Abstract excerpt
Maintaining the genetic composition of the captive founders is one of the essential tasks in ex situ captive breeding programs. Although minimization of the average coancestry of the current animals is the most widely accepted genetic management procedure when relationships among the captive founders are unknown (MC method), it has become possible to estimate the relatedness of the founders owing to the...
