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

There were 11,116 mammalian national breed populations in DAD-IS as of February 2016, and 3,799 avian national breed populations.[3] These national breed populations represent a global total of 8,822 breeds, which includes 643 breeds (7%) that are reported to be extinct.[3] local breeds (only found in one region) make up 7,761 of entries, while 1,061 are transboundary breeds, meaning they are found in more than one region.

Risk Status

A total of 17% (about 1,500) of all DAD-IS breeds are classified as being at risk of extinction, though this figure includes those that are already extinct but were entered into the database before disappearing. A further 58% are classified as being of unknown risk status. As of 2016, these risk statuses have not been updated since 2014.[3]
