Optimizing genetic diversity in Australian Holsteins and Jerseys: A comparative analysis of whole-genome and regional inbreeding depression effects

ABSTRACT: Homozygosity, which can arise from several genetic mechanisms including inbreeding, is frequently observed in the offspring of related parents.
