“Canada cannot afford to be complacent with regard to its animal genetic resources. Erosion of variability has already been extreme in poultry. Rapid change is occurring in the genetics of dairy cattle. There are conservation concerns about beef cattle and other domestic species. There is an urgent need for Canadians to undertake conservation action as both short – and long term insurance against changing needs.” Dr. R.D. Crawford, Department of Animal and Poultry Science, University of Saskatchewan
Canada ne peut pas se permettre de rester indifférent à ses ressources génétiques animales. L’érosion de la variabilité est déjà extrême dans le cas des volailles. La génétique des vaches laitières subit des changements rapides. Il y a des préoccupations en matière de la conservation des bovins de boucherie et d’autres espèces domestiques. Il est urgent de prendre des mesures de conservation pour répondre aux besoins changeants à court et à long terme.
