MateSel can be used to select which rams and ewes to mate to make genetic gain whilst managing genetic diversity and inbreeding. This program uses pedigree, index and ASBV information directly from the Sheep Genetics database. MateSel will provide mating allocations by submitting a list of possible sires and ewes, information about your breeding program (e.g., how many times a sire can be used), your breeding objective, as well as any constraints on inbreeding and co-ancestry. MateSel is free to use for all Sheep Genetics clients, however training and the passing of an assessment is required.
For more detailed information, visit the MateSel page on the Sheep Genetics website. A link to this will be provided upon completion of this module.
