The effect of adding further traits in index selection.

Abstract excerpt

The effect on genetic and economic response of adding further traits in index selection was studied. This was done first using the true parameters and then using simulated parameter estimates and with "bending" to ensure consistent matrixes. The extra responses obtained in the full aggregate genotype were expressed as a percentage of the response before adding the trait. For simplicity the cases studied were...
