Hrvatska šarena koza je autohtona pasmina koja je nastala i uzgaja se na području hrvatskoga krša. Uglavnom je namijenjena za proizvodnju mesa, ponajviše visokokvalitetnih jarećih trupova. S obzirom da je reprodukcija osnova proizvodnje mesa, cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi određene reprodukcijske odlike hrvatske šarene koze (plodnost koza, veličinu legla, porodnu masu jaradi, omjer spolova) kao preduvjete učinkovitosti pasmine u proizvodnji mesa. Predmetno istraživanje obuhvaćalo je ukupno 407 koza i njihovu jarad iz četiri obiteljska poljoprivredna gospodarstva (OPG) koja se desetljećima bave ekstenzivnim kozarenjem i uzgojem jaradi. Istraživanjem je utvrđena prosječna plodnost koza, veličina legla, udio spolova i porodna masa jaradi te utjecaj sezone jarenja na istraživane pokazatelje. Od ukupno 407 koza obuhvaćenih ovim istraživanjem, 259 (63,63%) ojarilo je samce, 136 (33,42%) dvojke, dok je 12 koza (2,95%) ojarilo mrtvu jarad. Na temelju ukupnog broja koza i živo ojarene jaradi (n=530) utvrđena je prosječna plodnost hrvatske šarene koze od 130%. Od ukupno 545 ojarene jaradi, 259 (47,52%) su bili samci, 271 (49,72%) blizanac, a 15 (2,75%) jaradi je mrtvo rođeno. Ukupno je evidentirano 267 (50,38) ženske i 263 (49,62) muške jaradi. Istraživanjima nije utvrđen značajan utjecaj stada i sezone jarenja na prosječnu veličinu legla (P0,001) prosječnu porodnu masu (2,30 kg) od jaradi ojarene zimi (1,77 kg). Međutim, utvrđena je negativna fenotipska korelacija (r = -0,44) između veličine legla i porodne mase jaradi (P, Croatian Colored Goat is an autochthonous breed that originates and is bred on karst areas. This breed is largely bred for meat production, chiefly high-quality kid carcasses. According to the fact that reproduction is a basis of meat production, the aim of this research was to determine the reproductive characteristics of Croatian Colored Goat (prolificacy, litter size, sex ratio, birth weight) as preconditions of breed for meat production. This study involved totally 407 goats with their kids from four family farms, with long tradition of goat breeding in extensive conditions. Researched goats were raised in extensive conditions with the aim of meat production. From a total number (407) of investigated goats, 259 goats (63.63%) kidded the singles, 136 goats (33.42%) kidded the twins, while 12 goats (2.95%) kidded the stillborns. Determined average fertility of Croatian Colored Goat was 130 (computed from the total number of goats (n = 407) and number of live born kids (n = 530). Thus, among the total of 545 kids, 47.52% were singles and 49.72% were twins and 2.75% were stillborns. There were determined total 267 (50.38%) female and 263 (49.62%) male kids. There were no significant effects of family farm and season of kidding on litter size (>0.05). Kids kidded during the spring had a significantly higher (P
