COI= Coefficient of inbreeding
AVK= Ancestor Loss Coefficient
two approaches to calculate the degree of inbreeding of a specific dog or a future litter. Important data for example to take into account in finding a suitable partner for a cover; this, of course, among many other factors to take into account. Through google you will easily find the explanation and the differences of the terms and many practical examples.
Unfortunately, the statistic tools at Wolfdog are dysfunctional for months now and for this reason alone the
tool of Elf is very important as an alternative. Perhaps even a better alternative since it is much more extensive. For example it also includes the possibility of measuring the
Mean Kinship (MK). Also an important factor in the preserving the fragile gene pool.
Have a nice sunday
