Impact of inbreeding on production, fertility, and health traits in German Holstein dairy cattle utilizing various inbreeding estimators.

Abstract excerpt

In dairy cattle production, it is important to understand how inbreeding affects production, fertility, and health traits. However, there is still limited use of genomic information to estimate inbreeding, despite advancements in genotyping technologies. To address this gap, we investigated the effect of inbreeding on German Holstein dairy cattle using both pedigree-based and genomic-based inbreeding estimators....
