Genetic Diversity in a Collection

[T&C Exotics]

Gotcha, yeah we agree then, and i see what you were meaning by the exclusion now. All inbreeding does is crowd similar genes together, but without "bad" genes the crowding doesnt matter at all. Of course people can argue that it increases the likelyhood of bad traits being expressed but I think we would both agree that bad breeding practices can be done with both outcrossing and inbreeding.

Its pretty simple, we breed animals, if a deleterious trait pops up, you stop breeding them, to anything, no matter how high or low the COI is.

Exactly. We could do nothing but outcross and have severely deformed babies. If an animal produces bad babies one year I do the same pairing the next. If all is good I was fault if not they are retired. Simple as that.
