Inbreeding coefficient (IK)
The calculation of the inbreeding coefficient (IK) is based on ancestors who appear at least once on the paternal and maternal side in the pedigree. If a dog occurs several times with only one of the parents, this does not affect the IC. The higher the IK, the higher the inbreeding rate.
The calculation in the ÖRC database takes place over 4 generations.
Ancestral loss coefficient (AVK)
Two or more occurrences of the same ancestor in the genealogical table are referred to as loss of ancestors. A high value means little ancestry loss, while a low value means high ancestry loss.
The calculation in the ÖRC database takes place over 4 generations (30 ancestors)
Unknown dogs are not taken into account in the calculation of the IK or the AVK and can lead to incorrect results.
