Sažetak
Heard health management is integral part of animal breeding. Domestic animal, as well as autochthonous breeds diseases presents health and socio-economic problem. Disease outbreaks in autochthonous breeds can cause economic losses due to diminished production, mortality or to inability to use animal products. Decrease in autochthonous breed population size is social and ecological problem in means of loss of animal genetic resources. Especially small populations are at risk in case of disease outbreaks because these populations are usually spread on smaller regions and preserved in vivo and in situ without ex situ methods. Legislation includes preventive and those measures which should be taken in case of disease outbreaks. Croatian legislation is already or is in the process of adjustment according to EU legislations. Herd health management for autochthonous breeds should be based upon preventive measures to diminish all risks. Under preventive measures we consider preventive vaccination of animals, good nutrition, drinking water hygiene, optimal housing conditions and regular animal exercise.
