Exploring inbreeding depression in Brazilian Angus cattle population using pedigree and genomic data
These findings underscore the complexity of inbreeding depression and highlight the importance of considering both the extent and historical depth of inbreeding when evaluating its effects on various traits. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into the genetic basis of inbreeding depression in the Brazilian Angus population and demonstrates the usefulness of genomic data in understanding and mitigating the impacts of inbreeding in livestock populations.
