The advantage of using best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) of breeding value over different selection indexes was examined for a sex-limited trait in a simulated layer poultry population. The base breeding population consisted of 30 males and 300 females that were unrelated to each other. Heritability for different analyses was assumed to be either .1, .2, or .5.
