[EN] Individual-specific hidden inbreeding depression load (IDL) can be accounted for in livestock populations by appropriate best linear unbiased prediction approaches. This genetic effect has a recessive pattern and ...
[EN] 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, recent research suggests substantial ...
[EN] An experiment of divergent selection for intramuscular fat was carried out at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia. The high response of selection in intramuscular fat content, after nine generations of selection, and ...
