Summary

The origin, history and development of the Racka breed is described. This oldest of Central-European sheep breed dominated the Hungarian scene from the early 14th century to the late 1800s. To day not more than 4000 sheep exist. The author describes the live statistics and production data of the breed as well a some recent immunogenetic research results and conservation information.

Resume

On décrit l'origine, l'histoire et le développement de la race Racka. Cette race ovine, la plus ancienne de l'Europe Centrale, a dominé la scène hongroise du début du 14ème siècle jusque vers la fin du 19 ème. Actuellement, il n'en restent pas plus de 4000 exemplaires. L'auteur tout en indiquant les statistiques concernant les animaux vivants et les données de production de cette race, présente des informations sur la conservation de celle-ci ainsi que les résultats d'une recherche récente dans le domaine immunogénétique.
