Abstract excerpt
Inbreeding plays a crucial role in livestock breeding, influencing genetic diversity and phenotypic traits. Genomic data have helped address limitations posed by incomplete pedigrees, providing deeper insights into breed genetic diversity. This study assesses inbreeding levels via pedigree and genomic approaches and analyzes old and recent inbreeding using runs of homozygosity (ROH), and selection signals in...
