Abstract
Recent developments in bull sire evaluation procedures are reviewed and relationships of several methods of sire evaluation are indicated. The best linear unbiased predictor (blup) approach was discussed. This gives a convenient framework for discussing recent advances in variance component estimation. Other topics discussed include selection and the use of relationships between animals. Areas needing further work are indicated; these include the estimation of genetic trend and evaluation methods for non-linear models.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
