Sažetak
Because of the economic, scientific and cultural interest it is necessary to protect biological diversity of indigenous breeds of animals. In Croatia there are three original cattle breeds: Istrian cattle, Slavonsko- srijemski podolac breed and Busha breed. The aim of the research was to estimate the effective size of the populations and threats to the original cattle breeds, considering that the competent authorities of the Republic of Croatia had started certain programs for their protection. The research results have shown certain positive trends that are mostly expressed in the population of the Istrian cattle. During the last few years, certain negative trends in the populations of Slavonsko-srijemski podolac breed and Busha breed have been transformed into the mild positive population trends.
