Resumen
Descripción
The genetic progress achieved in dairy cattle breeding is notorious and is directly related to the use of genetically superior sires. However, the large-scale adoption of fewer sires can reduce genetic variability and increase the levels of inbreeding in populations of interest for animal production. In this scenario, the Girolando breed stands out at a national level for its productive efficiency. The aim of this study was to find out about the genetic diversity of Girolando animals by estimating the levels of inbreeding through pedigree analysis.
