Canadian Farm Animal Genetic Resources Conservation by E. E. Lister,S. K. Ho,Canadian Animal Germplasm Technical Experts Board Pdf

There is a concern in Canada about the narrowing genetic base of farm animal species, with the consequent need to consider the conservation of farm animal genetic resources as insurance for Canadian animal industries for the current and future changes in the environment, market demands, and selection goals. This document provides background on the need and importance of the conservation of farm animal genetic resources, and proposes concepts for a national system for conserving such resources. The document outlines international and national programs in germplasm conservation and presents discussion papers on issues related to conservation of farm animal genetic resources. These issues include the setting of conservation priorities, identifying at-risk populations, minimizing inbreeding, gene bank strategies, disease control for conservation, ownership and access of genetic resources, and research needs.

Proceedings of the National Workshop on a Canadian Germplasm Network, October 14-15, 1993, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada by Canada. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Research Branch Pdf

One aspect of Canada's Green Plan emphases conservation of plant, animal, and microbial genetic resources. The need for a collaborative approach to germplasm conservation and better use of all of Canada's resources in this area led to planning a national workshop whose proceedings are presented in this document. Topics of presentations provided in the document include overviews of germplasm conservation, biological diversity, national strategies, usability of genetic resources, clonal crops, farm animal germplasm conservation and use, intellectual property issues, international programs in germplasm conservation, germplasm conservation management systems, technologies for domestic animal germplasm conservation, live animal conservancy, and the Canadian Animal Germplasm Data Bank.

Innovations in cryoconservation of animal genetic resources by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,Boes, J,Boettcher, P,Honkatukia, M Pdf

The livestock sector faces a range of challenges, including climate change, emerging diseases, competition for natural resources and evolving demand for animal-source foods, which is increasing globally, especially in developing countries. Genetic diversity of livestock is a key resource for allowing livestock keepers to address these challenges, but this diversity has been in a state of decline. The diminishing genetic diversity thus represents yet another obstacle for sustainable livestock production. Cryoconservation (i.e. ex situ – in vitro conservation) of genetic resources through gene banking provides one of the most powerful tools governments and other stakeholders have to manage genetic diversity in both the short and long term and thereby provide future generations with the tools to meet the challenges ahead. Gene banking genetic resources fits within the context of the Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources, which was developed and adopted by FAO Member Nations. Specifically, Strategic Priority 9 of the Global Plan of Action is “Establish or strengthen ex situ conservation programmes” and Strategic Priority 11 urges countries to “Develop approaches and technical standards for conservation. To assist countries in the implementation the Global Plan of Action, FAO worked with experts from around the world to prepare technical guidelines. In 2012 FAO published FAO Guidelines on Cryoconservation of animal genetic resources.Gene banking is a long-term effort that needs to be viewed in terms of decades rather than years, as demonstrated by similar systems for agricultural crops. The responsibility for establishing such resources lies squarely within governments’ roles of providing public goods and food security. Gene banking of animal genetic resources is a technology-intense undertaking and the associated technologies are in a continual state of research and development. The livestock sector also continues to evolve rapidly. Since the development and release of the previous guidelines, numerous changes have taken place. Critical among these is a greater appreciation of the opportunities for actively utilizing cryopreserved material to enhance management of in vivo populations, rather than as simply an “insurance policy” to protect breeds against extinction.This key development has led to further changes in gene bank management. First, interaction with users of the stored material has increased. This in turn has created a need to involve stakeholders more closely in the management of genetic collections and to better monitor and document the processes of gene banking to ensure quality management.
