Eva-inbred Parameters
For each animal in the input file Eva-inbred calculate inbreeding coefficient, generation coefficient,
and pedigree completeness in a specified number of generations. On top of this relationship among
animals and the contribution of specific animals to specific groups of animals can be calculated.
There are three different possibilities to add contribution lines:
1. Manually by optional text in the quick add box.
2. By animal ids in the quick add box.
3. By using the contribution generator, which let you select the animals to be included in the
computation and then generate all the ancestor/descendant combinations automatically.
Alternatively it is possible to calculate the additive genetic relationship for ancestor animals to
another group of animals by inserting an Ancestor in the Ancestor field and then select group from
the Ancestor/Group drop down box as show below. Setting the Ancestor value to 0 (zero) and the
Group value e.g. to 2008 (last year in input data file), computes average genetic contributions of all
ancestors (animals with unknown parents) to all animals in year-group 2008 and will generate the
maximum genetic contribution result. Please note that his can only be done for the last birth time
group.
