Introduced progeny testing and used inbreeding to fix certain characteristics in animals

Sir Robert Bakewell

Introduced keeping accurate rwcords of performance of animals so that objective selection became possible

Sir Robert Bakewell

A test of the value for selective breeding of an individual's genotype by looking the progeny produced by different matings

Progeny testing

A british agirculturist that developed the new Leicester sheep and used Longhorn cattle for improvement of beef

Sir Robert bakewell

Leicester sheep is originated from what breed?

Lincolnshire breed

A british genetecist that showed that the diversity of expression of a trait could depend on the involvement of a large number of so called genes

Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher

Founders of theoretical population Genetics

Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher, Sewall Wright, J.BS. Haldane

Connected the chromosome theory of inheritance to the works of mendel

Thomas hunt morgan

The modern father of animal breeding

Jay Laurence Lush

He based animal breeding not on phenotype but rather on quantitative characreristics and genetic information

Jay Laurence Lush

Developed the selection index theory and a method using least squares

Lanoy Nelson Hazel

Developed estimated breeding value and mixed model equations to obtain best linear unbiased predictions of breesing values

Charles Roy Henderson

Led to the development of many regional types

Genetic isolation by distance

The development of additional diversity as a result of adaptations to diverse environmenrs

Diversity enhancing gene flow

Aninals whose breeding and husbandry are controlled by human communities

Domestic animals/population

Represent either wild relatives of domesticated livestock that are 7sed for food and agri, or populations undergoing domestication

Wild populations

Animals considered to be feral if they or their ancestors were formerly domesticated

Feral populations

Breeds that occur only in one country

Local breeds

Breeds that occur in more than one country

Transboundary breeds

Transboundary breeds that only occur in one of the seven SoW-AnGR

Regional transboundary breeds

Transboundary breeds thar occur in more than One SoW-AnGR regions

International Transboundary breeds

Regions of SoW-AnGR

Africa, Asia, Europe n the Caucasus, Latin America n Caribbean, Near n Middle East, North America, Southwest pacific

Breeds that have been in the country for a sufficient time to be gemetically adapted to the traditional production systems or environment

Locally adapted breeds

Form a subset of locally adapted breeds

Indigenous, autochthonous or native breeds

Breeds that are not locally adapted, comprise both recently introduced breeds and continually imported breeds

Exotic breeds

Diversity in animal genetic resources popularions is measured in :

Interpopulation diversity, Intrapopulation diversity, inter-relationships between populations

1st step in breeding program

Defimition of production stystem

2nd step in BP

Definition of breeding goal

3rd step in bp

Collection of information

4th step in bp

Determining selection criteria

Indicates the value of the animal with respect to the breeding goal

Estimated breeding value

5th step in bp

Selection and mating

6th step in bp

Dissemination of genetic gain

7th step in bp

Evaluation

Is conservation through the maintenance of live animal populations

In vivo conservation

Is conservarion through continued use of live animal populations by livestock keepers in the production system in which the respective populations evolved or are now normally found and bred

In-situ conservation

Conservation throufh the maintenance of live animals under consitions and outside the area where they evolved

Ex sito in vivo conservation

Is conservation through the maintenance, under cryogenic donitions, of cells or tissues that have the potential to be used

Ex situ in vitro
