Correlation Analysis among the Various Inbreeding Coefficients of Pannon Ka Rabbits [PDF]
DiversityIn a closed population with a limited population size, mating of related animals is unavoidable. In this study, the genealogy data of a synthetic maternal rabbit breed called Pannon Ka were used to calculate different inbreeding coefficients.

Characterizing and Eliminating the Inbreeding Load [PDF]
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 The authors evaluated the relevant literature related to purging, which is the interaction between selection and inbreeding in which the population may eliminate its inbreeding load at least partially. According to the relevant literature, the inbreeding

Purging of inbreeding depression within the Irish Holstein-Friesian population [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2009 The objective of this study was to investigate whether inbreeding depression in milk production or fertility performance has been partially purged due to selection within the Irish Holstein-Friesian population.

Inbreeding Depression and Purging for Meat Performance Traits in German Sheep Breeds [PDF]
Animals, 2023 This study provides estimates on genetic parameters, inbreeding depression and purging for meat performance measures from 25 German sheep breeds. All German meat, merino sheep breeds and breeds of other breeding directions with a sufficient number of ...

Inbreeding depression due to recent and ancient inbreeding in Dutch Holstein–Friesian dairy cattle [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019 Background Inbreeding decreases animal performance (inbreeding depression), but not all inbreeding is expected to be equally harmful. Recent inbreeding is expected to be more harmful than ancient inbreeding, because selection decreases the frequency of ...

Fine-tuning genomic and pedigree inbreeding rates in equine population with a deep and reliable stud book: the case of the Pura Raza Española horse [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022 Background Estimating inbreeding, which is omnipresent and inevitable in livestock populations, is a primary goal for management and animal breeding especially for those interested in mitigating the negative consequences of inbreeding.

Effect of recent and ancient inbreeding on production and fertility traits in Canadian Holsteins [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Phenotypic performances of livestock animals decline with increasing levels of inbreeding, however, the noticeable decline known as inbreeding depression, may not be due only to the total level of inbreeding, but rather could be distinctly ...

Ancestral Inbreeding Only Minimally Affects Inbreeding Depression in Mammalian Populations [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 1997 Inbreeding depression can be reduced, or purged, by selection against deleterious alleles. This prediction is the basis of the recommendation that captive wildlife populations suffering from inbreeding depression be intentionally bred from healthy inbred animals. Yet data on the effectiveness of purging inbreeding depression are few.

Effects of Long-Term Selection in the Border Collie Dog Breed: Inbreeding Purge of Canine Hip and Elbow Dysplasia [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Pedigree data of 13,339 border collie dog was collected along with canine hip dysplasia (CHD) and canine elbow dysplasia (CED) records (1352 CHD and 524 CED), and an inbreeding–purging (IP) model was created.
