- Abstract
The present work aims to review the most important aspects regard to genomic characterization of Pinzgau cattle breed. In Romania, this cattle breed is part of the country's genetic and cultural heritage and faces the impact of bottleneck and the lack of diversity due to a significant decline in population. Natural populations' genetic structure is influenced by a limited gene flow that occurs when the geographic distances between them increase. In our country, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) maintained the status of 'endangered-maintained' cattle breed in 2000 considered to be threatened with extinction. This paper wants to highlight the fact that the conservation of this breed is a national priority and also, reviews the most relevant information in the literature on the genetic diversity of this cattle breed.
