Sažetak
International project between Slovenia and Croatia was started with the aim of the BLUP implementation in Croatia pig breeding program. Croatian Livestock Center (CLC) did not have necessary software and experience to implement BLUP. Large pig units have locally installed computers and organize data collection and evaluation (selection index) according to the regulations and standards of breeding program. They keep their own local databases and run data analysis for management support and production control. Data from the small farms are recorded by CLC regional oces. Data is transferred to the central database (CLC) regularly by electronic media. For the beginning, data from 10 nucleus farms were imported in to information system PiggyBank runing in Slovenia. Additionally, we have prepared programs for data input, procedures for implementing a unique lifetime number for animal, output of pedigree certicates, reports for fertility and programs for preparing data and pedigree information for genetic evaluation. Extension service, temporary located at the Biotechnical Faculty, performs regular genetic evaluation and ranking of breeding and replacement animals based on eld test and litter size data. In addition, it provides comparative analyses of sow and boar fertility. Quarterly, reports are sent back to farms. Next step will be import of data from family farms in PiggyBank and moving the extensions service to CLC.
