Abstract / Description of output
The Desired Gains Index enables breeders to intuitively quantify their breeding objectives in terms of desired genetic gains (i.e., desired response to selection)
• It facilitates the efficient simultaneous improvement of multiple quantitative traits in a breeding population without the need for economic weights, which are usually unknown and difficult to obtain.
• The Desired Gains Index is as efficient as the Smith-Hazel Index and maximises the expected genetic gains in proportion to the desired gains set by the breeders
