The genetic basis of the current poultry sector is very thin. Majority of the genetic resources are under threat in Developed Countries. The biodiversity of poultry breeding depends mostly on the traditional poultry production of Developing Countries and the protection and improvement of alternative poultry breeding systems and the gene conservation programmes these countries manage. However, new paradigms - alternatives - are needed in the development of poultry breeding.
