  1. Recurrent selection in poultry Dr. Jay Prakash Gupta Associate Professor, Animal Genetics & Breeding Bihar Veterinary College BASU, Patna Bihar - 800014

  2. Recurrent Selection : Introduction Recurrent selection was proposed by Jerkins (1940) for improving GCA in plant It was further modified by Hull (1945) to utilize the specific combining ability Definition: Recurrent selection is defined as reselection generation after generation, with inter-mating of selected animals/ birds to produce the population for the next cycle of selection.

  3. Recurrent Selection : Procedure Here a highly inbred line is selected as tester Tester line Large number of individuals of a source population are tested in crosses with this tester line, known to have good GCA. There will be selection of male and female of the source population on the basis of their cross progeny of tester line performance. Cross bred progeny are not used further for breeding

  4. Recurrent Selection : Procedure The selected individuals from source population are mated again and again among themselves to produce next generation of complementary stock of the tester inbred line. This cycle is repeated several generations till maximum progress is achieved By this method the GCA of only one line and SCA of cross are improved Practical difficulty is to produce and maintain highly inbred tester line.
