Breeding Against Hip and Elbow #Dysplasia

The objective of this study was to develop #breeding strategies to reduce the incidence of canine hip and elbow #dysplasia. For this purpose, investigations were conducted on the mode of #inheritance as well as genetic parameters, genetic trends and selection differentials for the #traits.
Population structure and #inbreeding were also examined, and finally, various selection schemes were compared by a simulation study to find out potential #genetic responses and possibilities for a comprehensive breeding program.
