Abstract excerpt
To evaluate inbreeding depression, which is a reduction in the phenotypic mean of a population due to mating between close relatives, for semen production traits in cattle, it is necessary to understand inbreeding depression both regionally and across the genome. This study aimed to investigate genome-wide and regional inbreeding depression in semen production traits in Japanese Black bulls (JB) and Holstein...
