A line selected for large litter size for 124 generations (H) and a control line (K) maintained without selection for the same num- ber of generations were crossed (HK) and used as a basis for the experiment. Within the HK cross, full sib, cousin or random mating were practised for two generations in order to create new inbreeding (IBF ) at a fast rate. In the first generation of systematic mating, old inbreeding was regenerated in addition to creation of new inbreeding from the mating design giving total inbreeding (IBT ). The number of pups born alive (NBA) and body weights of the animals were then analysed by a model including both IB and IB . The IB of the dam was in the present T F T study found to reduce the mean NBA with –0.48 (±0.22) (p 0.05) pups per 10% increas
