| Research Abstract |
1. In Preliminary Survey (H.14.8.18-25), First Survey (H14.12.19-H15.1.16) and Third Survey (H15.12.18-H16.1.14) in Cambodia, we got genetical, morphological or other data of domestic and wild type of animals by field observation, investigation on farming materials, measurements of animals or analyses of biological materials in 18 provinces of the country. Those data were compiled to subject further comparative analyses with those of other animals in other Asian countries we investigated so far. We still continue detailed experimental analyses with biological materials. Studies on history of establishment of Asian native domestic animals, genetic-resource evaluation and its cultural aspects will be extended.
2. Data or preliminary results obtained are as follows : (1) Cattle:field observation of coat-color variation of 28140 head, body-measurements of more than 200 head, blood samples of 212 head which were subjected to electrophoretic analyses for 21 genetic loci and DNA extraction, and collection of several cultural materials for museum exhibition. (2) Similarly in many individuals of water buffaloes, goats, pigs, horses, chickens and ducks, morphological or biological materials and data could be obtained. (3) biological materials of wild animals such as jungle fowls, wild boars and house shrews were also obtained. After detailed experimental analyses of those materials, most of research results concerned with Cambodian domestic and the wild relatives will be opened in the special issue of Report of the Society for Researches on Native Livestock (No.22) published in 2006.
