Abstract
Merino of Cluj breed, formed in the period of time 1957 – 1988 into Agronomic Institute Doctor Petru Groza with the help of a staff led by distinct professor dr. eng. Augustin Pop, puts together in its own genetic fond, genes of two Romanian breeds, Transylvanian Merino breed on paternal line and Turcana breed white variety, Sibiu county ecotype on maternal line, being rolled as a breed belonging to mixed morpho-productive type fine wool – meat – milk. After year 1989, breed knows, keeping step with Romanian ovine culture, an increased regress of stocks, present days being in genetic preservation, but also a line up to European production orientations so that we are speaking now about a mixed breed, and production proportion being of 61.70 % meat, 30.10 % milk and 8.20 % wool and leathers, from total value of productions obtained.
