Abstract
More than 80% of sheep flocks in Hungary belong to the breed Hungarian Merino (Nagy et al., 2011). The first animals were imported to the country in 1770s. This breed is bred for dual purpose, its meat and wool are the products for the market, but meat production is more significant and profitable. In the breeding programmmes the focus is on increasing prolificacy and lamb rearing ability, while in case of wool production the better quality is the aim.
