Rare Breeds

Rare breeds are breeds of animals, such as livestock or poultry, that are maintained in limited numbers and are not commonly found. They often have unique characteristics, traditional traits, or historical significance that differentiate them from more common breeds. Because they are less popular, they are at greater risk of becoming extinct if not actively preserved. Conservation efforts aim to protect these breeds to maintain genetic diversity, cultural heritage, and resilience in farming systems. In essence, rare breeds are special, less common animals valued for their distinctive qualities and historical importance.
