Influences of inbreeding on daily milk yield (DMY), age at first calving (AFC), and calving intervals (CI) were determined on a highly inbred zebu dairy subpopulation of the Guzerat breed. Variance components were estimated ...

Genetic characterization of African goats is one of the current priorities in the improvement of goats in the continent. This study contributes to the characterization effort by determining the levels and number of generations ...

Genetic improvement, without control of inbreeding, can go to loss of genetic variability, reducing the potential for genetic gains in the domestic populations. The aim of this study was to analyze the population structure ...

To provide data for conservation, selection, and expansion programs of buffalo herds, this study evaluated the history of a population of Murrah buffaloes based on population structure and the effect of inbreeding on ...

Inbreeding depression refers to a decrease in fitness components in the offspring of closely related sexual pairs. Given the disadvantages of inbreeding depression, it is of interest to study the mechanisms involved in ...

Inbreeding depression reduces the mean phenotypic value of important traits in livestock populations. The goal of this work was to estimate the level of inbreeding and inbreeding depression for growth and reproductive ...

The aim of this study was to describe the population structure, inbreeding and to quantify their effect for different weights, of Santa Ines sheep. For this reason, 6490 data of production and 17,097 animals in the pedigree ...

This research was carried out to evaluate the inbreeding effects and its possible influence on the beef cattle growth. Data with 27,406 observations of weaning weight, standardized to 205 (WW), and 14,317 observations of ...
