The functioning of the cryobank and the in situ transboundary facility of the indigenous breeds of cattle of the Carpathians is an important contribution to science and practice
Abstract
Climatic conditions and human activity negatively affect the number of native species and mountain meadow ecosystems of the Carpathian region countries due to their scale and unprecedented speed of development. The article describes the main specific features and advantages of local breeds. Their multifunctionality is indicated. The results of the study of the distribution are presented, the current state is revealed, limited numbers, threats of extinction are identified. Attention is drawn to their participation in the restoration of anthropogenically disturbed meadow ecosystems, an important sector for the preservation of genetic biodiversity. Attention is focused on and the feasibility of creating the Carpathian Scientific and Production Centre at the Research Institute of Animal Science, Balice, Poland is scientifically substantiated.
