Evaluation of Optimum Genetic Contribution Theory to Control Inbreeding While Maximizing Genetic Response
Inbreeding is the mating of relatives that produce progeny having more homozygous alleles than non-inbred animals. Inbreeding increases numbers of recessive alleles, which is often associated with decreased performance known as inbreeding depression. The magnitude of inbreeding depression depends on...
