Abstract

State of the research in the area of utilization of local breeds in Slovakia provides sufficient information for the farmers and breeders associations either on level of diversity based even on pedigree or molecular information as well as the information on molecular composition of milk and meat for animals selection to produce specific quality products. With research and development applied we aim not only to protect something ancient, historical, but also provide progress to increase profitability with ensured safety and sustainability. Present research in area of local breeds utilization is oriented on study of functional traits in cattle as well as sport performance traits in warm blood horses.
