Investigations on merging breeds in genetic conservation schemes.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Jun 2008

Bennewitz J, Simianer H, Meuwissen T H E

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity within livestock species is threatened by extinction of breeds and by genetic drift; the need to conserve genetic diversity by conservation schemes is widely accepted. To maintain the between-breed diversity, breeds are usually kept separately in live conservation schemes. However, in some cases it might be very difficult or even impossible to conserve a highly endangered breed in a closed...
