livestock conservation

Livestock conservation involves protecting and maintaining breeds of farm animals, like cattle, sheep, and goats, to preserve genetic diversity. This helps ensure resilient and adaptable livestock populations, supports sustainable farming, and maintains cultural heritage. Conservation methods include breeding programs, preserving seeds and embryos, and managing herds responsibly. Protecting rare and traditional breeds safeguards against the loss of unique traits, such as disease resistance or climate adaptability, which are vital for food security and ecological balance in changing environments.
