This book is part of the Equine Research, Inc. library set-a highly respected collection of eight books that should form the foundation of every horse person's bookshelf.
For years, horsemen have questioned the advantages and disadvantages of inbreeding. Some breeders believe a limited degree of inbreeding is desirable (and even unavoidable), but that it is detrimental to productivity if carried to the extreme. Others claim that intensive inbreeding is important to breed improvement. Still others try to avoid inbreeding and remain within the boundaries of an outbreeding system. This section will examine the advantages and the disadvantages of the various inbreeding and outbreeding systems, relating each aspect to basic genetic principles.
