In vivo conservation encompasses a range of actions that can be taken to
ensure the survival of livestock breeds or populations that are threatened
with extinction. These guidelines address both “in situ” conservation
(supporting the continued use of threatened breeds in the livestock
production systems where they have traditionally been raised) and “ex
situ” conservation (maintenance of populations at sites such as
conservation farms and zoos). As well as providing a wealth of information
on breeding strategies for small at-risk populations, the guidelines
provide advice on how to develop an effective and well-targeted national
conservation strategy.
