Abstract

Basis for selection and breeding are breeding values (BV). Methods of BV estimation are under permanent development. Separate countries participate with national BV in international evaluation Interbull. Utilization of the large number of genetic markers (SNP) allows higher reliability of BV and permit to use in breeding with satisfactory reliability already young animals. For this purpose there is to modify current methods of genetic evaluation of animals BLUP-AM. Reliability increases first of all for dams of sires and young bulls before the test. Expressive cut-price of costs of breeding to the fraction of original, shortening of generation interval, and meaningful increase of genetic gain realised herewith.
