Question 8251 — animals

Summary

The Ministry of Agriculture pays particular attention to the preservation of equine and donkey breeds threatened with extinction. This is demonstrated by the national support allocated to the French Society of Working Equines (SFET) for the organization of breeding competitions for these breeds, including the Ardennes draft horse. In this regard, the union of horse breeders of the Ardennes breed relies on the path of excellence of the young working equine set up by the SFET to determine the genetic value of the animals. In addition, national credits are allocated to promotion, knowledge transfer and information actions carried out by national organizations with equine producers. Furthermore, in France, 23 equine and donkey breeds can benefit from an agro-environmental measure called a premium in favor of the protection of breeds. endangered species (PRM) intended for the conservation of genetic resources. This measure of the second pillar of the common agricultural policy is managed by the regional councils within the framework of regional rural development programs co-financed by the European agricultural fund for rural development. It aims to keep animals belonging to local breeds on farms threatened with abandonment for agriculture. Based on the frame general set by the French rural development program, each regional council has defined its program according to the specificities and needs of its territory. For the current programming (2014-2020), the Grand Est regional council has chosen to implement the PRM in favor of the Ardennes draft horse.
