title: [The development and current situation of the methods for genetic evaluation in livestock].
abstract: Genetic evaluation is one of the most important components in livestock breeding program. Best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) Animal Model, which based on phenotypic information,has become the most widely accepted method for genetic evaluation of domestic livestock. Large numbers of molecular genetic markers have been discovered as the development and application of genomics. Some new methods (Marked Assisted BLUP,MBLUP) for genetic evaluation have being developed,which incorporating molecular genetic markers information into genetic evaluation. MBULP will be a rapid and efficient method for genetic evaluation of domestic livestock. The aim of the paper is to introduce the development and current situation of the methods for livestock genetic evaluation.
