  • Title: [The native domestic animal breeds of Japan].
    Author: Sambraus HH.
    Journal: Tierarztl Prax; 1989; 17(3):237-43. PubMed ID: 2683212.
    Abstract:
    During the last decades some domestic animal breeds have spread to all parts of the world. In general, consideration is given to these breeds only; on the other hand, autochthonous breeds of various countries are hardly known. These, however, can be valuable gene-reserves, and moreover, they represent a significant cultural value. In Japan there are several domestic animal breeds which are almost unknown in Central Europe. They are presented verbally and by means of illustration, and their breeding history is dealt with as well. The purpose of this study is to point out the importance of these breeds within the country and to make clear the extent of the danger of their extinction.
