Animal Genetic Resources - Applications and issuance
Breeding societies and individual breeders can request genetic material from the genebank.
We assess requests based on a number of issuance criteria (view the infographic down below). This includes assessing whether the request supports the conservation of a breed or is necessary to realise breeding goals. Requests are always discussed with the relevant breeding society and take into account any conditions posed by the original owner. For research requests, we assess the value of the project and make agreements on the availability of the data once the research has been completed.
