Abstract
The theory of constructing a performance index which may be used in the selection of animals for phenotypic gains is presented. This index is compared with the genetic selection index and numerical examples are used to illustrate how the use of each index is likely to affect genetic and phenotypic gains.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
