In order to be able to undertake actions for conservation of endangered breeds, monitoring of the actual state of populations has to be in place. This paper provides a short look on the actual state of animal genetic resources in Slovak Republic and its change over the time. The data for regular updating of EFABIS information system were used in the study. Results showed different trends in different species. In cattle there was decrease in dairy breeds, while increasing trend was observed in Slovak Spotted cattle and beef breeds. In the sheep rapid decrease in population size of traditional breeds was observed. In goat population sizes of traditional breeds increased. The numbers of animals of pig, horse, poultry and rabbit breeds were more- less stabilized. In many cases the preference of farmer for the single breed and his passion is the only reason for keeping the animals. In this regard the raising awareness is a very important part of animal genetic resources conservation. Keywords: biodiversity, animal genetic resources, conservation, local breeds Introduction Biodiversity for food and agriculture is indispensable to food security, sustainable development and the supply of many vital ecosystem services (FAO, 2019). The animal genetic resources are generally defined as subset of biodiversity, which are used or may be used, for the production of food and agriculture. Within the animal genetic resources, the biggest attention is given to local breeds. The importance of the local breeds lies in their adaptability to local environmental conditions. In many cases this is especially applicable to harsh environment of remote regions. It is also expected to use their adaptability in changing climate conditions. From production point of view, these breeds present possibilities to produce animal products with reasonable inputs (feeding, veterinary, welfare). Moreover, cultural and environmental roles of these breeds have to be taken into account as well. Despite these facts, the decreasing trends of local population sizes and numbers of these local breeds are present for several decades. GANDINI and OLDENBROEK (1999) reported that the main reason of rapid erosion of farm animal diversity is lack of economic profitability of local breeds. In many cases this is connected to other threats identified by FAO (2015) including indiscriminate cross-breeding and introduction and use of imported breeds. The development of number of livestock breeds and population sizes in Slovak Republic will be presented in this paper. 7 Material and methods The data on population sizes and purebred animals registered in herdbooks in years 2011 and 2018 were used. In case of poultry and rabbits, data on most important breeds (breeding animals from registered farmers) were used. These data are part of the animal genetic resources monitoring in Slovak Republic, which is performed in cooperation with the Breeding Services of the Slovak Republic, s.e. and authorized breeders` organizations of respective breeds. These data are used for regular updating of EFABIS/DAD-IS information system (TOMKA et al., 2013). Results The monitoring of animal genetic resources in Slovak Republic covers not only the endangered breeds, but also other main breeds of livestock. The number of breeds published in EFABIS, and number of breeds monitored in year 2011 and 2018 are presented in Table 1. Numbers of breeds published in the EFABIS and monitored breeds differ slightly. This difference is due to publishing of only well-established breeds, e.i. breeds with at least 3 farmers registered and number of animals is higher than 100. The trend of importing new breeds can be seen especially in sheep and goat. On the other hand number of poultry breeds is decreasing. Trends in these species can be explained not only by economic driven decisions of farmers. Many cases show that the decision is based on emotions and “fashion trends”. This fact is especially applicable to breeds with very small population sizes and limited breeding animals. As a result of these decisions we witness fluctuating trend in number of breeds but also in size of populations. Table 1.
