Optimum contribution for mate selection in Santa Inês sheep

Optimum contribution for mate selection in Santa Inês sheep

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to simulate the genetic gains expected comparing random mating strategies and mate selection by optimum contribution with different penalty levels in the inbreeding rate of Santa Inês sheep. The optimum contribution theory was thus applied to optimize gene...
