Sažetak
Croatian cold-blooded indigenous horse breeds „Croatian cold-blooded horse“ and „Croatian Posavina horse“ constitute 63% of the total number of horses in Croatia. Great value of indigenous breeds lies in the centuries of their origin and development in the specific growing conditions. They represent the national genetic treasure, whose disappearance would undermine biodiversity. Disappearance or loss of indigenous breeds is present in particular in economically developed countries, including Croatia. Indigenous breeds by the definition of animal welfare - the ideal level of welfare state is the total physical and mental health of the animal in harmony with its environment ; should have the best ability to adapt to the environment in which they have evolved. In an attempt to prevent the loss of these breeds, Croatia launched a planned breeding programme of indigenous breeds of horses for meat. Because the primary purpose of these horses has been work, the "new" way of farming brings with it new problems in attitudes and care towards animals. Therefore, it becomes a necessity to ensure the breeding requirements with regard to animal welfare as well as to their standardization. Such an approach will primarily protect the animals, but will also give consumers confidence that horse meat was produced in accordance with the animal welfare principles.
