ALGORITHM OF PAIR SELECTION OF DAIRY CATTLE
There was developed an algorithm of pair selection of dairy cattle based on various information sources with the aim of increasing genetic potential of productivity in herds. The main criteria of selection are the following: control of inbreeding rate, projection of breeding value in terms of milk yield, content of fat and protein in milk of a proband. The selection can be based on one, two or three productivity traits. Three variants of reserving servicing bulls for breeding stock (cows and heifers) are the result of selection.
