Indigenous animal breeds, such as Buša, Istrian cattle, Istrian donkey, Zagorje turkey, and Slavonian black pig, represent a valuable part of Croatia's cultural and biological diversity. The protection of indigenous breeds and their products is achieved through various mechanisms, including Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indications (PGI). These designations guarantee the quality and authenticity of the products and contribute to the preservation of local agricultural heritage. For example, Istrian cattle contributes to the production of high-quality Istrian beef, which carries the PGI label. Zagorje turkey, also with a PGI label, represents a delicacy traditionally prepared in the Zagorje region. The Slavonian black pig, known for its excellent meat, is used in the production of various meat products. In Croatia, special attention is given to the conservation of these indigenous animal breeds and products to preserve biological diversity, promote sustainable agriculture, and celebrate cultural heritage. Through PDO and PGI labels, indigenous animals and their products receive recognition and support, contributing to the preservation of these valuable resources in Croatia.
