Calculation of the generation interval in two different ways for Gyimesi Racka sheep

Abstract

In modern and profit-oriented production conditions, indigenous animals are increasingly forced out of breeding, which means not only a decrease in their number, but also their genetic narrowing. The groups of Racka sheep include the most important indigenous sheep breeds of the Central and South-East Asian region, which are characterized by pronounced genetic diversity. The preservation of genetic diversity is served by the appropriate application of population genetic parameters.
