QUESTION
Individual selection can’t be done for the following trait….?
OPTIONS
(A) Milk yield
(B) Dressing percentage
(C) Body weight
(D) Body length
ANSWER
(B) Dressing percentage
EXPLANATION
Individual selection is not directly applicable to dressing percentage as a practical selection criterion in a live animal because dressing percentage is determined after slaughter and therefore cannot be measured on the candidate before selection. Milk yield, body weight and body length can be measured directly on living individuals.
