Resumen del Recurso
Selection
Aim is to breed from animals which will have the best progeny.
Response to selection
The mean performance of the progeny generation minus the mean performance of the parent generation.
Depends on many things:
Heritability (h2)
The superiority of the selected animals
Nota:
Measured by the selection differential (s). S = mean of selected animals - mean of the population.
Calculation = R = h2 x s.
Selection Intensity
Selection differential is determined by two things:
The proportion selected (p)
The standard deviation (SD)
Nota:
The measure of the spread of the population.
As the standard deviation increases, the selection differential increases.
Often we want to predict response of a population to a selection from a knowlege of the proportion of animals selected (p)
S = i x SD
Selection intensity (i) is the number of standard deviations that the animals are superior to the mean.
Nota:
Value of i therefore decreases as p increases.
Increasing the rate of genetic gain
A low proportion of selected animals.
So that selection intensity is high.
So that selection differential (s) is high
A high phenotypic variation
Nota:
So that the animals we select are a lot better than the average.
A high heritability
Nota:
So the superiority of the parents is passed on to the progeny.
Response per generation and response per year
R = S x h2
R = i x h2 x SD
Often it is more useful to predict the response per year
To do this we need to know the generation interval (L) in years
Nota:
Response per year = Response per generation / L = S x h2 / L or h2 x i x SD / L
To maximise response per year we need:
High heritability
High selection intensity
High phenotypic variation
Low generation interval
Generation Interval
Nota:
Humans = 20-30 Sheep = 3-4 Pig = 1-3 Cattle = 4-6
The average age of the parents when the progeny are born.
Calculated from the average of the parents in a hed.
Nota:
For example if we had cows 2, 3, 4 and 5 at calving it would be: 2 + 3 + 4 +5 / 4 = 3.5.
The progeny get half their genes from their sire and half from their dam.
Average age of cows + average age of bulls / 2
