Podolian cattle
Podolian cattle at marsh medow , Zasavica Podolian cattle are direct descendant from Bos primigenius bojanus Tur or Ur . Main characteristic for them are robust primitive constitution, good draft characteristic and poor meet and milch characteristic. They have prominent bone and bone protrusions. good height and depth but poor width of the body. Podolian cattle have specific shape of horns , Lira form, like old lira instrument. Podolian are raised at steep, Panonian steep and further. Italian have few breed who have podolian breed in origin , Croatians have Iskarsko govece, Bosnia have Gatacko govece breed whit some influence of podolian genes.
We in serbia use to have Kolubarac extinct breed whit good draft and milch caracteristic. It was descent from free crosing Busa and Podolian breed. Draft oxes, Cows and bulls from this breed are only survived cattle who cross Albania in I World War whit Serbian army, drafting howitzers, cannons, supply, crossing 1000 m hight mountains.
In Vojvodina plain part of serbia we have pure podolian catlle who is similar whit Ukrain Step breed (probably same breed ). Podolian calves are red colore at birth, during life they coat become gray and green color, during life heifers and yearling from dark colored hair in according whit years become whites.At young bulls that color change are

Zdravinjska pig
Zdravinjska pig
The formation of breed
This breed of pigs are raised in the villages near Krusevac, Serbia, on the north and northwest side mountain Jastrebac since the nineteenth century when consider that it was created. Breeding center was a village Zdravinje and villages around it, Petina, Dvorane, Poljaci, Lovci, Stanci, Rlica and other. According to its characteristics breed was between Šumadinka and Mangulitsa pigs and is considered to be created by breeding domestic pigs (Šumadinka), whit Hungarians, boars,, according to the author of book , Poznavanje Zdravinjskog svinjčeta''Eng. Bogoljub M. Simovic. Breeding are done by local merchants , they are bought boars mangulica after their successful sale of fattening pig in Austro-Hungarian, and brought them to their region and breed them. After mate and raised few generation, probably sometime in the late nineteenth century, the properties of the race has stabilized and as such the author described it in his work from the 1952g.
Zdravinjska pigs occurred at the time when people earned by exports of pigs in Hungary. Since the region was rich in acorn, fattening yearlings at acorns in autumn was carried out on oak and beech acorn. Average per farm is kept about 10 sows and 80 yearling fattening in the fall. Feeding of breeding animals during the year were scarce, summer pasture and winter pasture whit proceeded plum, with very little oats or white corn. Region was wooded, passive and less populated. The situation changes after the First World War when the number of animals of this breed decreases in general and at the farms, along with the reduction of forest areas. The pigs were left to natural selection and sometimes mated whit wild boar.
It is poorly written about this race, other than the Eng. Bogoljub Simovic is still mentioned in the list of races from Yugoslavia 1948g. The reason is: lower productivity, a gradual suppression of the better races, narrowly local distribution and others. In the region of where it occurred, this breed start to has competition (Moravka and Resavka breed). These two races were more productive than zdravinjska pigs and they suppressed it. However, these three races are suppressed in the second half of the twentieth century whit breeds of white pigs. Today in this region peoples grown only Pietrain and Pietrain crosses whit this imported white breed.
Breed description
This is a late, slow growing fat type pig breeds with a long head and a flat profile of the head, and has strongly, long and pigmented snout and the ears are large and drooping. The neck is narrow, medium length. The weak beam, when viewed from the front, one gets the impression that the animal is quite narrow. The hull is dense and compact build, top line is slightly convex. Rump higher than withers and rump quite downcast. The tail is long with a tuft on top . The legs are strong with the right attitude and the hooves are dark. Bristles coarse and long in the winter, at some animals can be curly and at the other animals can be strait or little curly .The hair color is dirty-white through greenish-gray-wild color to yellowish. In some animals appeared brown legs and lower parts of the belly, while the rest was gray-greenish. (They are recorded in photographs, no living individuals).
Piglets per farrowing are dirty white, greenish or yellowish color, which darkens after -turn to green, grey or red/yellow, they are with stripes that fade with age of 2months. Otherwise, in these pigs is the opposite process of color change then in Podolac cattle. (Heifers are in podolian greenish/grey an whit ages they change color in white.)
Some existing animal of zdravinjka, due to small populations and cross-related, have were black spots on legs, lower abdomen or in small numbers on the body. It is thought that perhaps an ancestor have mate whit resavka and they left their influence, or are these black spots legacy mangulice genes of a century ago. In the section engineer. B.M. Simovic was mentioned that the animals have one color, as it should be, but from what we has, we must save every animal in type right now in goal to save breed after this make selection of color and other. Besides black spots on the body of these animals has no differences either in construction or the basic color of the breed standard by Bogoljub Simic in his book
Individuals who are still there and are not measured, but the interesting fact that, although a small fertility from 4 to 10piglets per litter, this breed has a farrowing index of almost 2.2.
Number of animals
Race are preserved only the mountain village Rlica and on the verge of extinction. In recent years are expanded into four more villages but animals are descended from the same herd from Rlicea. Altogether there are about 10-15 adult breeding pigs and around 10-20 piglets, with a tendency to further reduction.
There are in villages Petina, Zdravinje, Rlica, Vukanja, Visevac.Race can be said is on the verge of extinction.
The goal of preserving
The purpose of preserving the breed could be found in its high resistance to poor breeding conditions, good utilization of acorns, pasture and feed in the forest. Area where the pigs originated are the mountain and the hills. Every day are more deserted and forested land on which it can bee fed.
Since the beginning of the development of rural tourism in this area could be included on the menu as a local breed along with kajmak(cream) and proja (corn bred from Osmak greened in river mil) here which products and serve as local dishes.
In the production of organic food this forgotten race could be important factor and manufacturer of organic meat and fat. This breeding conditions are created race that requires minimal investment and can easily be grown.
