In animal husbandry, if two closely related animals are mated for a few generations, it results in loss of fertility and vigour. Why is it so?

Answer»

The phenomenon being referred to is called ‘Inbreeding Depression’ and
results in loss of fertility and vigour. This happens because the recessive
alleles tend to get together and express harmful effects in the progeny.
