Sulle tracce delle Podoliche – On the Tracks of Grey Podolic cattle Introduction • autochthonous cattle breeds in Croatia • number of animals drastically declined → systematic upgrading • 1998. – 138 animals; 2008 – 460 animals • institutional measures (subsidies, promotions), established association (AZRRI), economic reaffirmations(brand “beef” production)
Sulle tracce delle Podoliche – On the Tracks of Grey Podolic cattle • Aim • analyze of pedigree and genetic variability within Istrian Cattle → shaping breeding programmes and preserving strategies
Sulle tracce delle Podoliche – On the Tracks of Grey Podolic cattle Geographical location of Istrian Cattle populations Material & Methods • Pedigree information • data 2 151 (1994 – 2008.) • ENDOG v4.5 program • Blood samples • 51 unrelated animals • Fstat v2.9.3, GenePop 3.4., Bottleneck v1.2.02 program • 30 microsatellites belong to the panel of the MoDAD marker sets recommended by FAO
Sulle tracce delle Podoliche – On the Tracks of Grey Podolic cattle Results Generation interval and number of herds contributing sires (HS), grand-sires (HSS), great-grandsires (HSSS) in Istrian cattle.
Number of alleles (MNA), observed and expected heterozygosity (Ho, HE), polymorphism information content (PIC), fixation coefficient (FIS) at 30 microsatellites.

Sulle tracce delle Podoliche – On the Tracks of Grey Podolic cattle Estimates of average inbreeding and the average relatedness in Istrian cattle
Sulle tracce delle Podoliche – On the Tracks of Grey Podolic cattle • absence of bottleneck using Wilcoxon test (TPM)
Sulle tracce delle Podoliche – On the Tracks of Grey Podolic cattle Conclusions • Istrian cattle → did preserve part of genetic diversity • presence of inbreeding, with absence of bottleneck • unsystematic pedigree data → DNA testing • still endangered breed → • continuous monitoring of population parameters, • adjusting breeding program • preserving Istrian cattle breeds have to have high national and international priority
