Minimization of rate of inbreeding for populations with overlapping generations combining live and frozen genetics each selection candidate. The carrying capacity of the population is limited to a fixed number of animals per year. For survival rates <100 % the algorithm has to optimize the use of few old and less related animals with many young and higher related animals. For a scheme where the oldest animals were selected, ∆F increased with 18-5 2% compared with the proposed method. When freezing semen of all sires in a gene bank and assuming that each sire can be used infinitely, the relationships are set in the first 2-3 years, and thereafter the average co-ancestry of the population stays about the same, such that ∆F is approximately ze...
