Sažetak
Red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) is an autochthonous game species in the Republic of Croatia. The prevailing breeding model is natural,
with main goals to preserve autochthonous ecosystems. The total of 43 animals was included in this research, divided according to
sex and age (calves, yearlings, sub-adults and adults, 5+). Within the category of calves, weight gain was almost identical in both
sexes, while with age weight difference between sexes favors males. The average weight gain/day in female calves up to the shooting
of yearlings (approximately 18 months) was 96.22 g. For the same category of males,the average weight gain/day was 147.62 g. The
difference in weight gain between males and females was 51.40 g daily. In accordance with the obtained results, according to the average
values, female yearlings (approximate age of 18 months) are at 76 % of adult hinds’ (5+) weight. At the same time, male yearlings
(approximate age of 18 months) are at 67 % of adult stag mass. The lowest recorded weight was 51.85 kg (within the group of female
calves), and the highest was 202.15 kg in adult stags.
