Sažetak
The ICAR Board based on interest of Breeding Organizations (BO) agreed to include Abstract performance recording and genetic evaluation of Equus genus into its programs. The ICAR Equid Ad Hoc Advisory Committee (Equid AC) was proposed by ICAR with the objectives to evaluate the benefits that ICAR can provide in the fields of performance recording and genetic evaluation to current ICAR members and other equids’ organisations. The priorities for the Equid AC are to establish a list of worldwide contacts involved in Equid recording and genetic evaluation and to liaise with ICAR governing and technical bodies to identify the range of activities that ICAR could potentially offer to support recording and genetic evaluation of equids. In order to achieve these objectives, a Survey to equid stakeholders have been proposed to determine the scope of current and potential future activities that could be supported by ICAR in the future. The Survey has been carried out by the means of a questionnaire including basic information and specific questions. The emphasis has been placed on future activities, namely parentage verification based on SNP markers. Members of Equid BO have been invited to fulfil the questionnaire through online application developed for this purpose available at the following link: https://rodica.bf.uni- lj.si/EquidAC. The Survey response is in ongoing phase and so far 33 breeding organizations have responded. A total of 149, 334 animals were included in the breeding work of these organisations, comprising approximately 58, 997 broodmares and 5, 472 stallions. The results are encouraging and show the great interest in harmonization under ICAR umbrella for almost all traits. To evaluate feedback from Equid interests, a comprehensive report with recommendations will be prepared for consideration by the ICAR Board.
