INFLUENCE OF SELECTION AND GENETIC PARAMETERS ON THE ACCURACY OF INDEX ESTIMATION (BY THE EXAMPLE OF PIG BREEDING)
Abstract
In pig breeding, in contrast to dairy cattle breeding, the system of commercial production consists of different levels of breeding work: nucleus, multipliers and industrial producers. To optimize the calculation of economic value, it is necessary to use a methodology that allows us to divide the contribution of a particular level of breeding enterprise, breed and gender of pigs in the profit received from the production of a marketable animal. In this connection, the analysis of changes in the accuracy of the selection index depending on the initial selection and genetic parameters and aggregate genotype was carried out. A composite index, including two traits, was used for stud boars: average daily gain (ADG) and fat thickness (FT). A non-linear dependence of reliability and heritability coefficients was found, with reliability increasing from 5% to 13% as the heritability coefficients increased by 10%, indicating a more reliable estimate for traits with high heritability. It was found that the economic value of the traits had an impact only on the dimensionality of the developed index.
