The objective of this study was to provide an analysis of main livestock species and breeds in Slovakia. Cattle, sheep, goat, pig and horse breeds were analysed in detail. The breeds were evaluated with respect to the extent of endangerment (number of breeding females) and conservation programmes involved. The origin of breeds was also taken into account. Within respective species, twenty-three local breeds, including native or indigenous, and twenty-nine imported or exotic breeds were identified. Out of local breeds, fifteen breeds were classified as endangered.
