Mating schemes for optimum contribution selection with constrained rates of inbreeding

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The effect of non-random mating on genetic response was compared for populations with discrete generations. Mating followed a selection step where the average coancestry of selected animals was constrained, while genetic response was maximised. Minimum coancestry...
