Mating animals by minimising the covariance between ancestral contributions generates less inbreeding without compromising genetic gain in breeding schemes with truncation selection.
We reasoned that mating animals by minimising the covariance between ancestral contributions (MCAC mating) will generate less inbreeding and at least as much genetic gain as minimum-coancestry mating in breeding schemes where the animals are truncation-selected. We tested this hypothesis by stochastic simulation and compared the mating criteria in hierarchical and factorial breeding schemes, wh...
متن کاملMating strategies with genomic information reduce rates of inbreeding in animal breeding schemes without compromising genetic gain
We tested the hypothesis that mating strategies with genomic information realise lower rates of inbreeding (∆F) than with pedigree information without compromising rates of genetic gain (∆G). We used stochastic simulation to compare ∆F and ∆G realised by two mating strategies with pedigree and genomic information in five breeding schemes. The two mating strategies were minimum-coancestry mating...
متن کاملGenetic Gain and Inbreeding from Genomic Selection in a Simulated Commercial Breeding Program for Perennial Ryegrass.
Genomic selection (GS) provides an attractive option for accelerating genetic gain in perennial ryegrass () improvement given the long cycle times of most current breeding programs. The present study used simulation to investigate the level of genetic gain and inbreeding obtained from GS breeding strategies compared with traditional breeding strategies for key traits (persistency, yield, and fl...
متن کاملMaximizing the response of selection with a predefined rate of inbreeding: overlapping generations.
In a breeding scheme, the aim is high rates of genetic gain with limited inbreeding. A dynamic selection rule is developed that maximizes selection response in populations with overlapping generations. The rule maximizes the genetic merit of selected animals while limiting the average relationship of the population after the current round of selection. The latter is shown to limit the contribut...
متن کاملPredicting rates of inbreeding for livestock improvement schemes.
This article presents a deterministic method to predict rates of inbreeding (deltaF) for typical livestock improvement schemes. The method is based on a recently developed general theory to predict rates of inbreeding, which uses the concept of long-term genetic contributions. A typical livestock breeding population was modeled, with overlapping generations, BLUP selection, and progeny testing ...
