exportation of the horses to coal mines in britain combined with modernization of the agriculture on the faroe islands, resulted in a breed that nearly went extinct. by the 1960s, there were less than ten horses of the breed left alive. a rescue operation was initiated, and suitable horses for breeding were used, however many of them were already related. all faroese horses alive today, are descendants of only four individual horses.

in 1978, the faroese horse association (felagið føroysk ross) was established to conserve the faroese indigenous horse breed and they have kept a studbook ever since. in 2018, the online pedigree registration system føroya fongur was created, in which online access is provided to the studbook with extensive information about the faroese horse breed.

by the end of 2023 there were 82 living faroese horses. the breed can thank their survival to the hard work and dedication from individual horse owners and enthusiast through the years, and through the work of the faroese horse association. you could say that the conservation of the faroese horse this far is a success story as the breed has managed to survive and increase in numbers over the years. however, there are still several big challenges and threats facing this small and hardy breed. there is a critical need to act today to secure that the breed will be around for future generations as well. the faroese horse is, after all, a living and breathing part of the faroese cultural heritage.

all nordic countries, including the faroe islands, have adopted the global plan of action for animal genetic resources (gpa) established by fao in 2007. this framework obligates all parties to contribute to the conservation, sustainable use and development of animal genetic resources. one of the main areas of concern expressed in the gpa, is that there is too little research and information about many of the native farm animal breeds. increased characterization, involving phenotypic, genetic, and historical information on breeds is needed (fao, 2007).

native livestock breeds are part of the history of the nordic people and comprise a resource for future food production. in this study, net gain and carcass characteristics of two danish, three finnish, one icelandic, six norwegian and five swedish native cattle breeds were retrieved and compared to commercial breeds: two beef breeds and two dairy breeds. breed data were collected from national databases and sorted into six animal categories: young bull, bull, steer, heifer, young cow and cow, for which means and standard deviations were calculated within each country. the native breeds ranged from small-sized milking type breeds with low net gain, carcass weights and europ classification to larger multipurpose breeds with high net gains, carcass weights and europ classification.
all finnish and most of the norwegian and swedish native breeds had lower net gain and carcass weight than the dairy breeds in the same category and country, but with similar carcass conformation and fatness scores. the two danish native breeds had higher net gain, carcass weight and conformation class than the reference dairy breed, but lower than the reference beef breeds. the net gain and carcass traits of the icelandic native breed were similar to the smallest-sized native breeds from the other countries. the carcass traits of the native breeds indicate that they have comparative advantages in an extensive production system based on forage and marginal grasslands. they may also succeed better in the value-added markets than in mainstream beef production. farm animals scientific article" id="carcass-characteristics-of-nordic-native-cattle-breeds" x-data="{ expanded: false }"> <article> <div class="text"> <p class="type">Scientific article</p> <p class="type"></p> <h2>Carcass characteristics of Nordic native cattle breeds</h2> <p x-show="expanded" x-collapse.min.88px>Therkildsen, M., Vestergaard, M., Kargo, M., Keto, L., Ertbjerg, P., Thorkelsson, G., Gudjónsdóttir, M., Kjetså, M., Honkatukia, M., Egelandsdal, B., Svartedal, N., Røe, M., Fikse, F.

The data management systems at NGB and NordGen are discussed by inputs from Dag Endresen (former IT leader at NGB, now at University of Oslo). We also have chapters on the collaboration with VIR and the Baltic States, the 100-years experiment on seed longevity in permafrost, and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
