Inbreeding Levels and Inbreeding Depression in a Farmed
نویسندگان
چکیده
A farmed population of rainbow trout under selection for over six generations from the Norwegian Salmon Breeding Company, Ltd. was investigated for levels of inbreeding and occurrence of inbreeding depression for body weight. The average percent inbreeding levels and percent of individuals with inbreeding greater than zero (in parenthesis) were 2.9 (59.3), 2.8 (49.8), 8.5 (87.1), 8.0 (82.8) and 6.6 (81.4) for generations 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively. The coefficients of inbreeding ranged from zero to 30%. The rate of increase in inbreeding coefficient was non-linear. The average increase in inbreeding was 1.3% per generation. The inbreeding depressions for body weight at harvest per generation were: -1.2%, -0.3%, +0.03%, -0.2% and +O. 1% per 1% unit increase in inbreeding coefficient. Over all generations, inbreeding depression was -0.2% per 1% inbreeding. These results suggest there is no cause for concern over the current inbreeding trend and inbreeding depression for this population.

The aim of this study was to estimate amount of inbreeding coefficient in Shal sheep and its impact on growth performance. Pedigree information and body weight at different ages (birth weight, 3 month weight, 6 month weight, 9 month weight and 12 month weight) were used from 6692 lambs from 90 rams and 1007 ewes. Data were collected on Ghazvin sheep breeding station during 1997-2013. Estimation...

Inbreeding depression is a harmful phenomenon in livestock which is outcome of inbreeding. Inbreeding is consequence mating between two individuals who are more related to each other than average relatedness in population, which results in reducing in fitness of progenies and genetic variability in populations.

The present study was performed to study the effect of inbreeding on the pre-weaning growth traits including the birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), average daily gain (ADG), Kleiber ratio (KR) and lamb survival from birth to weaning (SUR) in Baluchi, Iran-Black and Zandi sheep. Significant positive inbreeding trends were found only for Baluchi and Iran-Black breeds as 0.038 and 0.278, resp...
