Objective

Detailed assessment of cattle breed cases

WP1 will carry out a detailed assessment of 15 cattle breed cases in 9 countries in different sub regions of Europe. The evolution of the role of local cattle breeds in European agriculture during the last 2-3 decades will be analysed and critical factors that play a key role in determining presence of absence of breed self-sustainability will be identified. Possible elements, exploitable for achieving breed self-sustainability and a restricted set of parameters for surveying conditions for local breeds self-sustainability will be identified.
