Abstract

In the Czech Republic, the control of genetic health was abolished. On the example of one congenital defect of cattle, atresia ani et recti, the risk of such approach is demonstrated. The defect is hereditary, and sires with affected offspring should be eliminated from reproduction. Carelessness results in the spread of undesirable alleles in the population.
