Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the concept of inbreeding by numerically defining and categorizing its intensity to better understand its consequences for offspring. Inbreeding occurs when closely related individuals mate, such as cousins, siblings, or even parents and offspring. The author uses pedigree analysis to calculate inbreeding coefficients, demonstrating how inbreeding levels increase with each successive generation of mating within a closed population. The text explores the theoretical implications of various types of inbreeding, including single and double cousin mating, as well as uncle-niece or aunt-nephew mating. By examining specific case studies of pedigrees, the author illustrates the practical application of these concepts. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the genetic consequences of inbreeding and its implications for breeding practices, highlighting the importance of genetic diversity for the health and vigor of offspring.
