Modified full-sib selection and estimation of genetic parameters.
A cycle of full-sib selection is completed in three seasons while that of a modified method is completed in two seasons. In modified full-sib selection, selected families can be recombined and new families generated following a partial-diallel cross. The components of genetic variance can be estimated from the partial-diallel analysis of such families. Thus, in addition to performing selection, genetic parameters can be estimated.
