UK National Livestock Biobank
Farm animal biobank for UK food & breed security
Welcome to
The UK National Livestock Biobank
The UK National Livestock Biobank is a farm animal gene bank, established to ensure UK livestock breed and herd preservation, and national food security.
Based upon skin sample cryopreservation, we aim to be the equivalent of the Millenium seed bank and other seed stores and repositories. But for our crucial livestock sector.
We Exist Because Our Livestock Breeds and Food Security Are At Risk
75% of the world’s food comes from just
12 plants and 5 animal species
Our World Is Changing
Climate changes pose new and significant threats to agriculture and to our farming livestock, including a heightened risk of disease outbreaks.
