Designed and implemented a robust experimental framework utilizing Reciprocal Recurrent Crossing in white plumage quails.
Collected extensive data on egg production, reproductive, and growth traits across all study populations, forming the basis for genetic selection.
Developed and deployed a novel selection index equation, optimizing pedigree selection for enhanced genetic traits.
Executed multi-generational selection over seven generations, employing progeny tests to validate genetic improvements and selection responses.
Analyzed complex genetic and phenotypic correlation data using R, deriving critical genetic estimates.
Quantified key genetic parameters, including selection intensity, selection differential, selection response, realized heritability, and repeatability, to assess genetic progress.
Conducted Principal Component Analysis and formulated a predictive equation for growth, enhancing understanding of complex trait interactions.
