In accordance with the requirements of the "Overall Plan for the National Census of Agricultural Germplasm Resources (2021-2023)", this implementation plan is specially formulated to organize and implement the third national census of livestock and poultry genetic resources.

1. Purpose and meaning

my country has carried out two national surveys of livestock and poultry genetic resources from 1979 to 1983 and from 2006 to 2009. Through this survey, we initially found out the status of livestock and poultry genetic resources in most areas of the country, and published the "Chronicle of Livestock and Poultry Breeds in China", which included 282 varieties. The second survey, based on a thorough investigation, identified the growth and decline of livestock and poultry genetic resources since 1979, and compiled and published the "China Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources", which included 747 livestock and poultry breeds. Based on the results of the second survey, the Ministry of Agriculture revised the "Protection List of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources" and determined that 159 local breeds were included in the list, and 21 more protected breeds were added. Due to various reasons such as work foundation, transportation conditions, human geography, etc., the first survey did not cover the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area of 5 provinces (autonomous regions) including Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, and Qinghai, some prefectures and counties in Xinjiang, and some remote areas. The survey also did not fully cover the above areas.

With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, climate and environmental changes, and changes in animal husbandry production methods, the number and regional distribution of livestock germplasm resource groups have changed greatly, and the risk of local breeds disappearing has intensified. Once they disappear, their excellent genes and The traditional farming culture it carries will also die out, and biodiversity will also be affected. At present, there is an urgent need to organize the third national census of livestock and poultry genetic resources to find out the status of livestock and poultry genetic resources, bees and silkworms, discover a batch of new resources, scientifically assess the rarity and endangered status of resources, implement effective protection, and prepare for the fight against The turnaround of the good seed industry has laid the foundation of germplasm resources.

2. Main objectives

It will take three years to find out the number of livestock and poultry genetic resources, scientifically evaluate changes in their characteristics and production performance, discover and identify a batch of new resources, protect precious, rare and endangered resources, and realize that all should be harvested and all should be protected. Save. Achieve the following goals year by year.

In 2021, the third national census of livestock and poultry genetic resources will be launched in an all-round way, and the basic situation census of livestock and poultry genetic resources will be completed (a general survey); the national livestock and poultry genetic resources database will be put into use; 5 projects including Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, and Qinghai will be completed. A key survey of livestock and poultry genetic resources in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region of the province (autonomous region) and some prefectures and counties in Xinjiang was conducted, and a batch of new resources were identified and released; 50,000 new genetic materials were preserved in the national gene bank; and the 2021 version of the national livestock and poultry genetic resource breed list was released.

In 2022, complete on-site inspections of livestock and poultry varieties that have undergone significant changes in quantity; complete performance measurement and characteristic investigation of existing genetic resources and newly discovered resources; identify and release a batch of new resources; improve the standards for endangered species, and collect and protect a batch of precious and rare species For endangered resources, 50,000 new genetic materials have been preserved in the national gene bank, and 150,000 genetic materials have been produced and preserved by each province (autonomous region, municipality directly under the Central Government). Released the 2022 version of the national livestock and poultry genetic resource breed list.

In 2023, all census tasks will be completed, and the data from the third national census of livestock and poultry genetic resources will be stored in the national livestock and poultry genetic resources database; 50,000 new genetic materials will be preserved in the national gene bank, and 20 genetic materials will be produced and preserved by each province (autonomous region and municipality). 10,000 copies; release the report on the status of national livestock and poultry genetic resources and the 2023 version of the national livestock and poultry genetic resource breed list.
