Welcome
to
Farm Animal Genetic Resources Portal
Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR) consist of a large number of breeds of
domesticated animal and poultry species such as cattle, buffalo, goat, sheep,
pig, horse, camel, poultry, etc. Due to loss of a number of breeds over time, conservation and sustainable use of
AnGR has become important and urgent. Conservation of genetic diversity
between and within domestic animal breeds is an insurance for the future animal agriculture in terms of
food production, disease resistance and adaptability to climate chamges. A
broad genetic base is crucial to deal with future changes in environment,
markets for animal products and animal production systems.
