Guidance: Lists of recognised animal breeding organisations

This is a list of recognised breed societies for bovine, ovine, porcine and caprine species. The list of recognised equine breed organisations is also available.

EU zootechnical legislation supports intra-Community trade in purebred breeding cattle, sheep and goats, pigs and hybrid pigs, and equines, and their genetic material.
