This first survey on Sardinian Anglo-Arab horse (SAA) race traits highlights important aspects for the breeding purpose of this population. The heritability of the race traits were estimated through a trivariate model; the estimates were 0.39, 0.33, and 0.30 for the number of placings, total earnings and Elo rating, respectively. The genetic progress could be improved by using an MT genetic evaluation of stallions and mares, combining information from competition traits.
这项关于撒丁岛英阿拉伯马(SAA)竞赛性状的首次调查突出了该种群育种目的的重要方面。通过三变量模型估计了竞赛性状的遗传力;名次数量、总收入和Elo评分的遗传力估计值分别为0.39、0.33和0.30。通过对种公马和母马进行MT遗传评估,结合竞赛性状信息,可以提高遗传进展。
