Long-term management of rare breeds is a complicated endeavour, and
strategies for success have been detailed in the first and second
edition of Managing Breeds for a Secure Future. For many the
challenge of knowing exactly what to do when very short-term
actions are needed to rescue a numerically small population of
animals remains. Such situations point to a need for a specific set
of recipes that can be followed in different situations in order to
assure successful outcomes. This new edition addresses that need.
Each rare breed rescue comes with its own array of specific
problems, but several general concepts run through all of them.
These concepts provide a good framework for breed rescue work. This
book relies on these concepts in order to help breeders chart a
course when confronted with a rare population (breed or bloodline)
that faces immediate threat of loss. Some of the updates to new
edition include: * Biological Issues * Population Analysis *
Pedigree-based Analyses * Managing a Genetic Defect * General
Rescue Principles Managing Breeds for a Secure Future Third Edition
is an expanded version of the second edition. It is re-organized to
flow better, and has additional chapters on specific breeding
protocols for maintaining breeds. It also delves more deeply into
rescuing rare populations, through both theory and practice.
