Abstract:We developed equations to predict the asymptotic response due to two-stage selection, where first-stage selection was performed by using GEBVs based solely on genotypes and second-stage selection was performed with GEBVs that combined genotypes and phenotypes. The situation that we considered involved four-path selection executed as sires to breed sons, sires to breed daughters, dams to breed sons, and dams to breed daughters. We established two procedures to predict the response. The first incorporated correl… Show more
