Abstract

Uzgoj ovaca i koza u Hrvatskoj ima dugu tradiciju. Zahvaljujući svojim biološkim značajkama, ovce i koze spadaju među idealne životinje i za ekološku proizvodnju. Ovce i koze su preživači i svoje hranidbene potrebe najvećim dijelom godine osiguravaju napasivanjem na pašnjacima i livadama. Skromne i lako prilagodljive, to su vrste životinja koje su se dobro prilagodile nepristupačnim, krškim planinskim terenima naše zemlje, pri čemu su za ekološko stočarstvo najpogodnije upravo izvorne pasmine. Ekološko stočarstvo osniva se na proizvodnji hrane visoke hranidbene vrijednosti, uz primjenu visokih standarda za dobrobit životinja, zaštitu okoliša i očuvanje biološke raznolikosti. Pravila u ekološkom stočarstvu, pa tako i u ekološkom ovčarstvu i kozarstvu, definirana su zakonskom regulativom. Broj ovaca i koza u ekološkom je uzgoju u Hrvatskoj u porastu, no potrebno je premostiti postojeće probleme kako bi se ubrzao razvoj ove grane stočarske proizvodnje.

Abstract (english)

Sheep and goat farming has a long tradition in Croatia. Due to their biological characteristics, sheep and goats are ideal animals for organic production as well. Sheep and goats are ruminants and fulfill their nutrient needs during most of the year by grazing on pastures and meadows. Modest and easily adaptable, these are species that have adapted well to the inaccessible, karst mountainous terrain of our country, whereat for organic livestock farming the most appropriate are just indigenous breeds. Organic livestock farming is based on the production of food of high nutritional value, with the application of high animal welfare standards, environmental protection and biodiversity preservation. The rules in organic livestock farming, including organic sheep and goat farming are prescribed by legislation. The number of sheep and goats in the organic farming in Croatia is increasing; yet, it is necessary to overcome existing problems in order to accelerate the development of this type of livestock production.
