Pooling animals with extreme phenotypes can improve the accuracy of genetic evaluation or provide genetic evaluation for novel traits at relatively low cost by exploiting large amounts of low-cost phenotypic data from animals in the commercial sector without pedigree (data from commercial ranches, feedlots, stocker grazing or processing plants). The average contribution of each animal to a pool is inversely proportional to the number of animals in the pool or pool size. We constructed pools with variable planned contributions from each animal to approximate errors with different numbers of animals per pool. We estimate pool construction error based on combining liver tissue, from pulverized frozen tissue mass from multiple animals, into eight sub-pools containing four animals with planned proportionality (1:2:3:4) by mass. Sub-pools were then extracted for DNA and genotyped using a commercial array. The extracted DNA from the sub-pools was used to form super pools based on DNA concentration as measured by spectrophotometry with planned contribution of sub-pools of 1:2:3:4. We estimate technical error by comparing estimated animal contribution using sub-samples of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Overall, pool construction error increased with planned contribution of individual animals. Technical error in estimating animal contributions decreased with the number of SNP used.

ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui kemajuan seleksi tandem dan independent culling level selama tiga siklus di lahan kering dan mengetahui rerata daya hasil dan stay-green (brangkasan segar) populasi hasil seleksi dibanding dengan populasi awal dan varietas unggul Lamuru. Percobaan dirancang dengan rancangan acak kelompok, 3 blok di lahan kering Lombok Utara. Data dianalisa dengan analisis sidik ragam pada taraf nyata 5 persen. Rata-rata kemajuan seleksi per siklus setiap cara, diperoleh dari koefisien regresi antara karakter dengan siklus seleksi (populasi). Rerata perlakuan, diuji lanjut dengan BNT0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, bahwa kemajuan seleksi per siklus kedua cara hingga siklus ketiga untuk daya hasil dan brangkasan segar bersifat linear yang nyata. Besarnya kemajuan seleksi per siklus daya hasil secara tandem dan independent culling level berturut-turut 2,19 dan 2,74 g/tan; sedangkan untuk brangkasan segar sebesar 6,86 dan 13,77 g/tan. Rerata daya hasil dan bobot brangkasan segar, populasi hasil seleksi siklus ketiga kedua cara lebih besar dibanding  populasi awal. Daya hasil populasi hasil seleksi independent culling level siklus ketiga lebih besar dibanding varietas Lamuru; namun populasi hasil seleksi tandem sama. ABSTRACT             The objective of this research was to determine the progress of tandem and independent culling level selections until the three cycles on dry land and determine the mean grain yield and stay - green of selected plant populations compared with the base population and Lamuru superior variety. The experiment was designed using randomized block design with 3 replicates in North Lombok dry land.  The observed data were analyzed using analysis of variance and LSD at the 5 percent significance level. The average of selection progress per cycle each way was obtained from the regression coefficient between the observed characters and the selection cycle (population). The results of the research showed that the progress of selection per cycle until the third cycle for yield (dry grain seed weight) and fresh biomass for both ways were significant linear. The selection progress of yield potential for tandem selection and independent culling level  were 2,19 dan 2,74 g/tan respectivelly. The selection progress of biomass weight were 6,86 dan 13,77 g/tan for tandem selection and independent culling level. Mean of yield potential and fresh biomass weight for two ways were higher base population. Yield  population  of independent culling level selection three cycles were higher than Lamuru variety; but population result of tandem selection as the same.

A multi-variate animal model Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) on milk, fat and protein yields in different lactations, as different traits, is the optimum method for genetic evaluation in dairy cattle for production. However, this is computationally demanding and usually a repeatability model is performed separately for milk, fat and protein yields. A simulation study by Visscher (1991) showed that the repeatability model on canonical transformed yield rather than on observed yield was a better approximation to a multi-variate analysis using selection index. The aim of this study is to verify, using an animal model, the efficiency of the repeatability model relative to a multi-variate analysis on observed or transformed yields.
