What is Estimated Breeding Value | EBV | What is Transmitting Ability in Animal Breeding

Definition of estimated breeding value (EBV). Difference between EBV and transmitting ability. EBV is a statistical method used to predict the genetic merit of an animal. Estimated breeding value gives an estimate of the genetic potential of an animal for a particular quantitative trait. In animal breeding, EBV is very important for the selection of highly efficient (superior) animals.
