The model was built using @Risk software using quantitative risk analysis. Estimates of crossbreeding parameters were fitted with normal distribution functions as the model inputs. Sets of available population means were used as model target values. The standard deviations of the predicted means from the target values for all structured crossbreeding systems using up to 4 breeds were compared to predefined risk threshold criteria. This appeared to be a good approach to estimating robust, balanced trait parameters. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAABG 2003: 15th Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Melbourne, Australia, 7-11 July, 2003 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, v.15, p. 290-293 | Publisher: | Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics (AAABG) | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISSN: | 1328-3227 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830311 Sheep - Wool 830310 Sheep - Meat |
