Effect of Selection on Heterozygosis of Farm Animals

Rozhkov Yu. I., Okhapkin S. K., Vorobiev E. G., Bezenko S. P., Galimov I. R., Piskunov O. D., Rozhkova L. V.

A stabilizing selection which is made in cattle according to phenotypic characters affects simultaneously a genetic character--the level of individual heterozygosity++. As a result animals with mean (modal) level of heterozygosity++ have the least probability of elimination. Similarly, the driving selection in pigs and horses leads to a change in both phenotypic characters and genetic character, the level of individual heterozygosity++. In this case the most heterozygous animals have the least probability of elimination.
