correct breeding

Since 2016 the Austrian Hungarian White Baroque Donkey is an officially approved donkey breed, the only one in Austria.

Every breed underlies certain regulations that can be found in the related breeding book as for example the formality about correct breeding. Correct breeding has to be planned foresighted and well. There are things to consider before the breeding animals are going to mate:

• Inbreeding is unwanted. Breeder can get a mating-recommendation for their animals. Contact person for this service is Karl Schardax, breeding coordinator: office@gesunde-erde.at or Katharina Tschann: tschann@schlosshof.at
• Mating of one-year-old animals is unwanted. Breeding maturity is reached with the age of 36 months. This implies that breeding is only allowed with animals that are 36 months old or older.

The keeper of the stallion has to fill in the necessary mating forms as mating register for the stallion and mating register for the mares (one for each mare). The forms are provided as pdfs, please use the following downloads:

The filled in registers should be saved and send to the breeding federation Stadl Paura: pferde-zv-ooe@lk-ooe.at

 This is also true for German donkey breeders, as the breeding federation Stadl Paura is the responsible department also for White Baroque Donkeys there. German breeders also get the microchips according to German standards from Stadl Paura.

• Report about foals is now possible to be done online, please us the following link: Service & Download - Zuchtverband Stadl-Paura

   

• In addition foals should be reported to Karl Schardax or Katharina Tschann per Mail including: name oft he foal, birth date, chipnumber, name oft he parents. Please mail to: office@gesunde-erde.at or tschann@schlosshof.at

Further important informations for correct breeding:

• linear evaluation: it would be ideal to only breed with allready linear evaluated animals. So it is checked that only healthy and animals that relate to the breeding standard will breed. Linear evaluation is possible at the earliest with the age of 36 months or older.
• From the age of 6 months on, having your foal chiped is mandatory. A microchip offers advantages as registration in the animal data bank (for example AnimalDataCom, www.animaldata.com) which makes it easier to find animals when data of the owner is known.
