Conservation of endangered cattle germplasm resources: Technological integration and paradigm shift

Large animals worldwide, particularly endangered cattle species, faced multiple threats including habitat loss, population fragmentation, and genetic diversity erosion. These species are not only crucial components for maintaining ecosystem structure and function but also embody profound cultural and historical significance. However, traditional conservation strategies, which primarily relied on habitat protection and captive breeding, proved inadequate in addressing emerging challenges such as genetic degradation in small populations and climate change. These limitations hindered effective prevention of ongoing genetic diversity loss and the decline in long-term population viability. To address these issues, this study undertook a systematic exploration of how technological integration could drive a fundamental transformation in the conservation paradigm. The investigation examined multiple aspects: the decoding of genomic information, the integration of multi-omics data, breakthroughs in reproductive and genetic engineering technologies, and the establishment of intelligent monitoring systems. The ultimate objective was the development of a replicable and scalable systematic conservation framework. This framework aims to achieve a transition from passive "rescue conservation" to proactive "sustainable recovery," with the goal not only of preventing species extinction but also of restoring the health, adaptability, and evolutionary potential of wild populations.
