Abstract

This paper presents the genetic history of the three new breeds created by the scientific research at the Research and Development Institute for Sheep and Goat Breeding Palas Constanta, namely: Palas Milk Breed, Palas Meat Breed and Palas Prolific Breed. For each breed are presented: index of reproductive isolation, genetic similarity with the founding breeds, the evolution of the interval between generations, inbreeding and subdivision of the breed and the genetic size of each breed (Ne). The study showed that the sheep breeds created at R.D.I.S.G.B. Palas are genetically stable and do not present any danger of degeneration.
