Gloucester cattle at risk of dying out, warns charity

Gloucester cattle at risk of dying out, warns charity >More in © Albanpix/Shutterstock Urgent action must be taken to prevent Gloucester cattle, the oldest breed of British dairy cow, from becoming extinct, according to the Rare Breed Survival Trust (RBST), which notes that herd numbers have halved, from 54 in 2006 to 27 last year. The RBST’s annual watchlist, which monitors native breeds in the UK, shows there remains a significant number of priority breeds under threat, with trends of very low populations as well as lack of genetic diversity. The watchlist categorises breeds as “priority” or “at risk”, highlighting those breeds of most concern due to increased inbreeding and falling numbers of breeding females.

2021 RBST Watchlist: 75 of the UK s rarest breeds listed as high priority

Image source: Gloucester Cattle Society A total of 75 native UK livestock and poultry breeds – including the cattle breed behind the world’s first vaccine – have been identified as ‘high priority’ lines on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust’s new watchlist. The RBST works across the UK to save and safeguard the future of rare and native livestock and equine breeds, and its watchlist is the annual situation report for these breeds. The methodology behind the list has also been updated this year to give a more encompassing view of each breed’s outlook, reflecting measures of the genetic diversity within each breed – rather than simply counting the number of breeding females registered, as was previously used.
