Circumstances in which pedigree selection is performed/useful

  1. Pedigree selection is practiced when the breeder wants to select the individuals before they reach productive age or when the production performance of the individual is not available.
  2. It can be practiced for the traits, which are expressed later in life. Eg. carcass traits.
  3. It is useful when the selection is for sex-limited traits eg. Milk production.
  4. The pedigree can be used as a guide for the preliminary selection of sires for progeny testing.
  5. Pedigree information is cheap to use.
