FOREWORD This report has been developed on the basis of many contributions from the network of the European National Coordinators on Animal Genetic Resources and their colleagues and co-workers as a part of activities undertak- en within a framework of the European Regional Focal Point on Animal Genetic Resources. The SUBSIBREED project was initiated because of a common feeling that the current state of conservation programmes and support systems that are established within European countries should be documented and analysed, and lessons learnt shared among countries. In most European countries, farmers keeping in situ endangered local breed are supported directly by the state, or in the case of most of the 28 EU Member States, by agri-environmental programmes within National Rural Development Programmes. The level and scope of the support, the measures applied and the practical arrangement of their implementation differs substantailly among countries. The impacts of the subsidies pro- vided for in situ conservation on population size and structure of breeds covered by these measures also differs and needed to be examined. The project also aimed to analyse the basis for estimation of the level of support provided in each country, if the current measures were sufficient, and most of all, what the consequences might be if support systems were abolished in the future. In many countries, support provided for in-situ conservation has a relatively short history. Therefore, it was important to find out if breeds included in-situ conservation programmes were able to strengthen and further develop and what is needed to facilitate their sustainability in the longer term. Examination of the state and scope of the legal basis for in-situ conservation of animal genetic resources was also important in this analysis to enable reflection on the impacts of the existence and advancement of legal frameworks in supporting conservation measures. The native breeds, in addition to being a source of genetic diversity for livestock production, constitute a part of the national heritage and provide for local community identity. The long-term survival of native breeds is not only a matter of insurance for the future needs of agriculture development; there conservation is a matter of protecting and cherishing cultures and traditions and helping to sustain local communities. Native breeds should be considered as public goods and their long term conservation an obligation of the state. The SUBSIBREED project aimed to answer the question how we are doing in fulfiling our obligations in European countries, and what might be done to be more succesful and efficient in this respect in the future. Elżbieta Martyniuk 6 2. INTRODUCTION Livestock production has contributed to food security and economic development for thousands of years. Adaptation to wide range of environmental conditions and artificial selection has led to the development of numerous indigenous breeds that are part of the wealth of diversity in agriculture. They are producing a wide range of products for local and domestic consumption as well as for international trade. Livestock are for many local communities, invaluable sources of food and other products and essential sources of income. Maintaining the diversity of breeds in various species of domestic animals enables farmers and breeders to respond to ever changing consumer demands as well as changing production conditions, especially in light of climate change. No one can predict future demands and production conditions, and thus, maintaining the greatest diversity of animal genetic resources provides an insurance policy to enable necessary adaptation. Lack of appreciation for the need to maintain genetic diversity or inadequate farmer and breeder support pro- grammes has resulted in the rapid global erosion of local breeds. Greater effort is required to stem this erosion. 7 3. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT The project SUBSIBREED was proposed by prof. Drago Kompan, the national coordinator for Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR) of Slovenia within the Call for Action of the European Regional Focal Point for AnGR (ERFP) in 2008. The project was accepted for implementation and obtained financing from the ERFP. The objectives of the project were: • to review the legal framework for AnGR conservation • to review the national programmes and action plans for AnGR in the member countries • to identify national systems for defining breeds and assessing the endangerment level of autochthonous breeds • to provide an overview of subsidies and other support measures to enhance AnGR conservation provided at the national level • to analyze the impact of subsidies for in situ conservation on trends in population size of endangered breeds • to identify monitoring systems to evaluate the status and trends of AnGR • to analyse various approaches for implementation of subsidy systems • to better understand methodologies applied for calculation of subsidy level • to reflect on the current subsidy level for in situ conservation and

  • Analysis of Measurements of Latvian Warmblood and Latvian Heavy Warmblood Sires
    AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES (CROP SCIENCES, ANIMAL SCIENCES) DOI: 10.22616/rrd.24.2018.061 ANALYSIS OF MEASUREMENTS OF LATVIAN WARMBLOOD AND LATVIAN HEAVY WARMBLOOD SIRES Anna Veidemane, Daina Jonkus Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Latvia [email protected] Abstract The objective of the study was to analyze measurements of the sires used in Latvian Warmblood (LWB) and Latvian Heavy Warmblood (LHWB) breeding programs in the period 2003 – 2017, two major horse populations in Latvia included in one studbook. The Latvian Warmblood has an open studbook for breeding sport horses, whereas the Latvian Heavy Warmblood is a partly closed studbook. Measuring information for all sires with at least one foal born (n=834) in the respective time period was retrieved from the Latvian horse database, with 673 stallions measured at least once. The data consisted of direct measurements – height at withers, chest circumference and cannon bone circumference – and two calculated indices – massivity index and boniness index. Average values of adult stallions were analyzed in four groups – LWB, LHWB, ‘other warmbloods’ and refining breeds, with LWB and ‘other warmbloods’ showing similar average values. Sires were divided by use in breeding into 3-year periods to observe a possible change in the breeding objective and stallion choice, however, no significant differences were found in LWB or LHWB. Average measurements of stallions used in the LWB breeding program (different breeds) were 168.6 ± 4.3 cm for height at withers, 194.4 ± 6.6 cm for chest circumference, 21.8 ± 1.0 cm for cannon bone circumference, massivity index 115.5 ± 3.1, boniness index 13.0 ± 0.5.

    Riikka-Liisa Räbinä BENCHMARKING FINNISH AND IRISH EQUESTRIAN TOURISM Thesis Kajaani University of Applied Sciences School of Tourism Tourism Spring 2010 THESIS ABSTRACT School Degree Programme School of Tourism Tourism Author(s) Riikka-Liisa Räbinä Title Benchmarking Finnish and Irish Equestrian Tourism Optionalvaihtoehtiset Professional Studies Supervisor(s) Anneli Karppinen Commissioned by Date Total Number of Pages and Appendices Spring 2010 47 The purpose of this thesis was to benchmark Finnish and Irish equestrian tourism. One of the goals was also to examine the current status of equestrian tourism in Finland, as well as the use of the Finn- horse in equestrian tourism services. Improvement suggestions were created based on research about Irish equestrian tourism as well as the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse. There was no commissioner for the thesis. The topic arose from personal interest in equestrian tourism and the growing importance of the Finnhorse as part of the industry. The first part of the thesis comprises the theoretical background. It includes different aspects of eques- trian tourism in Finland and in Ireland. The current status of equestrian tourism in Finland and the safety guidelines created by the Finnish Consumer Agency are discussed in detail. The history, current status, and different usages of the Finnhorse are discussed. Also the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse as Irish horse breeds are elaborated. The second part is the empirical part. It gives suggestions for improving equestrian tourism in Finland and increasing the use of the Finnhorse in tourism related services. The suggestions are based on strat- egies and actions implemented by different organizations in Ireland.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

Brief description of the Iberian native cattle breeds sampled in our study The Barrosã cattle are one of the most emblematic of the Iberian Peninsula with their magnificent lyre‐shaped horns and short face. These cattle can be found grazing in the highlands of northwestern Portugal in a collectively managed herding system named ‘vezeira’. They are medium‐sized animals, with concave profile and brown‐blond coat colour. There is marked sexual dimorphism and the males are much darker particularly in the neck and have a characteristic dark ring around the eyes. The herdbook was established in 1985 and is managed by the breeders’ association AMIBA (http://www.amiba.pt). The certified protected designation of origin (PDO) meat ‘Carne Barrosã’ is highly valued due to the intramuscular fat content and large numbers of live Barrosã cattle were exported to England from Oporto in the mid‐19th century until 1920.
