    3. Us European Forum of Farm Animal Breeders Farmers’ cooperatives and companies Cattle, pigs, poultry, farmed fish

    4. Farm Animal Genetic Resources Domestication > thousands years Farm animals part of animal populations (breeds, lines) Overlapping no clear distinction between breeds, even with new gene technology Within breed wide genetic variety 50% between / 50% within breeds

    5. Local vs Widely Used Breeds Local / traditional breeds Local culture Traditional knowledge minor influence on innovation Quality schemes: breed specific high priced products Jamon iberico (pigs, Spain) Poulet de Bresse (poultry, France) Formaggio di Razza Bruna (cattle, Italy) Sometimes regional across countries Not much exchange of AnGR* Widely used breeds Place of origin ??? (Holstein Frisian NL,GE ???) Extensive data recording: performance, pedigree Breeding programmes run by Farmers’ co-operatives International companies Very active exchange and trade of breeding animals *Animal Genetic Resources

    6. What is Animal Breeding ?

    7. Food Availability

    8. Sustainable Animal Breeding Sustainability in farm animal breeding and reproduction “The extent to which animal breeding and reproduction, as managed by professional organisations, contribute to maintenance and good care of animal genetic resources for future generations” * Where can breeding make a difference for sustainability: Food safety Product quality Genetic diversity Production efficiency Environment Welfare & health animal and human populations *SEFABAR (Sustainable Farm Animal Breeding and Reproduction, 2000-2003)

    9. Sustainable Animal Breeding

    10. Access and Benefit Sharing

    14. Trade and Flow of AnGR Local breeds = Widely used breeds Exchange daily practice of dissemination There are legal systems in place AnGR trade ? harmonised principles Harmonised certificates trade breeding animals, semen, embryos detailed information on origin + genetic values Linked to health certificates ? safe gene flow Research exchange Classical scientific cooperation contracts Each party keeps property of its input Sharing scientific results + publications + possible IP

    16. Summary Animals part of populations ABS based systems – contracts Animals privately owned Good working legal systems of exchanges in place Gene flows N?N and N?S Product flows S?N AnGR development Public education, data recording Knowledge large ? diversity Development Quality schemes
