Sažetak

Wool is important, but in some countries the most important sheep product providing the largest portion of income. However, wool production in Croatia has no economic importance. Wool is a sheep byproduct becoming a great ecological problem mainly because of the impossibility of selling of poor quality wool. In the breed structure of Croatia mostly dominate autochthonous sheep breeds with low wool production of poor and unequal quality. Secondly, sheeps are not being prepared for shearing, while there is no wool classification at all. Because of the poor and unequal wool quality, the majority of wool produced in Croatia is not adequate for textile industry, but it can be used in production of some others wool products (blankets, mattresses, pillows, souvenirs, etc.). That would disable disorganized deposition of wool into environment.
