Sažetak
Highly informative genetic markers are essential for efficient management in populations of domestic animals (i.e. individual identification, establishing genetic variability and structure, parentage verification, etc.) and for food traceability. During the last decade, microsatellites were the most used marker system, although replaced graduadly in the last few decades by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The aim of the paper was to compare the degree of information provided by microsatellites with those gained by SNPs for native Croatian cattle breeds. Both markers system have been proven as a useful tool for determination of genetic variability in Istrian cattle and Slavonian Syrmian Podolian cattle. The application of both marker systems is advantageous in simultaneously addressing a variety of questions related to breeding and selection. However, decission which method should be used depends on the purpose and objective of the research and available equipment. The chosen method should be, above all, practical and user-friendly.
