Both lines consisted of about 20 males and 60 females since parents in each generation and each female duck was tested 3 times at 26 29 and 32 weeks of age. The fertile eggs were measured by candling at day 7 of incubation. The selection criterion in the S line was the BLUP animal model value for F. On average of the females and 15 of the males were selected. The direct responses to the selection for F and correlated responses for the number of eggs set Ie the number of total dead embryos M the maximum duration of fertility Dm and the number of hatched mule ducklings H were measured by studying the differences across the generations of selection between the phenotypic value averages in the S and C lines. The predicted genetic responses were calculated by studying the differences between the S and C lines in averaged values of
