<p><em>Animal genetic resources</em></p>
<p>The analysis of country reports to FAO provided by 128 countries in 2014 for the preparation of &#x2018;The Second Report on the State of the World&#x2019;s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture&#x2019; provided a first baseline with regard to the number of national breed populations where sufficient material is stored. However, currently genetic material is cryo-conserved for only a very low proportion (less than 10 percent), whereas the quantity of stored material is sufficient for population reconstitution for an even smaller percentage of local breeds.</p>
<p><strong>Time series:</strong></p>
<p>DAD-IS data are available since 2000.</p>
<p><strong>Disaggregation:</strong></p>
<p>For both plant and animal components geographic disaggregation (national, regional, global) is made. Grouping by sex, age etc. is not applicable.</p>

<p><strong>Time series:</strong></p>

<p><strong>Disaggregation:</strong></p>
<p>For both plant and animal components geographic disaggregation (national, regional, global) is made. Grouping by sex, age etc. is not applicable.</p>

<p>For the animal component the indicator is calculated as the number of local breeds and transboundary breeds with enough genetic material stored within genebank collections allowing to reconstitute the breed in case of extinction (based on the Guidelines on Cryoconservation of animal genetic resources, FAO, 2012, <a href="http://www.fao.org/docrep/016/i3017e/i3017e00.htm">http://www.fao.org/docrep/016/i3017e/i3017e00.htm</a>). Numbers for local and transboundary breeds are presented separately. To decide whether the material stored is sufficient on regional or global levels the numbers provided to DAD-IS for each type of material (e.g. semen samples, embryos, somatic cells) conserved within the framework of a cryconservation programme, as well as the number of the respective male and female donor animals, must be summed across the countries belonging to the respective region of interest.</p>

<p>Number of local breeds and number of transboundary breeds</p>

<p><strong>Definition:</strong></p>
<p>The conservation of plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture (GRFA) in medium- or long-term conservation facilities (<em>ex situ</em>, in genebanks) represents the most trusted means of conserving genetic resources worldwide. Plant and animal GRFA conserved in these facilities can be easily used in breeding programmes as well, even directly on-farm.</p>
<p>The measure of trends in <em>ex situ</em> conserved materials provides an overall assessment of the extent to which we are managing to maintain and/or increase the total genetic diversity available for future use and thus protected from any permanent loss of genetic diversity which may occur in the natural habitat, i.e. <em>in situ</em>, or on-farm.</p>
<p>The two components of the indicator 2.5.1, plant (a) and animal (b) GRFA, are separately counted.</p>
<p><em>Animal genetic resources</em> </p>
<p>The animal component is calculated as the number of local (i.e. being reported to exist only in one country) and transboundary (i.e. being reported to exist in more than one country) breeds with material stored within a genebank collection with an amount of genetic material which is required to reconstitute the breed in case of extinction (further information on &#x201C;sufficient material stored to reconstitute a breed&#x201D; can be found in the Guidelines on Cryoconservation of Animal Genetic Resources, FAO, 2012, accessible at <a href="http://www.fao.org/docrep/016/i3017e/i3017e00.htm">http://www.fao.org/docrep/016/i3017e/i3017e00.htm</a>). The guidelines have been endorsed by the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture at its Thirteenth Regular Session (http://www.fao.org/docrep/meeting/024/mc192e.pdf).</p>
<p><strong>Concepts:</strong></p>
<p><em>Animal genetic resources</em></p>
<p>Breed: A breed is either a sub-specific group of domestic livestock with definable and identifiable external characteristics that enable it to be separated by visual appraisal from other similarly defined groups within the same species, or a group for which geographical and/or cultural separation from phenotypically similar groups has led to acceptance of its separate identity. </p>
<p>Medium- or long-term conservation facilities: Biological diversity is often conserved <em>ex situ</em>, outside its natural habitat, in facilities called genebanks. In the case of domestic animal diversity, <em>ex situ</em> conservation includes both the maintenance of live animals (<em>in vivo</em>) and cryoconservation. </p>
<p>Cryoconservation is the collection and deep-freezing of semen, ova, embryos or tissues for potential future use in breeding or regenerating animals.</p>
