| The identification of economically sensitive traits is a critical step in the breeding process as it defines the direction of the breeding program. Quantifying how each trait affects the profitability of the production system further increases the efficiency of a breeding program. Production activities are ultimately aimed at maximising the level of consumer satisfaction with the product concerned which is, in turn, relfected by the profitability of the growing and processing stages of the production process. In that regard, breeding objectives need to be consistent with maximising the profitability of the farm production sector by producing genotypes with improved performance. By assigning economic weights to different traits, genotypes with differing... |
