Abstract

Ekološki pašni uzgoj stoke suočava se s povećanom potražnjom za mesom i mlijekom, uz što manje korištenje resursa. Mahunarke sudjeluju u sustavu tlo-biljka-životinja-atmosfera, a najproduktivnije su u travnjacima s udjelom 30 - 50%. Pozitivni učinci mahunarki su: smanjena ovisnost o fosilnim gorivima i industrijskim dušičnim gnojivima, smanjene emisije stakleničkih plinova u okoliš, smanjeni troškovi uzgoja, veća proizvodnost te povećana samodostatnost proteinima. Neke vrste mahunarki mogu se koristiti za poboljšanje zdravlja životinja, uz smanjeno korištenje lijekova, zbog sekundarnih metabolita. Iako imaju mnogo pozitivnih djelovanja, također imaju i ograničenja, zbog kojih su potrebna daljnja istraživanja kako bi se mogle bolje iskorištavati. Razvitak pašnih sustava temeljenih na mahunarkama predstavlja jedan od temelja za održiviji i konkurentniji uzgoj preživača te se može očekivati veća važnost mahunarki u budućnosti.

Abstract (english)

Organic pasture animal farming is facing increasing demands for meat and milk, along with using less natural resources. Forage legumes affect the soil-plant-animal-atmosphere system, and they are most productive in swards with 30 - 50% rate. Some beneficial effects of forage legumes are: decreased dependency of fossil fuels and industrial nitrogen fertilizers, decreased greenhouse gases emission, reduced farming expenses, better productivity and increased self-sufficiency of proteins. Some legume species improve animal health and reduce usage of medicaments, due to secondary plant metabolites. Although they have many positive traits, they also have some limitations and need further researches for better utilization. Development of pastures based on forage legumes represents a foundation for more sustainable and competitive ruminant farming, so it is expected that forage legumes will become more important in the future.
