Inbreeding depression has been widely documented for livestock and other animal and
plant populations. Inbreeding is generally expected to have a stronger unfavorable effect on …

Genetic parameters were estimated for six reproductive traits related to farrowing events in
Landrace and Large White pigs; total number born (TNB), number born alive (NBA), number …

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 …

Inbreeding depression is expected to be more pronounced in fitness-related traits, such as
pig litter size. Recent studies have suggested that the genetic determinism of inbreeding …

In this study records of 58 925 litters of Austrian Large White and 17 846 litters of Austrian
Landrace pigs were analysed. Regression models were used to determine the effects of …

In a synthetic closed population of Pannon White rabbits, additive (VA), dominance (VD) and
permanent environmental (VPe) variance components as well as doe (bF d) and litter (bF l) …

Marginal economic values for production and reproduction traits of pigs were estimated
applying a bio-economic model to Hungarian commercial sow herds with integrated …

Highlights•Eggs of inbred parents have typically lower hatching success than control
parents.•The observed difference may result from reduced parental care of inbred …

Background The quantitative genetics theory argues that inbreeding depression and
heterosis are founded on the existence of directional dominance. However, most procedures …

Inbreeding is a biological phenomenon of special relevance in domestic species in which its
influence has been typically associated with reductions in animal fitness. Nevertheless …
