Abstract: | This study examined trends in the genetic diversity in the Australian Angus cattle population through the calculation of inbreeding, effective population size, effective number of ancestors and effective number of founders over time. The effective population size ranged from 68 to 122 depending on the assumed generation interval. For animals born in 2018, 10 key ancestors explained ~42% of the genetic diversity within the population. Knowledge of overall genetic diversity will help manage the population to maintain long-term rates of genetic gain. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAABG 2019: 23rd Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Armidale, Australia, 27 October-1 November | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, v.23, p. 75-78 | Publisher: | Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics (AAABG) | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISSN: | 1328-3227 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding 060412 Quantitative Genetics (incl.
