Abstract excerpt
A method to estimate genetic parameters with a model that considers selected base animals as fixed was investigated. The model estimates genetic variance as a conditional variance based on the Mendelian sampling of gametes from the base parents. In a simulation study, 20 sires were selected and each was mated to 20 dams to create 400 animals for the next generation. Selection was for five generations, but only...
