Abstract

Aberdeen Angus breed is one of the most numerous beef breed in the Czech Republic. In many herds it is running under the organic production system. Breeding values are estimated for growth traits, calving performance and exterior but comprehensive economic selection index of the breed has not been established until now. Economic weights (EWs) of traits currently used as selection criteria and of further traits (totally 16 traits) were calculated to be applied for selection decisions under the actual production and economic conditions.
