Abstract

Sustav „krava-tele“ predstavlja dio govedarske proizvodnje te se ističe kao ekonomski isplativ
i održiv oblik proizvodnje mesa, posebno u regijama s ograničenim resursima za intenzivnu
poljoprivrednu proizvodnju kao što su određeni dijelovi Hrvatske. Ovaj sustav temelji se na
ekstenzivnom korištenju pašnjačkih površina uz minimalna ulaganja u hranidbu i držanje
životinja. Hranidba je organizirana tijekom ljeta napasivanjem životinja slobodno ili na
pregonima uz moguća dohranjivanje voluminoznim i krepkim krmivima. Životinje se drže
slobodno na pašnjacima većinu godine što utječe na povećanu dobrobit jedinki i smanjuje
ulaganja. Tijekom zime potrebne su prikladne nastambe za držanje životinja .Ključne odrednice
uspjeha ovog sustava uključuju pravilno upravljanje tehnološkim fazama, poput teljenja,
pripusta i odbića teladi te odabir odgovarajućih pasmina prilagođenih lokalnim uvjetima i
resursima. Pasmine pogodne za sustav „krava-tele“ su mesne, kao angus, limuzin, šarole, salers
i obrak, ili kombinirane kao simentalska te autohtone pasmine poput buše. Križanje pasmina
služi kao dobar alat za poboljšanje odlika jedinki na temelju heterozis učinka što povećava
proizvodne i reproduktivne performanse. Također potrebno je koristiti i druge metode procjene
i selekcije u svrhu kvalitetnijeg upravljanja sustavom „krava-tele

Abstract (english)

The “cow-calf” system represents a significant part of cattle production and stands out as an
economically viable and sustainable method of meat production, especially in regions with
limited resources for intensive agricultural production, such as certain parts of Croatia. This
system is based on extensive utilization of grazing areas with minimal investment in feeding
and animal management. Feeding is organized during the summer by grazing the animals freely
or in rotational paddocks, with possible supplementation of roughage and concentrated feed.
Animals are kept freely on pastures most of the year, which enhances animal welfare and
reduces costs. During winter, appropriate shelters may be useful for keeping livestock. Key
determinants of the success of this system include proper management of technological phases
such as calving, breeding, and weaning, as well as selecting suitable breeds adapted to local
conditions and resources. Breeds suitable for the “cow-calf” system include beef breeds such
as Angus, Limousin, Charolaise, Salers, and Aubrac, or dual-purpose breeds like Simmental, as
well as local breeds like Buša. Crossbreeding serves as an effective tool for improving the
characteristics of individuals based on the heterosis effect, which enhances both productive and
reproductive performance. Additionally, other methods of evaluation and selection should be
applied to ensure more efficient management of the “cow-calf” system.
