Breeding of Black Slavonian pigs on family farm

Abstract

Crna slavonska svinja hrvatska je autohtona pasmina svinja, nastala u drugoj polovici 19. stoljeća, na području Osječko-baranjske županije. Ova pasmina svinja je do prve polovice 20. stoljeća bila najznačajnija pasmina u Hrvatskoj, ali je tada potisnuta iz uzgoja od strane suvremenih mesnatih pasmina i visokoproizvodnih hibrida, zbog svojih nižih proizvodnih osobina. Unatoč tome, u zadnjih 10 godina broj uzgajivača ove pasmine se povećao, a počelo ju se i valorizirati kroz proizvodnju tradicijskih suhomesnatih proizvoda. Suhomesnati proizvodi od ove pasmine su dobre kakvoće i mogu osigurati konkurentnost proizvođaču na tržištu te dobru dohodovnost. Obiteljsko poljoprivredno gospodarstvo Marić iz Bilja, koje se bavi uzgojem crnih slavonskih svinja i njihovom preradom u tradicijske suhomesnate proizvode, primjer takve dobre prakse.Breeding Black Slavonian pig is an autochthonous breed of pigs formed in the second half of the19th century in the area of Osijek-Baranja county. This breed has been the most significant breed in Croatia until the first half of the 20th century. Because of its lower production properties in the first half of the 20th century, the breed was suppressed from cultivation by modern breeds and high-performance hybrids. Nevertheless, in the last ten years, the number of breeders of this breed has increased and it began to be valorized through the production of dried meat products. The dried meat products of this breed are good quality and can ensure competitiveness for the manufacturer. Marić family farm from Bilje that breeds Black Slavonian pigs and convert them into dried meat products are examples of good practice
