  2. Introduction Ratification of the Convention on the Biodiversity wasconfirmed bytheSlovakRepublicin 1994, to protect biodiversity and guarantee sustainable use of its components includingalso animal genetic resources. Generally, the importance of animalgeneticresourceprotection,whichare realized using In situ and Ex situ preservation,includingnational gene banks (NGB), emerges from biological, economic, landscaping and cultural needs of each country.

  4. Endangered Breeds in the Slovak Republic Cattle breeds: Sheep breeds: Rabbit breeds: Slovak Pinzgau cattleWallachian sheep (Valaška) Zobor and Nitra rabbits Nitra rabbit Zobor rabbit

  5. Chicken breeds: Geese breeds: Bees: Oravka hen Slovak White goose Slovak carniolan honey Suchovy goose bee

  6. Slovak dairy sheep The population of SDS was recognized as a new breed in 2017 (Margetin et al., 2017). Milk production per year Slovak dairy sheep 182kg Improoved Valachian 100kg Walachian sheep 65kg From 1990s, the programme formation of new population of the Slovak Dairy sheep was started. Some flocks were involved into performance testing; the establishment of the breed was divided into two periods: first, crosses of local breeds (Improved Valachian, Tsigai and Merino) with improving breeds (Lacaune, East Friesian) of various proportions were formed; second, a close (inter se) breeding scheme within the crossbred population was applied. Parents of the next generation were chosen on the basis of breeding values for milk yield and litter size. At present, five thousands females Slovak Dairy sheep individuals are included in the performance testing;

  8. Strba gepard rex rabbit The Strba gepard rex was cultivated by breeders from the village of Strba and Letanovce in the North of Slovakia (High Tatras). The rabbit breed was recognized at the 2016 at the national competition in Nitra. The genotype is: AA bkbk CC DD gg Kk rexrex – black-yellow colour. Medium-sized breed, from 3.5 to 4.5 kg of the body weight. Alltoughter 13 rabbit breeds in Slovakia.

  9. Conclusion The situation with animal genetic resources in the Slovak Republic is not satisfactory, in some species an original, (native) autochthonous breeds completely disappeared. Moreover, two new animal breeds - Strba gepard rex (rabbit) and the Slovak dairy sheep at last two years were bred and recognized in Slovakia.
