Genetic and reproductive technologies and animal genetic resources
As part of its Background Study Paper series, the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture has just published "The state of development of biotechnologies as they relate to the management of animal genetic resources and their potential application in developing countries" by K. Boa-Amponsem and G. Minozzi. The paper reviews literature, particularly that published after 1999, on the current state of development of genetic and reproductive technologies, and evaluates their potential impact on the utilization and conservation of locally adapted animal genetic resources for the sustainable intensification of production systems.
