ESTIMATION OF THE BREEDING VALUE OF THE HANNOVER AND TRAKEHNER BREEDS OF HORSES
Abstract
Algorithms for estimation of the breeding (genetic) value of roadster breeds of horses by variable traits of own performance (development, expert assessment of selected traits) and the progeny quality are developed. The scientific significance of the research results presented in this article lies in the development of the breeding (genetic) value assessment system that does not exist in the country, for the bred roadster horses based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. The practical significance of the developed system is to improve the reliability and the earlier assessment of horses by 2–3 years.
