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.

Non-random mating for selection with restricted rates of inbreeding and overlapping generations [PDF]
, 2002 Minimum coancestry mating with a maximum of one offspring per mating pair (MC1) is compared with random mating schemes for populations with overlapping generations. Optimum contribution selection is used, whereby ΔF is restricted.

Pedigree structure of American bison (Bison bison) population
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2018 An effective realization of breeding programs in zoos is strongly determined by completeness of animal pedigree information. The knowledge of pedigree structure allows to maintain optimal genetic variability of a given population.

Estimation of pedigree errors in the UK dairy population using microsatellite markers and the impact on selection [PDF]
, 2002 The proportion of cows in the UK dairy herd whose sires were misidentified was estimated using DNA markers. Genetic marker genotypes were determined on 568 cows (from 168 milk samples and 400 hair samples) and 96 putative sires (from semen samples).

Effect of recent and ancient inbreeding on production and fertility traits in Canadian Holsteins
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 ...

Pedigree and marker information requirements to monitor genetic variability
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2003 There are several measures available to describe the genetic variability of populations. The average inbreeding coefficient of a population based on pedigree information is a frequently chosen option.

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.

Level of Inbreeding in Norik of Muran Horse: Pedigree vs. Genomic Data
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2019 The objective of this study was to analyse the level of pedigree and genomic inbreeding in a herd of the Norik of Muran horses. The pedigree file included 1374 animals (603 stallions and 771 mares), while the reference population consisted of animals ...

Balancing gain and diversity: Optimal contribution selection for sustainable genetic improvement in sugarcane. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ∼80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's complex polyploid genome and long breeding cycles, which limit the efficiency of traditional selection methods.
