Abstract:

Canada is one of the earliest nations to carry out the conservation of livestock and poultry genetic resources, and has a high level of conservation and utilization of these resources. Through systematic analysis of the current status of livestock and poultry genetic resources, gene bank construction, conservation subjects, and relevant laws and regulations in Canada, it was discovered that the high level of conservation and utilization of these resources were largely due to the established livestock and poultry pedigree registration systems, animal heritage resource information systems, advanced livestock and poultry resource preservation technology, and sound legal systems. By comparing the relevant practices and systems in China, five rationalization suggestions were proposed, including establishing pedigree registration systems and optimizing the preservation technology of livestock and poultry resources, in hoping to provide useful references for improving the conservation and utilization level of livestock and poultry genetic resources in China.

Key words: Canada, livestock and poultry genetic resource, conservation, development and utilization
