This research was done on 48 breeding mares of the Breeding Center from Đakovo and 48 breeding mares of popular folks growing. The first fertilization of fillies fro, studs was conducted at their age of 3.62 years, and of those from popular breeding at age of 3.90 years. The first foaling of stud fillies occured at age of 4.56 and of popular breeding at age of 4.82 years. Pregnancy of the stud mares lasted 0.71 day shorter compared with that of animals from popular breeding, while the service period lasted less by 9.84 days.
