2.1.6 GLOBAL REGIONS – BREEDS AT RISK

This section partitions breeds at risk by six global regions as defined byFAO. Although breeds may be subdivided on the basis of their origin,environment, biology or other considerations, FAO defined regions are usedto assist genetic resource management activities for domestic animals whichis being coordinated by FAO’s Global Programme for the Management ofFarm Animal Genetic Resources as requested by the Organizations’sMember Governments.

A short introduction to each region is given, listing component countriesand human population size, and giving a brief description of some of thefactors that have contributed to the development of domestic animaldiversity in the region.

Each regional introduction is followed by a breed description list, detailinginformation on critical (C) and endangered (D) breeds in the region, asdefined in section 1.6. Note that the critical-maintained and endangered-maintained avian breeds are excluded. Within these description lists breedsare sorted by country, by order and/or species-group (see Table 1.3.1), byrisk status (critical followed by critical-maintained, endangered andendangered-maintained) and finally in alphabetical order of the name. Ifvarieties, especially poultry varieties differ only in the colour they are listedunder the breed. For each breed the total population size, list of names orsynonyms, population size trend and range of uses are highlighted (whenavailable). This is followed by a brief description of the breed indicatingorigins, current location and other base line information.

In many cases information required is not available or was not provided andvalidated prior to preparation of WWL-DAD:2. Consequently, these sectionsof the descriptions read “Not available” (see Annex 2.1 for how to assist inovercoming such information deficiencies).

EUROPE

The European region includes 44 countries and 2 dependent territories(see list in Table 2.1.6.9) of varied political, religious and culturalbackgrounds. Geographically, Cyprus, Israel and Turkey fall within

Near East. However FAO includes them in its European region and they willbe considered as such here. The former Union of Soviet Socialist Republicsare considered partly under Europe and partly under Near East. Included inthe European region are the three Baltic Republics (Estonia, Latvia andLithuania), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Moldova and the RussianFederation.

Europe is the second smallest continent - Australasia being the smallest - yetit is one of the most important and influential in world affairs. In 1994 thetotal human population size of the region was 802 million of which only10.8 percent were directly involved in agriculture. The proportion involvedin agriculture has decreased significantly from 16.8 percent in 1975,principally due to increased urbanization and to the mechanization offarming systems. Urbanization and industrialization tend to conceal the highlevels of agricultural production and the importance of this sector to manyof the region’s economies.

Geographically, the continent is quite complex and despite its small sizepresents a wide variety of land-forms ranging from the highland regions ofthe Alps to the lowland plains of the Netherlands. Whereas the northernregion beyond the Urals rises towards the Pacific Ocean in three giganticsteps - the lowlands of western Siberia, the highlands of Central Siberia andthe mountainous ranges towards Far East. Vast areas of the north of theRussian Federation are too cold for farming, other areas are too dry, tooswampy or infertile. The former USSR countries are also host to a large rangeof climates, from the very hot deserts in south-central Asia to the arcticregions of Siberia. Consequently many of agro-ecological zones haveemerged requiring a large range of livestock breeds each adapted to copewith the challenges of a different environment.

A large portion of the region’s land is suitable for agriculture, especially inthe north where the moist cool climate is conducive to the growth of richpastures. These can support a high density of livestock and consequently alarge portion of the livestock industry is concentrated here. For example, inIreland there are almost two cows for every human, whereas in Portugalthere are almost eight humans for every cow. Politically, the region may besubdivided into East and West, the countries in the West having adoptedfree-market economies whereas those in the East have, until recently,embraced a more socialist ideology and are currently under transition. Thesemarkedly different philosophies have had a significant effect on the region’sagricultural sector. The economies of Western Europe have directedagricultural policy either through the provision of subsidies or throughmarket forces, whereas those in Eastern Europe, with the exception ofPoland, have developed the concept of socialized farming. In thesecountries the livestock industry is dominated by large state farms where thecentral theme has been standardization rather than diversification.

With the exception of the horse, most major livestock species were firstdomesticated in the Near East region. From this centre of domestication, thespread of animals north to Europe was facilitated by military conquests andthe movements of nomadic tribes. Early archaeological finds (circa 7 000 BC)show the presence of cattle, sheep and goats in the Balkans and Macedonia,

from where they spread north to cover the rest of Europe. The horse wasfirst domesticated in Eastern Europe during the Neolithic period and unlikeother species was primarily used for draught. The replacement of the ox bythe horse as a draught animal enabled more specialized breeding of cattleand accelerated the process of intensification.

Reindeer are first thought to have been domesticated in the Altai area ofSiberia (this theory is still controversial) where they acted as a source oftransport and meat for local peoples. Bactrian camels, now found mainly inMongolia, were first husbanded in southern Turkmenistan and Iran. Theyare believed to have first operated the ancient silk route from China throughCentral Asia and northern Iran to Baghdad. Reindeer are included in Part 3of this WWL-DAD:2.

