breed reported in geographic location Galician Blond (Cattle) Rubia Gallega, Spain (Cattle) https://www.fao.org/dad-is indigenous breed, Bos taurus primigenius: Since 1969 when the latest breed standard was established and 1975 when actions were strengthened and the Spanish Ministry for Agriculture, Fishing and Food subrogated the preparation of the Genealogical Book to the National Association of Selected Cattle Breeders dedicated to this breed of cattle (ACRUGA), Rubia Gallega cattle have been mainly selected for meat production. During this time, a phenotypical selection pressure has been applied on strong inheritable characteristics in order to establish a greater format, to increase the growth rate, to a better conversion rate. The result was very satisfactory and the market of pure breed reproducers and industrial reproducers was created. This programme is mainly based on AI. and cow and bull assessment. Each test is made in accordance with the protocol for capacity control and genetic value determination, in relation to Resolution 94/515/EEC. The concept of “breed reported in geographic location by FAO National Coordinators” is unique to DAD-IS (https://www.fao.org/dad-is/en/). This VBO term should therefore be used specifically for the breed conforming to this concept. VBO:0002882 Rubia Galega Rubia Gallega domestic breed Sabrina Toro
