CORPENICUS PROSJEKT

BIOTECHNICAL METHODS IN THE MAINTENANCE OF THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE LIPIZZAN HORSE BREED

The aim of the project:

To present a scientifically based description of the phenotypic and genetic structure of Lipizzan horse breed
To recommend how to use the results of the prosject in everyday practice of breeders

Detailed scientific goals:

To describe the gene structure of the breed using:

DNA markers
blood groups
polymorphic systems
morphologic paremeters
measurements, photo's etc.
pedigree data (analysis of inbreeding)
health status
performance parameters (reproduction incl.)

The participants:

Scientific parners:

Veterinärmedizinische Universität Wien, Institut für Tierzucht und Genetik.
University of Veterinary Science Budapest, Department of Animal Husbandry.
University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Zootechnical Department, Veterinary Faculty.
Veterinärmedizinische Universität Bern, Institut für Tierzucht
LIF.

Organization and disseminator:

Traditional Lipizzan Studs:

Djakovo
Lipica
Monterodonto
Piber
Simbata de Jos
Silvasverad
Topolcianky

The reason for EU protection:

The Lipizzan breed is a Paneuropian breed
The part of the heritage of the continent
The scientific merits of the project
The support of the Country Goverments

The role of LIF in the accomplishment of the project

Clelection of pedigree data (lines and families)
Description the detailed history of the breed
Publishing
Dissemination the results
Organization of sampling

The expected practical output of the project:

To describe the breed on scientific basis and to elaborate goal breed standards.
To establishe a system for avoiding inbreeding
To establish a multimedia studbook system
Publishing the results
To demonstrate the genetic independence of the breed.

Foreløpig er det 9 stutterier som har medvirket til prosjektet, med i alt 586 hester.

Djakovo (64)
Lipica (69)
Monterodonto (63)
Piber (87)
Simbata de Jos (90)
Silvasverad (77)
Topolcianky (42)
Spanske rideskole (66)
Beclean (28)

Desuten ingår 66 kladruber hester i prosjektet, på stutterier Kladrub og Slatina. Dr. Merkens er bekymret at hestene i forsøket utgjør rasens avlsbasis.   Nå skal alle private rase foreningen sender sin informasjon til Dr.Merkens. Dette gjelder avlshopper brukt i avl 97/98.