During the Middle Ages animals of each country tended to be typical of thatregion. Local varieties were selected for specific colour types, productivityand environmental influences. These animals, although not highlyproductive were quite well adapted to local conditions. However thedemands of the growing urban population and later, of the industrialrevolution, necessitated an increase in milk and meat production and hencemore organized breeding programmes. This was facilitated by theimprovement of roads and increased communications and led to thehybridization of many local varieties to give rise to modern breeds.

Today there are a number of infectious diseases which affect Europeanlivestock populations. They include hog cholera, brucellosis, Newcastledisease, mastitis and rabies. Although these may cause chronic decreases inproductivity or even death, they generally do not effect breeding policy tothe same extent as in developing regions.

Other factors such as sociology and economics have played a much greaterrole in shaping contemporary European breeds. The greater emphasis puton the productivity of animals has led to increased specialization for traitssuch as milk, meat, wool, etc. For example, the growing demand for carpetsand luxury items led to the specialization of a range of sheep breeds, fromcoarse to fine wool types. In many cases local breeds have been mixed withintroduced breeds to produce the desired phenotypes. This process ofhybridization has continued unabated and has resulted in increased relianceon a small number of breeds to meet the region’s food requirements. Forexample, the concentration on the Holstein both in the East and West hasdramatically narrowed the genetic base of dairy cattle populations.

Consumer trends, such as the desire to eat leaner meat or the demand forspecialized milk products, also affect breeding policy and breeds that meetthese requirements tend to be favoured. In some cases, sophisticatedmanagement systems have standardized the environment giving littleattention to traits such as disease resistance, adaptability to climate, etc. Thepoultry and pig industries are a good example of this. The White Leghornbreed now accounts for practically all of the commercial hybrid layers ofwhite eggs whereas commercial piggeries have tended to rely more andmore on a handful of breeds such as Large White, Duroc and Landrace.

A large number of European breeds are now under threat of extinctionbecause of their perceived lack of economic competitiveness. Ancientbreeds have only survived in marginal areas where conditions areunfavourable for intensification and views on breeding and the economyare more conservative. For example, the North Ronaldsay sheep breed,found in the Orkney islands off the coast of Scotland, survives on mossesand seaweed found along the seashore. Winter storms throw great amountsof seaweed onto the beaches and consequently this is one of the few breedsthat actually fattens during the winter period.

In Eastern Europe the situation is especially critical as there are few activeconservation programmes in place. Under the previous socialist ideologylarge farms were developed in order to standardize production. Indigenousbreeds, often highly adapted to local conditions, were upgraded with asmall number of highly specialized exotic breeds, thus considerablynarrowing the genetic base. The current uncertain political climate in theregion will accelerate the loss of many breeds, the former Yugoslavia beingan extreme example. Many valuable breeds such as the highly prolificOlkusksz or Wrzosowka sheep breeds from Poland may become extinct ifimmediate action is not taken.

State-owned farms developed new breeds by the crossing of internationallyrecognized breeds with indigenous animals in an attempt improveproductivity. This led to the formation of breeds such as the Black Piedcattle or the Ukrainian Spotted Steppe and Russian Black Pied pigs, nowquite popular in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Manyother local populations, such as the Mingrelian, Mezen and Pechora horsebreeds were driven close to extinction by the extensive crossbreedingprogrammes.Changing consumer tastes may require a greater range ofproducts from livestock species in the future. The Racka sheep breed inHungary is noted for its tasty meat and could prove valuable. The Jerseybreed of cow, once prized for its creamy milk is now confined to fewer andfewer farms. In the north of Italy the Reggina and Bianca Valpadana breedsare highly suited to the production of Parmesan cheese because of the highconcentration of the B-allele of k-Casein in their milk. However, these

Pa

rt

150


breeds are under threat of extinction as their levels of milk production arenot as high as that of the Holsteins’. Some local breeds of sheep appear tobe resistant to diseases such as scrapie and piroplasmosis and could proveuseful if these diseases were to become widespread.

The need to maintain these breeds is clear. For example, vast areas of theCIS are suitable for extensive husbandry only and many of the specializedhigh-production breeds are ill-equipped for the limited feed resources andclimatic conditions found in these areas. Breeds such as Yakut cattle foundin northern Siberia can sustain winter temperatures as low as -60°C underpoor nutritional conditions, detrimental to most other livestock. Yetextensive crossing with Simmental has almost resulted in the extinction ofthis breed. Furthermore, recent changes in consumer requirements haveresulted in a dramatic reduction in the numbers of lard and semi-lard pigs(over 20 breeds lost), whereas the increased use of mechanized transporthas caused a decline in horse and ass numbers.

