BLUPF90 and related programs were developed in the lab of Ignacy Misztal with the purpose of providing comprehensive computing capabilities to problems related to mixed models in animal breeding. See http://nce.ads.uga.edu/~ignacy or http://nce.ads.uga.edu/~shogo for details and documentation. These programs are mostly written in Fortran 90 and have a line-mode interface. DairyPAK, BeefPAK, PigPAK, and ChickenPAK are sets of programs branched from PC-PAK or WinPAK with graphical user interface for simple use in Windows platform. BLUPF90-WinPAK was developed for the specific purpose of dairy, beef, pig and chicken genetic evaluation.

All programs were compiled separately under Microsoft Windows using Visual Fortran version 5.1. All PAKs are run under EXCEL. It manages genetic evaluation using a wizard interface which allows you to create a BLUP report in five steps. Only performance data and pedigrees are required. It will automatically renumber the animals and count the number of effects in the model. After variance component estimation or BLUP analysis is performed, All PAKs will create BV report using the original animal ID. Users can keep data files and program files separately, However directories must be specified prior to analysis. EBV report with accuracy up to four traits and Random regression for ten test days from 5 to 305 BV are available.

Condition of Use : BLUPF90-PCPAK is distributed free of charge for academic researh, teaching or any scientific use under the conditions that it remains copyrighted. The use of any applications and compiled programs from PCPAK must be credited in any publications derived from their usage. For commercial or grant project, personal communication of further agreements is required with any of the authors. There is no guarantee for its correctness and there is no service for user purpose. However, specific questions, constructive criticism and debug reports are invited. Please email to monchai@kku.ac.th
