Abstract
This Order sets regulations with regard to financial subsidy granted by the Danish Agrifish Agency for the preservation of old Danish breeds and related breed associations contributing to the preservation of these and in adherence to EU provisions. These subsidies are granted to private and public entities and institutions following applications which shall be approved by the Agency as part of a coordinated breeding programme for the preservation of livestock species.

Animal subsidies may be equivalent for each livestock unit (LU) to an annual maximum of 3 000 DKK for females and 8 000 DKK for males, and must not exceed the additional costs associated with the keeping of the endangered breeds. The animal species include equines, cattle, sheep-goats and swine.
The Order consists of 4 Chapters and 1 Appendix: Scope (1); Subsidies for livestock (2); Subsidy granted for breeding and breeding associations (3); Common provisions (4).
