Abstract: In this study, we would introduce the situation and progress of the conservation of international animal genetic resource research, analysis the development and application of the bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library, and elaborate the special adversity of the application of BAC library in the animal genetic resource conservation. In additional, it is propose that the establishment of BAC library would be the important complement form of the animal genetic resource conservation. By the developing of BAC library, it would be help to promote the safety and permanence of animal genetic resource conservation, provide the irreplaceable material and to study the special traits of animal breeds in the future, and it also has the important practice value and the promotion to achieve the conservation of the animal genetic resources.

Key words: bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library; livestock genetic resource conservation; application
