BIHAR ANIMAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, PATNA, BIHAR Bihar Veterinary College, Patna Introduction to Conservation Speaker: Ramesh Kumar Singh Assistant Professor cum Jr. Scientist Division of Animal Genetics and Breeding Bihar Veterinary College, Patna
Conservation Conservation includes preservation along with up gradation of the genetic potential and management of a breed for use in future. It covers both continued maintenance of genetic variability, improvement and sustainable utilization by exploiting the genetic variability. It is also defined as the management of the biosphere of human use for benefits in present time together with maintaining its potentiality to meet the future needs.
Preservation Preservation covers the continued maintenance of genetic variability. It is required when population reaches an endangered level or on the verge of extinction. Preservation and Multiplication is required for animals having unique traits or exceptional genetic merit.
Causes of loss of genetic diversity Systems breed dilution (a) Upgrading (b) Cross breeding Geographical reorganization Purpose based farming system Economic viability Modern Agriculture practices Other factors
Objectives of conservation Genetic insurance Economic potential in a particular environment Environmental considerations Scientific study Energy source
Methods of conservations In-situ conservation Ex-situ conservation (a) In vivo method (b) In vitro method
