Livestock Production Management- ICAR JRF/SRF 2024

Statement Based

Given below are two statements

Statement (I) : Breeding value indicates additive genetic merit of individual animal

Statement (II) : Breding value of highly heritable of traits is always high

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true. Correct Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false. Statement (I) is false but Statement ({I) is true.

Statement (I) is True: The Breeding Value ($A$) of an animal is defined as the value of the individual as a genetic parent; it reflects the sum of the average additive effects of all genes transmitted to its offspring.
Statement (II) is True: For highly heritable traits ($h^2 \gt 0.40$), the phenotypic value of an individual is a reliable indicator of its underlying breeding value ($EBV = h^2 [P - \bar{P}]$). Therefore, superior phenotypes possess high breeding values.

Correct option: (1) Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
