No statistically significant negative inbreeding effect could be shown. A high inbreeding coefficient per se does not make an individual unsuitable for breeding. This is better reflected in the mean kinship (mk) of an individual, where mean kinship is the average relatedness of an individual to all other individuals in the zoo population.
In zoo population:
Number of founders 33
Founder genomes surviving 21.806
Mean inbreeding coefficient 0.079
Mean kinship 0.0634
Gene diversity 0.9366
Founder genome equivalents 7.8893
