DAD-IS

DAD-IS is the acronym for Domestic Animal Diversity Information System, which is a tool developed and maintained by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

DAD-IS contains information on breed characteristics, uses, geographic distribution and demographics; more than 4,000 images; and tools for generating user-defined reports; and has a multilingual interface and content.
