Abstract

This paper presents a general expression to predict breeding values using animal models when the base population is selected, i.e. the means and variances of breeding values in the base generation differ among individuals. Rules for forming the mixed model equations are also presented. A numerical example illustrates the procedure. ; Cet article présente l’expression générale pour prédire les valeurs génétiques par le modèle animal quand la population de base est sélectionnée, c’est-à-dire quand cette population est un mélange de sous-populations à moyenne et variances génétiques différentes. On présente les règles de construction des équations du modèle mixte. La procédure est illustrée par un exemple numérique.
