Where ΔF is the rate of inbreeding due to the genetic contribution of the animals that are considered, and c2 is the contribution of an animal to the next contribution, squared. This formula can be used to predict the rate of inbreeding in the future, given mating intensity decisions today!
Thus:

Thus: mating intensity can have irreversible consequences for the rate of inbreeding in future generations. Large genetic contributions of genetically superior animals will spread through the population and remain there as fixed proportions in each animal. |
