Application of optimal contribution selection, trait distribution management, and group selection in layer chickens.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 21 Jan 2026

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Optimal Contribution Selection (OCS) aims at maximizing long term response to selection by balancing short term genetic gain and inbreeding rate. In this study, OCS, trait management, and group mating methods were applied to poultry data to evaluate their potential impact. Real data from a White Leghorn line with 7 generations of pedigree and estimated breeding values (EBV) for 18 traits were used to...
