Analysis of Inbreeding Effects on Survival at Birth of Pannon White Rabbits Using the Inbreeding-Purging Model

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Mating between related animals is an inevitable consequence of a closed population structure especially when it coincides with a small population size. As a result, inbreeding depression may be encountered especially when considering fitness traits. However, under certain circumstances, the joint effects of inbreeding and selection may at least partly purge the detrimental genes from the population. In the course of this study, our objective was to determine the status of purging and to quantify the magnitude of the eliminated genetic load for the survival at birth of Pannon White rabbit kits maintained in a closed nucleus population. The evolution of the survival at birth was evaluated by applying the PurgeR R package based on the inbreeding-purging model. In the period from 1992 to 2017, 22.718 kindling records were analyzed. According to the heuristic approach, the purging coefficient reached the maximum possible value of 0.5 when estimating between 1992 and 1997. Based on the expected fitness over generations and on the expressed opportunity of purging, the beneficial effects of purging could be expected after 10 generations. The proportion of the purged genetic load could be between 20% and 60%. While the results obtained are not entirely conclusive, they do raise the possibility that some of the inbreeding load was caused, at least in part, by genes that could be successfully removed from the population by purging.
