Abstract excerpt
Genetic changes and genetic drift in three small closed dairy cattle populations were examined with a stochastic simulation model. Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer and AI techniques were simulated in three populations, two with 88 breeding females each and one with 352 breeding females. The selection goal was to maximize genetic improvement in milk yield. The reduction in genetic variation due to inbreeding...
