Abstract

The usage of breeding values is important part of successful animal breeding. Results of experiments show, that when the animals are selected by a breeding values calculated by the BLUP method, the genetic gain is twice as much as the gain by selection done only by recorded performance. When also the pedigree information about more generations is accessible, the genetic gain increases even more.
