Abstract

ABSTRACT The Nordic countries are committed to conserving farm animal genetic diversity. National reports on phenotypic and genetic characterization point towards a lack of characterization for many Nordic native breeds. Little to no knowledge on the traits of the animals and their derived products leads to potential remaining untapped. The objective of this study was to provide a quantitative assessment of phenotypic and genetic characterization of Nordic native breeds, through a literature search and obtaining census data. Six species and a total of 85 breeds were included. Studies were classified according to six different categories of characterization. Results showed that a large percentage of the breeds are not characterized at all. Moreover, most breeds have extremely low census sizes. A substantial effort to increase population sizes and document characteristics of Nordic native breeds, to promote conservation and sustainable use, is needed.

北欧动物遗传资源鉴定的现状和需要

北欧国家致力于保护农场动物遗传多样性。关于表型和遗传特征的国家报告指出，许多北欧本土品种缺乏特征。对动物及其衍生产品的特性知之甚少，导致潜力尚未开发。本研究的目的是通过文献检索和获得人口普查数据，对北欧本土品种的表型和遗传特征进行定量评估。包括6种，共85个品种。研究根据六个不同的特征分类。结果表明，很大比例的品种根本没有特征。此外，大多数品种的人口普查规模极低。需要作出重大努力，增加种群规模，记录北欧本地品种的特点，促进保护和可持续利用。
