European livestock breed conservation assessed

A further addition to the mass of online information on livestock genetic resources around the world. It’s the final report of the SUBSIBREED project, providing and “Overview and assessment of support measures for endangered livestock breeds” in Europe. It was put together by the European Regional Focal Point for Animal Genetic Resources (ERFP), which is hosted by the Information and Coordination Centre for Biological Diversity (IBV) of the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE)
in Bonn, Germany. I suppose the information will eventually find its way into the relevant databases?

  1. I cant find any mention of Belgium in the report.

    It seems to go from Albania, Austria, Azerbaijan to Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia …, without mentioning Belgium.

    Yet the horse on the home page looks pretty much like a (Belgian) Brabançon.

    Anyone from this country care to comment?
