Investigating the benefits and perils of importing genetic material in small cattle breeding programs via simulation
ABSTRACT: Small breeding programs are limited in achieving competitive genetic gain and prone to high rates of inbreeding. Thus, they often import genetic material to increase genetic gain and to limit the loss of genetic variability. However, the benefit of import depends on the strength of genotyp...
