Abstract

Nowadays, when almost in all branches of farm animal breeding the industrial- type keeping systems have become more and more general, the taking into consideration one of the newest area of population genetics seems to be necessary. This is the ecological genetics, analysing the inheritance and variability in the light of environment factors. Its subject includes the investigation of following problems: how the animals behave themselves among the changed large-scale production conditions, how they react upon the new living conditions by their production, health condition and by their multiplying ability.
