1. DO NOT ROUND OFF YOUR ANSWERS PREMATURELY. Use the unrounded and complete values when computing for the genetic gain; 2. Upon encoding, all final answers should be rounded-off to TWO decimal places. Examples: 3.5798 = 3.58, 0.0079 = 0.01, 0.00000008 = 0.00; 2. Report your answers as NUMERIC VALUES only. Please exclude the units; 3. Write ONLY one answer for each question. Avoid using "or", "/", "&" and "and". Provide only what is asked to you; 4. AVOID using unnecessary PUNCTUATIONS (., ? 1;; etc.), SYMBOLS (<> [] {} etc.) and SPACES (before or after your answer). Please follow these instructions carefully. Prediction of Genetic Gain. If the milk yield of a herd of cow is 6,479 kg while those kept for breeding is 6,890 kg, and the h2 estimate of milk yield is 0.85. And the generation interval of dairy cattle is 4 years. What will be the expected genetic gain in the milk yield (kg/year) of the next generation?
