Pedigree-Based Assessment of Inbreeding Effects on Conformation and Performance Traits in the Peruvian Paso Horse: Implications for Sustainable Genetic Improvement
The Peruvian Paso Horse (PPH) is a breed distinguished by its unique four-beat lateral gait. Nowadays, it faces significant genetic challenges related to declining genetic diversity and inbreeding depression, which may substantially affect conformation and performance traits. This study aimed to analyze inbreeding depr...
