Abstract

As a gift from Croatian immigration community in Australia cca 5800 ewes and rams were shipped to Croatia. Majority of that number was distributed to all regions of Croatia, while 880 sheep were transported to Hezegovina. Three pure breeds (Corriedale, Poll Dorset and Boder Leiecter) and two crossed types (Crossbred and Comeback) were impoded. The imported breeds belong to the group of breeds intended for meat and wool production. Lambs have good daily gain and feed: gain ratio with high quality of produced meat and wool with favourable meat: fat ratio. Wod production is 4-6 kg/year for ewes and 6-8 (10) kg/year for rams with average fibre diameter 25-32 pm.
