This book is the first detailed report of the Hannover Animal Genetic Data Bank of the European Associa-tion for Animal Production (EAAP). It covers 877 breeds of the major farm animal species in 37 European countries. For each breed approximately 60 items of information are presented in a structured form. Cross-references to different chapters and a guide for users make the infor-mation easily accessible. The four main objectives of this publication are:

- to present a register of breeds of five European species: cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and horses;
- to define the status of endangeredness of breeds in five classes;
- to form groups of similar breeds;
- to present in a condensed form most of the information needed in order to decide whether a particular endangered breed should be conserved, and whether this can be done in cooperation with other breeds.
