Genetic differentiation of endangered Austrian goat breeds using molecular genetic markers F. FISCHERLEITNER 1 and R. BAUMUNG 2 1 Institute of organic farming and farm animal biodiversity, Wels HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein 2 Department of sustainable agricultural systems BOKU, Vienna Conservation of old varieties and breeds as a part of Austrian agro-biodiversity has been an issue in the Austrian Program for Ecological and Sustainable Agriculture (ÖPUL) since 1997. In 2007 a new program (RD Rural Development 2007) will be launched. This program will last until 2013. According to the Council Regulation (EC)1257/1999 the program for conservation of genetic resources is co-financed by the EC. The conservation of Austrian rare endangered breeds currently 27 breeds (Table 1) and probably 30 breeds in the program RD 2007 2013 is linked to a special Austrian gene conservation program. Official acknowledgement as an endangered breed, registration in a herdbook and the participation in the gene conservation program are essential basics for supporting conservation actions.

The core of the gene conservation program is a system of planned mating to minimize the rate of inbreeding and therefore to conserve the genetic diversity within breeds. Mating plans are based on pedigree information aiming to produce offspring with relatively low inbreeding coefficients. Other main items of the gene conservation program are to provide as many sires as possible, which should be as unrelated as possible, and the building of a comprehensive gene bank (Fig. 1) Austrian programme for conservation of rare breeds In situ conservation on farms Conservation genetic diversity 1. Definition of breeds and level of endangering 21 breeds high endangered; 7 breeds endangered 2. Mating programme Conservation of genetic diversity selective mating Minimization of inbreeding obligatory! Breeding and mating use of a great number of sires 3. Ancestry control for every sire (obligatory) 4. Ex situ conservation (gene bank) 5. Subsidies Fig. 1 Gene conservation programme 2000 As sheep and goat breeds as well as some cattle breeds show only slight phenotypic differences the ÖNGENE has initiated and funded several research projects on genetic diversity of rare breeds. In September 2004 I had the pleasure to present a genetic diversity study of rare Austrian sheep breeds at the EAAP-Workshop Animal Genetic Resources. I may repeat briefly some of our results. In that project we estimated genetic distances between11 sheep breeds, 7 of them endangered Austrian breeds, using 25 microsatellite loci and we were able to show clear genetic differences between all 11 breeds. The shortest distance existed between Alpine Stone Sheep and Forest Sheep. Former crossbreeding between these two breeds was already known. In the so-called Stone Sheep Group (Alpine Stone Sheep, Montafon Stone Sheep, Krainer Stone Sheep and Tyrolean Stone Sheep) the Montafon Stone Sheep showed the longest distance to the other breeds. Therefore the Montafon Stone Sheep was 2
0.01 acknowledged as an independent rare and endangered breed in Austria. Further more than 90% of the individual animals could be assigned correctly to their respective breeds.

I am happy to present these results to you today. Introduction Several goat breeds of acknowledged endangered status whose conservation is subsidized exist. in Austria. Those are: - Chamois Alpine Goat - Tauern Pied Goat - Pinzgau Goat - Styrian Pied Goat Several breeders wanted to include the meanwhile native breeds Austrian Peacock Goat and Austrian Striped Goat in the coming conservation program 2007 to 2013. (Fig. 3) 3
Investigated Austrian goat breeds endangered: up to now Chamois Alpine Goat Pinzgau Goat StyrianPiedGoat Tauern Pied Goat endangered: 2007 Austrian Striped Goat Austrian Peacock Goat not endangered: but phenotypic similarities German Improved Fawn Goat Fig. 3 Investigated goat breeds Further the German Improved Fawn Goat, an established but not endangered breed was entered into the project because of a phenotypic resemblance to the Pinzgau Goat and the Chamois Alpine Goat. The main goal of the project was to investigate genetic similarities and differences between goat breeds aiming to ensure that only such breeds are defined as separate units which deserve special conservation promotion. Our results provide the basis for decisions which closely related breeds might be combined in case of severe bottlenecks. Further the possibility of a correct assignment of single individuals to a breed according to their marker genotypes is investigated. This might be of interest for phenotypically suitable individuals where no pedigree information is available Materials and Methods 60 tissue samples were collected from each of the 7 investigated goat breeds. 26 microsatellite loci (recommended by FAO) were typed for each sample at molecular genetic labs in Vienna and Madrid. Data were analysed at the Department for Sustainable Agricultural Systems, BOKU Vienna. Statistical analysis was done in 3 parts: 1. Qualitative evaluation of microsatellite loci 2. Estimation of genetic distances between the investigated breeds 3. Correct assignment of individuals to their breed 4
Results 1. Data collection and data quality In table 2 an overview on the number of investigated samples and breeds is given. In total 377 samples of 7 Austrian goat breeds were analysed for 26 gene loci lasting total 278 animals where at least 14 loci were typed successfully could be entered into the statistic computations.

Genetic distances and genetic distance tree Following the theory of classical population-genetics a population or breed is defined by the frequency of alleles (frequency of gene variations). After recording of the allele frequencies the genetic distances based on the allele frequencies can be calculated with several methods. In this study Nei s minimum distance (NEI, 1987) and Reynold s distance (REYNOLDS, 1983) were used. Both methods yielded similar results (Table 3) 5

The smallest genetic distance was found between German Improved Fawn Goat and Chamois Alpine goat. It is well known that crossbreeding between these two breeds was performed before the start of the gene conservation program in 1997. Since then clearly separated breeding programmes were carried out. The longest genetic distance was found between the Tauern Pied Goat and the Austrian Striped Goat. The long distance of the Tauern Pied goat shows a long breeding history independent from other breeds. The large distance of the Austrian Striped Goat seems to stem from the too small random sample and and is therefore not of statistic relevance. Different sizes of random samples may bias genetic distances and small random samples are able to make genetic distances look longer. This could be shown in simulation studies (SIMIANER, 2002). 3. Assignment of individual animals It was tested how well single individuals based on their marker genotypes could be assigned to a population respectively to their breed. According to BAUMUNG and SÖLKNER (2002) the correct allocation was calculated following the Maximum-Likelihood method based on the Sentence of Bayes. With special calculation programs the probability of allocation can be expressed in percent respectively the part of the most probable assignments can be calculated. Of the 278 analysed goats 226 animals (81%) could be assigned with highest probability and 263 animals (95%) significantly to their own breed. The unfavourable results for the German Improved Fawn Goat confirm the known crossing with other breeds (Table 4). 7

Summary In the course of genotype analyses of endangered Austrian goat breeds the genetic individuality of each breed was confirmed. This is the basis for the acknowledgement as an endangered conservable breed. 26 micro-satellite markers were used in the investigation. 4 microsatellite markers had to be discarded from the analysis because of significant deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Based on 22 microsatellites the following statements were made: 1. All 7 breeds show significant differences in the frequencies of alleles and can be defined as individual breeds (exception: Austrian Striped Goat random sample too small) 2. The former crossings between German Improved Fawn Goat and Chamois Alpine Goat could be confirmed. 3. The phenotypically similar breeds Tauern Pied Goat and Styrian Pied Goat as well as Pinzgau Goat and Chamois Alpine Goat show distinct differences in allele and genotype frequencies. 8
Based on the reliable results of the genetic differentiation of Austrian sheep and goat breeds presently a project on genetic differentiation of rare Austrian solid coloured cattle breeds is realised. This project includes the Hungarian Grey Cattle. I am looking forward to presenting the results to you in the years to come. Literature BAUMUNG, R. und SÖLKNER, J.
