Are rare breeds important for the conservation of genetic diversity? jeremycherfas.net
@jeremycherfas Interesting. Not what I expected. Preservation for adding to the gene pools may still be valuable?
@odd Not if you create a large enough population, maybe 1000-10,000, from existing breeds. You would have captured all the genetic diversity.
@jeremycherfas Ah, yes, I see. I was thinking more in case of dwindling diversity further along, but then it might not matter anyway.
