Ex situ and in situ data for endangered livestock breeds in Spain
Description
The dataset consists of ex situ data and in situ data. Ex situ data was obtained via survey applied to 17 operating gene banks in Spain and relates to the reproductive genetic materials (semen doses) of 211 livestock breeds distributed across the gene banks. In situ data combines CENSUS information with linear regression techniques and relates to geographic distribution of Spanish autonomous livestock breeds (2009-2018), in situ population projections and extinction probabilities (2019-2060).

Steps to reproduce
Genetic materials data were obtained via surveys with 17 Spanish gene banks that provided most recent (2018) information on stored materials. In situ data were provided by the National Information System of Spanish Livestock Breeds (ARCA) held by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and used for linear regression analysis.
