DAD-IS is the acronym of the worldwide Domestic Animal Diversity Information System of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, within the FAO's management of animal genetic resources programme.^[1] It includes a searchable database of information about breeds, the Global Databank for Animal Genetic Resources; it also holds tools for management, and contacts for the National and Regional Coordinators for the programme.^[1] Data from the Global Databank is used for reporting on the global status and trends of animal genetic resources. The fourth version of the DAD-IS was launched on 21 November 2017.^[2]

Breeds in the Global Databank

The data in DAD-IS pertain to 37 different mammalian and avian livestock species. There were 11,555 mammalian national breed populations in DAD-IS as of September 2022, and 3,758 avian national breed populations.^[3] These national breed populations represent a global total of 8,859 breeds, which includes 595 breeds (7%) that are reported to be extinct.^[3] Local breeds (only found in one region) make up 7,739 of entries, while 1,071 are transboundary breeds, meaning they are found in more than one region.

Data for populations of honey bees and other bees that are managed for food and agriculture were included in DAD-IS starting in 2020. As of April 2023, data from 59 national populations were available, representing 31 different species and subspecies.

Risk Status

FAO uses the information about population sizes to classify breeds according to risk of extinction.Risk classes are not at risk, vulnerable, endangered, critical and extinct, in order of increasing risk. Approximately 27% (about 2,350) of all DAD-IS breeds are currently classified as being at risk of extinction, although this figure includes those breeds that are already extinct. A further 48% are classified as being of unknown risk status. This percentage represents the breeds that have no reported population data during the past 10 years.^[3]

Figure 1: Total Number of Livestock Breeds by region. Local and regional transboundary breeds are combined and international transboundary breeds are ones that are found in more than 1 country. Note : Figures exclude extinct breeds. Figures for Alpaca, American bison, deer, dog, dromedary × Bactrian camel, guanaco, llama, vicuña, cassowary, Chilean tinamou, duck × Muscovy duck, emu, guinea fowl, ñandu, peacock, quail and swallow are combined in the “others” category.
