GENETIC DIVERSITY AND GENETIC EROSION IN THE BREEDS OF FARM ANIMALS
Keywords:
Genetic diversity, Genetic erosion, Farm animal genetic resources (AnGR)Abstract
Looking at the many different studies and the results by own investigations the authors analyze the
importance of genetic diversity for existence and support of farm animal breeds. According to authors,
to safe the breeds it is necessary to keep optimal size of the populations. It is analyzed the negative role
of some genetic factors (inbreeding, genetic drive, including of an exotic plasma and others), which
lead to the genetic erosion and lose of whole breeds. The authors show the necessity from keeping and
saving of genetic resources in animal breeding which is very important to keep genetic diversity. On the
other side it is shown the possibility to support a composition of unique genes, which are very important
for the breeding and for a construction of new genotypes and trance-genes animals with very important
biological and productive traits.
