Article Synopsis
- The study assessed changes in population structure, reproductive performance, inbreeding, and genetic diversity in Charolais cattle using genealogical data from the Ecuadorian Charolais Association.
- It divided the data into five time periods, analyzing factors like pedigree completeness, generation interval, inbreeding levels, and effective population size with specific software.
- Results showed a decrease in pedigree completeness and generation interval over time, an increase in inbreeding, and a progressive loss of genetic diversity, but female reproductive efficiency improved, suggesting a need for genetic resource management to address inbreeding issues.
