BLUPF90-PCPack





	1. DairyPack is a set of programs in BLUPF90 family with a specific purpose for dairy cattle evaluation.
						8. Genetic trend report is also created if require. All graphic properties can be modified using general Excel features.




	2. DairyPack performs variance estimation using REML and BLUP analysis with wizard interface.
						9. Estimates variance under random regression model provides heritability plot against DIM.



	3. BLUP analysis can be done directly with true variance or variance ratio. In addition, re-estimate variance components with REML or AIREML can also apply.

						10. Previous renumbered data and pedigree file with parameter file can be modified and reanalysis.



	4. If random regression model is interested, three day in milk function of Wilmink, LeGendre and Schaeffer and Dekkers can be selected.

						11. BV reports for single trait, multiple trait or random regression from previous solutions from DairyPack or another BLUP family can be recreated with specified options.



	5. Original data and pedigree files are used in the analysis. Therefore, all effects in the model are simply specified by column number in data file.

						12. Multiple trait BV reports with accuracy can be created up to 4 traits.



	6. BLUP report with accuracy is created with original ID in Excel format. Therefore, sorting, filtering can simply perform using Excel functions.
						13. For random regression model, BV report in 10 test day from 5 to 305 day in milk. Therefore, BV for each sire can be plot against DIM later with Excel chart.

	7. If REML or AIREML is performed. New variance estimates are kept in separate file.
