- Abstract
Animal genetic resources are important biological resources. Their effective conservation and sustainable development and utilization is not only to meet the consumer's diverse needs, but also the basis for the development of modern animal husbandry. At present, there are still some difficulties in the development and utilization of domestic animal genetic resources in China, such as inadequate government investment, unsound incentive mechanism, insufficient efforts for research and development and extension from enterprises and scientific research institutions, separation between protection and development or utilization, etc. It is necessary to perfect relevant policies, improve the mechanism, innovate science and technology, and establish a virtuous cycle, in which protection and development/utilization are in mutual promotion, so as to further propel the development and utilization of local genetic resources of livestock and poultry, and to meet the higher requirement of the people for more varieties and better quality of animal products, and to constantly enhance the endogenous power for developing animal husbandry in China. This paper summarized the status of protection and utilization on local livestock and poultry genetic resources in China, and analyzed some problems and difficulties existed, and put forward the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.
