In collaboration with Wageningen University, we have developed a new technique that allows ZooEasy to use less processing power. This enables Mean Kinship calculations to be carried out more quickly, whilst delivering the same reliable results.
Mean Kinship is the average kinship of an animal to the entire population. This value is a key indicator for future inbreeding and the preservation of genetic diversity within a breed. Thanks to the improved calculation method, you can now access this value more quickly, enabling you to make more informed breeding decisions.
