Inbreeding in Dairy Cattle

Inbreeding is defined as half of the genetic relationship between an animal’s parents. For example, the offspring from a mating of animals A and B, which have the same father, will have 12.5 percent inbreeding, because the genetic relationship between A and B is 25 percent. Statistical methods to select the best sires of each generation have been developed, making it feasible to achieve any pos...
