Genomic prediction of survival time in a population of brown laying hens showing cannibalistic behavior

Table 4 Inputs used to estimate response to selection and rate of inbreeding using SelAction

Input	Progeny testing	Genomic selection
Selected proportion for males	8 %	2 %
Selected proportion for females	8 %	8 %
Generation interval for males	99 weeks	33 weeks
Generation interval for females	55 weeks	55 weeks
Information used for males	Parental average, progeny (40)	Own^a
Information used for females	Parental average	Own^a
Number of sires (dams)	20 (400)	20 (400)

Genetic parameters required for SelAction were taken from the results presented in Table 5 (see below), averaged over both lines
^aOwn indicates that the selection candidates are genotyped
