One of the objectives of this Ad Hoc Action was to identify the most relevant databases in the AnGR management, which are listed hereafter.
- DAD-IS (https://www.fao.org/dad-is) – Contains information on phenotype, history, breeding systems, organizations, populations, cryopreserved material for 15,115 national breed population from 182 countries and 37 species. Geographical location related information is under development.
- DAGRIS (https://dagris.info/) – Domestic Animal Genetic Resources Information System (DAGRIS) as a web-based electronic source of information on selected indigenous farm animal genetic resources (breeds/ecotypes of cattle, sheep, goats, chicken and pigs) with options to extend it further to cover geese, turkey and ducks.
- EUGENA (https://www.eugena-erfp.net) – EUGENA collects metadata about the collections of the member gene banks in Europe.
- IMAGE (https://www.image2020genebank.eu) – IMAGE integrates standardized gene banks/collections metadata with genomics data, geographical information systems and breeding and diversity database resources. Breed names have been derived from DAD-IS to which is connected.
- A-GRIN (https://www.ars-grin.gov) The Animal Germplasm Resources Information Network (A-GRIN) mission is to acquire, evaluate and preserve these strategic resources so that industry and the research community can have access to a broad array of genetic variability for: national security, introduction of genetic variation, corrective breeding, and various research initiatives.
- GGBN (http://data.ggbn.org) – The Global Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN) was formed in 2011 with the principal aim of making high-quality well-documented and vouchered collections that store DNA or tissue samples of biodiversity, discoverable for research through a networked community of biodiversity repositories. This is achieved through the GGBN Data Portal which links globally distributed databases and bridges the gap between biodiversity repositories, sequence databases and research results.
- VERTNET (http://portal.vertnet.org) – A suite of openly accessible software tools in order to collate a full set of trait descriptions and extract two key traits, body length and mass, from >18 million specimen records in VertNet
- SPECIFY (specifysoftware.org) – Specify 6 and 7 is a database platform for museum and herbarium research data. It manages species and specimen information for computerizing biological collections, tracking museum specimen transactions, linking images to specimen records and publishing catalog data to the Internet.
- LD4D (https://www.livestockdata.org/datasets – Livestock Data for Decisions (LD4D) is dedicated to improving the landscape of livestock data, animal health, economy, environment, populations and productivity
- EUALC – EU Agricultural – Livestock Census collects data per farm every 10 years
- Regional surveys in each country are performed per year including number of animals (per species, age categories etc) and presented per region, not per farm.
- TRACES (https://food.ec.europa.eu/animals/traces_en) – TRAde Control and Expert System monitors the movements of animals, animal products, food and feed of non-animal origin, germplasm and certain other commodities both within the EU and from non-EU countries.
- IACS (https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/common-agricultural-policy/financing-cap/assurance-and-audit/managing-payments_en) – computerized database for animals in EU countries where animal-based aid schemes apply
- VBO (https://github.com/monarch-initiative/vertebrate-breed-ontology) – The Vertebrate Breed Ontology initiative is an ontology created to serve as a single computable resource for vertebrate breed names.
- OMIA (https://www.omia.org/home) – Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA) is a catalogue/compendium of inherited disorders, other (single-locus) traits, and associated genes and variants in 352 animal species
- FCI (https://www.fci.be/en/) – Federation Cynologique Internationale contains some national population estimates for dog breeds.
- AnGRSI (genska-banka.si) -Webpage of Public Service of AnGR Slovenia contains data of ark farms as programme of ex situ in vivo conservation.
- CABI – The Animal Production Database (https://www.cabi.org/) is the most comprehensive source of information about animal breeding, animal nutrition, dairy science, and dairy technology. Containing over 40 years of research from over 75 countries.
- ADIS – Animal Disease Information System (ADIS) is designed to register and document the evolution of the situation of important infectious animal diseases as identified by the categorization process performed in the framework of the Animal Health Law (AHL).
- EU-FarmBook (https://eufarmbook.eu/) – The EU-FarmBook platform is being developed to bring together all of the tangible outputs of EU-funded research and innovation projects in one user-friendly platform to help get practical knowledge into the hands of the farmers, foresters and advisors across Europe.
- DATAR (https://www.datar-par.org/) – the Diversity Assessment Tool for Agrobiodiversity and Resilience is a web-interface assessment tool to assess information on crop, livestock, breeds and their functional traits present a farm and community level, assess constraints and propose potential actions and interventions to overcome those constraints.
