Inbreeding depression in red deer calves [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Understanding the fitness consequences of inbreeding is of major importance for evolutionary and conservation biology. However, there are few studies using pedigree-based estimates of inbreeding or investigating the influence of environment ...

Inbreeding affected differently on observations distribution of a growth trait in Iranian Baluchi sheep [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2021 Objective Initial consequence of inbreeding is inbreeding depression which impairs the performance of growth, production, health, fertility and survival traits in different animal breeds and populations. The effect of inbreeding on economically important

The use of frozen semen to minimize inbreeding in small populations [PDF]
, 2002 In this study, we compared the average coancestry and inbreeding levels for two genetic conservation schemes in which frozen semen from a gene bank is used to reduce the inbreeding in a live population.

What happens after inbreeding avoidance? Inbreeding by rejected relatives and the inclusive fitness benefit of inbreeding avoidance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Avoiding inbreeding, and therefore avoiding inbreeding depression in offspring fitness, is widely assumed to be adaptive in systems with biparental reproduction.

Aquaculture Reports, 2021 The occurrence of inbreeding over generations cannot be avoided in breeding practice because of limited effective population sizes, and inbreeding is expected to decrease the heritability within populations.

SELECTION AND INBREEDING DEPRESSION: EFFECTS OF INBREEDING RATE AND INBREEDING ENVIRONMENT [PDF]
Evolution, 2006 The magnitude of inbreeding depression in small populations may depend on the effectiveness with which natural selection purges deleterious recessive alleles from populations during inbreeding. The effectiveness of this purging process, however, may be influenced by the rate of inbreeding and the environment in which inbreeding occurs.

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021 Background While the adoption of genomic evaluations in livestock has increased genetic gain rates, its effects on genetic diversity and accumulation of inbreeding have raised concerns in cattle populations.

Evaluating the selection of improved Fars native fowl with the inbreeding assessment approach [PDF]
پژوهش های علوم دامی, 2022 Introduction: Performance of native fowl can be improved by making changes in feeding, rearing and health issues. Genetic improvement of these breeds can be achieved through the breeding programs such as selection, crossbreeding, or both.

Estimate of inbreeding depression on growth and reproductive traits in a Large White pig population
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 With the broad application of genomic information, SNP-based measures of estimating inbreeding have been widely used in animal breeding, especially based on runs of homozygosity.

Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Recent studies have shown that current levels of inbreeding, estimated by runs of homozygosity (ROH), are moderate to high in farmed rainbow trout lines.
