GENE BANK SERVING
CATTLE INDUSTRY
The Canadian Gene Resource Bank
for Cattle Breeds, a project of Joywind
Farm Rare Breeds Conservancy Inc., is
now officially open.
The donation of a 7,000 -dose semen
storage tank (liquid nitrogen cryo -flask)
by Westem Ontario Breeders, along
with some Dexter and Galloway semen,
was important in bringing the project to
fruition.
Eastern Breeders of Kemptville and
Belleville have also become involved
with the donation of liquid nitrogen
refill services for the tank as well as
semen of the Guernsey breed.
The resource bank recently called
for tax deductible donations; each $10
puts one dose of semen into the bank's
storage facility.
The Joywind Farm Rare Breeds
Conservancy is a federally incorporated
charitable organization dedicated to the
conservation, evaluation, and study of
rare and minor breeds of farm animals.
"Many of the rare and minor breeds
are known for their abilities to forage on
poor land, for their low cholesterol and
fat levels, their ease of parturition, their
mothering abilities, or their resistance to
disease," the conservancy says. "In
future, these traits may become of com-
mercial importance to our animal breed-
ers—butonly if they are still available."
The Canadian Gene Resource Bank
represents a long-term safeguard from
the loss of genetic diversity within the
cattle industry.
