TL;DR: The results suggest that relatively rapid genetic gain for these traits is possible if selection intensities are high and differences among stocks and levels of domestication between years are suggested as possible explanations for such variation.

TL;DR: A simple procedure which involves two separate lines and line crossing every third generation is presented and the advantages are increased genetic performance and reduced rate of inbreeding.
Abstract: Selective breeding is a complex problem. A simple procedure which involves two separate lines and line crossing every third generation is presented. The advantages are increased genetic performance and reduced rate of inbreeding. The procedure and theory are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the need to avoid inbreeding, which can lead to loss of the breeding population.
