La conservación de las razas de ruminantes domésticos en Francia

Abstract

From 1977 onwards, the Ministry of Agriculture has made credits available for the conservation of ruminant races and for a national framework of programs. However, the situation is not the same for all the species. In the case of bovines, systematical work has been carried out. This has been more parceling for ovines and even more so with recentlyextinguished caprine races. When there has been a technical presence adapted to the field and the possibility of accomplishing indispensable investments (as in the case of artificial insemination in the case of the bovines) we observe that the money made available to animals and cattle raisers has not stopped increasing over the last twenty years. Such measures are a preliminary of appraisement actions.