Throughout the CIS a few state farms have been used to maintain purebreeding stock of some of the region’s indigenous livestock. However, giventhe current political and economic climate, as it is not quite clear how thesewill be maintained in the future. Finally, it should be emphasized that dueto the current difficulty in obtaining accurate census data in all thesecountries in transition, the status of much of the region’s animal geneticresources is unknown and a number of the breeds currently thought to existmay already be extinct.

Relative to its size, Europe is home to a large proportion of the world’sdomestic animal diversity - over a quarter of the world’s cattle, sheep, pigsand horses (Table 2.1.6.10). This reflects both the early interest in breeddevelopment, specialization for particular products and the more advancedinventory and description of breeds in Europe. Recently there has beengreater enthusiasm to maintain rare breeds and a number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have been set up to try and documenttheir plight. Unfortunately such associations are operating on the peripheryand have not been able to gain the attention of the public at large. Activitiessuch as those carried out by these societies need to gain more impetus ifmuch more of the region’s domestic animal diversity is to survive (seesection 2.2 on Extinct Breeds).

Apart from the major livestock breeds, Europe is home to a number of minorspecies. These include a number of deer species such as reindeer, Sika deerand Marals in the Russian Federation, as well as carnivore species,husbanded for their fur, e.g. silver fox, blue fox, sable, and martin in thenorthern parts. Part 3 of WWL-DAD:2 includes descriptions of the deerspecies.

ANNEX 2.2 NATIONAL COORDINATORS FOR FAO’S GLOBAL ANGR PROGRAMME

The Global Framework for FAO’s new Programme for the Management ofFarm Animal Genetic Resources (known hereafter as the Global AnGRProgramme) incorporates a country-based structure of National Focal Points;acknowledging the key role countries have in managing these resources.This role is also highlighted by the Convention on Biological Diversity, theintergovernmental treaty which clearly recognizes national sovereignty overcountries’ genetic resources. It is also accepted that the national communitiesand their representative governments have responsibility for the datadescribing their national resources.

Accordingly, FAO is proceeding to invite governments of countries withineach region, on a sequential regional basis, to nominate a National TechnicalFocal Point and, within this institution, a Coordinator, to serve as the directtechnical contact for FAO’s Global AnGR Programme. These National FocalPoints have the responsibility for implementing and maintaining an in-country network associated with the Global AnGR Programme at the countrylevel. Many of the Informal Country Contacts (see Annex 2.3) who havecontributed over the years providing information on breeds, willundoubtedly form part of this in-country network which connects thecountry to the Global AnGR Programme. Each of these Informal CountryContacts have been informed in respect to any changes regarding thisnetwork.

At this early stage in the Global AnGR Programme, identification of NationalFocal Points has just begun, but already 50 countries throughout Europe andAsia and the Pacific have nominated Focal Points; and the NationalCoordinators concerned have actively taken on the additionalresponsibilities. All technical exchanges between FAO and these countriesregarding the Global AnGR Programme are now conducted through NationalFocal Points. For countries and regions where FAO has not yet invitedgovernments to establish Focal Points direct contact with the InformalCountry Contacts will continue.

To facilitate activities, all national parties dealing with technical mattersconcerning the management of animal genetic resources should endeavourto inform and involve these National Coordinators for the AnGR Programme.The National Coordinators established to date are:

ANNEX 2.3 LIST OF INFORMAL COUNTRY CONTACTSINVOLVED IN THE BREEDS SURVEY

To introduce FAO’s new Global Programme for the Management of FarmAnimal Genetic Resources and to harmonize with the Convention onBiological Diversity, particularly its recognition of countries’ sovereigntyover genetic resources, FAO is establishing National Technical Focal Points,and Coordinators, to serve as the contact point for FAO on all mattersassociated with the Global AnGR Programme. The National Coordinatorsestablished to date are listed in Annex 2.2.

In countries and regions where FAO has not yet invited governments toidentify their National Focal Points for the Global Programme, FAO willcontinue to work with the Informal Country Contacts, particularly forupdating the global breed surveys. Undoubtedly, Informal Country Contactslisted in this Annex 2.3 will help the National Coordinators establish aneffective network for better managing the animal genetic resources withintheir country.

The cooperation and dedication of each Informal Contact who hascontributed information to the Global Databank is gratefully acknowledged.Without their willingness to complete the questionnaires and to answer theinevitable follow-up questions, the Databank and WWL-DAD:2 would nothave been possible.

Following is a list of all countries represented in the Global Breed Survey.Countries are listed alphabetically within region. Overseas Departments ordependent overseas territories are listed in the respective geographic region.Where available, contact names and addresses are given. “No contact” aftera country name indicates that no data has been received directly from thiscountry. For such countries contact with interested persons willing toprovide data would be appreciated (see Annex 2.1).

The following abbreviations are used to distinguish provision of informationfrom each of the three survey groups.

ICM = informal contact for 8 mammalian speciesICC = informal contact for camelidaeICA = informal contact for avian species
