    Area of Science:

    • Animal Breeding and Genetics
    • Quantitative Genetics

    Background:

    • Determining male breeding worth is crucial in animal breeding.
    • Conventional progeny testing relies solely on the main trait, potentially limiting accuracy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of incorporating auxiliary traits into progeny testing.
    • To develop a generalized sire index for improved breeding worth estimation.

    Main Methods:

    • Derivation of a general expression for progeny test selection accuracy.
    • Development of a generalized sire index.
    • Numerical investigation using one auxiliary trait and varying correlation scenarios.

    Main Results:

    • Inclusion of auxiliary traits consistently increases progeny test accuracy.

  • Maximum accuracy gain is achieved when phenotypic and additive genetic correlations have opposite signs.
  • Auxiliary traits reduce the number of progeny needed, lowering program costs.

    • Conclusions:

    • Auxiliary traits offer a significant advantage over conventional progeny testing methods.
    • The proposed generalized sire index enhances selection accuracy.
    • This approach optimizes breeding programs by reducing costs and improving efficiency.
