Announcement of a new publication in the library catalogue: Local Cattle Breeds in Europe

The book 'Local Cattle Breeds in Europe : developments policies and strategies for self-sustaining breeds' is now available in the library catalogue.

Which policies and strategies are required to successfully maintain our European Farm Animal Genetic Resources? The European local cattle populations were a target in the EURECA project, co-funded by the European Commission (EU AGRI GENRES 870/04). The general aim was to better understand the state of the breeds, to identify factors that contribute to their success or failure, and to recommend decision-making tools for development of ambitious and sound strategies and policies. With this publication “Local cattle breeds in Europe: Development of policies and strategies for self-sustaining breeds” we share the methodology and give a comprehensive view on the local cattle breeds in Europe.

The Pdf of the publication can be downloaded and printed from the following websites: http://www.regionalcattlebreeds.eu , http://www.cgn.wur.nl/UK/CGN+General+Information/Publications/2010/ and the E-depot of Wageningen UR Library

Hardcopies of the EURECA publication can be ordered from Wageningen Academic Publishers (www.wageningenacademic.com/cattlebreeds)
