Sažetak
The research on indicators of reproduction efficiency of brown hares in cage breeding in Croatia was conducted from 2001-2004. There were 107 pairs included in the research during their first reproductive season. Hare farms were located in two different climatic areas: farm Volavje (continental Croatia) and Valtura-Vodnjan (Istria &#8211; Mediterranean Croatia). On average there were 24.70 to 25.37 % non-productive pairs per year. Considerably larger number of litters per pair was achieved in Valtura-Vodnjan farms (5 litters compared to 4.6 in Volavje farm, p<0.05). The number of leverets per pair was 11.27 (Volavje) and 11.34 (Valtura-Vodnjan). The average litter size ranged from 2.41 (Volavje) to 2.59 leverets (Valtura-Vodnjan). Season had a significant influence on litter size in both farms (p<0.01). There was no significant difference in the number of weaned hares per litter in both farms (1.61-1.68). Total leveret mortality in average ranged from 36.59 to 37.83 % depending on the locality. Most of deaths occurred before weaning.
