Extract

The final goal in the most animal breeding programs is increasing of producing ability of the animals. Measuring the GCA and SCA for selecting the superior parents is important. 3-7 additive genes play more important role in the inheritance of some economical characters. Investigation on GCA and SCA of production and reproduction parameters has been showed that amount of SCA is more than that of GCA. Parents' possessing high GCA are generally considered for population development and for initiation of pedigree breeding as it is heritable and can be fixed. SCA consists of nonadditive, dominant effects and other interactions (Ravindra et al, 2003). Since these value are not constant in different regions, thus must be estimated in different countries.
