8 Pág.The Cantabrian capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus cantabricus) is critically endangered. This subspecies has the lowest genetic variability and it is in regression. It belongs to Phasianidae family; therefore, the domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) could be a good model for developing reproductive technologies for use in capercaillie populations with low availability of animals.Fundación Biodiversidad-Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (Ref-DOC-2017458); Zoitechlab S.L.-INIA, Grant/Award Number: CON18-141Peer reviewe
