Exterior and production traits of local pig breeds in EU

Lokalne pasmine svinja često su u malom broju populacije i ugrožene. Te pasmine nisu mnogo istraživane kako imaju slabija proizvodna i reproduktivna svojstva, te dugo vremena nisu bile interesantne istraživačima. Crna slavonska pasmina je jedna od pasmina koja je kroz zadnjih nekoliko godina ponovno prepoznata, ali zbog nepostojanja ranije utvrđenog Uzgojnog programa pasmina nije uniformna. U analizi utvrđene su mjere vanjštine crne slavonske pasmine koje su korištene za stvaranje Uzgojnog programa te su iste mjere uspoređivane sa dostupnim mjerama odabranih lokalnih pasmina Europske Unije. Dodatno, uspoređivana su i proizvodna i reproduktivna svojstva iz kojih je zaključeno kako crna slavonska svinja ne zaostaje mnogo za drugim pasminama i kako ima dosta potencijala za napredak. Jednako tako utvrđeno je da samo lasasta mangulica i baskijska svinja nešto zaostaju za drugima u pogledu proizvodnih svojstava, dok švapsko-halska selekcijom sve više proizvodnim svojstvima podsjeća na plemenite svinjeLocal pig breeds are often small in numbers and endangered. As these indigenous pig breeds have lower productive and reproductive performances, they haven’t been of interest to many researchers and therefore not many studies have been done. Black Slavonian breed is one of the breeds that have been rediscovered in recent years, but since the Breeding program hasn’t been earlier developed, the breed is not uniform. In the analysis the exterior measurements have been determined and used for developing a breeding program as well as comparing to available data from other local pig breeds of European Union. In addition to that, productive and reproductive performances have also been compared from which was determined that Black Slavonian pig breed doesn’t fall short behind other breeds and has a lot of room for improvement. It was also concluded that only Swallow-Belly Mangalitsa and Iberian pig have a bit lower productive traits and that Swabian-Hall pig has productive traits similar to those of white pigs
