Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se analizom plodnosti krmača i nazimica na obiteljskim gospodarstvima u Republici Hrvatskoj, s ciljem istraživanja utjecaja različitih čimbenika na broj živooprasene prasadi. U istraživanju su analizirani podaci prikupljeni u razdoblju od 2004. do 2024. godine, na obiteljskim gospodarstvima uključenima u hrvatski uzgojni program za svinje. Analizirani su utjecaji godine, sezone prasenja, genetipa krmače, rednog broja prasenja te vlasnika farme na reproduktivne rezultate. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da ovi čimbenici značajno utječu na broj živooprasene prasadi, pri čemu su genetip krmače i redni broj prasenja ključni za postizanje boljih rezultata. Sezonski faktori i specifičnosti upravljanja farmama također su se pokazali važnima. Na temelju ovih rezultata mogu se predložiti određene preporuke za unaprjeđenje proizvodnih praksi, s ciljem povećanja plodnosti i ekonomske isplativosti svinjogojske proizvodnje na obiteljskim gospodarstvima.

Abstract (english)

This thesis analyzes the fertility of sows and gilts on family farms in the Republic of Croatia, aiming to investigate the impact of various factors on the number of live-born piglets. The study examines data collected between 2004 and 2024 from farms included in the Croatian pig breeding program. Following effects were analyzed: year, farrowing season, sow genotype, parity, and farm owner on reproductive outcomes. The results show that these factors significantly affect the number of live-born piglets, with sow genetics and parity being key in achieving better results. Seasonal factors and farm management practices were also found to be important. Based on these findings, certain recommendations can be made to improve production practices, with the goal of increasing fertility and the economic viability of pig production on family farms.
