Sažetak
Mangulica pig breed is an old pig breed that has played a major role in Croatian cattle breeding for more than a century and a half, and in some periods was the most important pig breed in Croatia, especially in Slavonia. Her significance was great in meeting nutritional needs, but also as the basis for creation of the Croatian autochthonous pig breed - black Slavonian pigs. Today, a small number of pigs of this breed is reared in Croatia, and in order to preserve it, in 2016, the Croatian Agricultural Agency started the process of founding the breed register and preparation of the conservation program. The breed register today counts 113 breeding sows and boars, and all three types of Mangulica are represented (white, red and red). Although Mangulica is not our original breed, the long tradition of rearing, its historical significance in the lives of people, and the role in the creation of black Slavonian pigs, are undoubtedly the facts for investing in intensive work in preservation of Croatian breeding of Mangulica and its classification in the List of native and protected breeds of domestic animals of the Republic of Croatia, which is confirmed by numerous historical written evidence and scientific research.
