Description
INTRODUCTION Selection response has been improved continuously through advanced genetic selection programs recently although increase of inbreeding rate has been issued at the same time (Weigel and Lin, 2002). Inbreeding is the matings of individuals with ancestry in common and is based on the average relationship among all individuals in the population. Inbreeding increases homozygosity of alleles. Therefore, individuals with high inbreeding coefficients have a greater probability of homozygous alleles. Inbreeding has been used to develop uniform herds of animals with more homozygous genotypes, but increased inbreeding may cause side effects such as reproductive atrophy resulting in stillbirth or deformity. In pigs, reduction of litter size due to increased inbreeding can be the result of either decreased conception rate as inbreeding level of sows increase, or loss of vitality of piglets as their inbreeding level increases.
