds and types have completely disappered: Pinzgauer, Tuxer-Zillertaler, Murbodner, the cattle from Krk and others.
