Guideline to define breeding objective functions, construct selection indexes and deal with uncertain sires in sheep and goat breeding programmes
In three main chapters this guideline describes basic procedures to (1) define breeding objectives, (2) construct and evaluate selection indexes and (3) estimate breeding values in populations with uncertain sires. The guideline targets practical sheep and goat advisors involved in the operation of...
