EasyNRM: A Visual Basic Application Approach for Computing Numerator Relationship Matrix of Pedigreed Animals
Abstract
The relationship and
inbreeding are special concepts in animal breeding, for this reason, a free of
charge VBA software was developed to calculate the coefficients of relationship
and inbreeding in Microsoft Excel. The tabular method algorithm was implemented
by using pedigree. The software was called as EasyNRM and verified with the
inclusion of bull Comet's pedigree. Finally, the numerator relationship matrix
was created and certified with the results of the literature. It would be
beneficial for EasyNRM to be used by researchers and breeders in estimating the
breeding values of animals.
