- Abstract
- Depuis 1985 a débuté au Bénin le programme d’élevage en captivité étroite et de sélection génétique d’une race d’aulacode d’élevage. Le premier quinquennat d’activité a distingué 2 sous populations, sur base des performances zootechniques mesurées. Toutefois, ce premier schéma de sélection a présenté des imperfections et il a fallu concevoir et appliquer un nouveau schéma dès 1991 qui consiste en une pyramide triangulaire à 3 niveaux : le Noyau, le Multiplicateur et le Producteur. Le critère de ...

- Since 1985 began in Bénin the captive breeding and improvement program of the larger grasscutter. First years later, two sub-populations were established, basing on the zootechnic performances. Nevertheless, this first selection scheme presented some imperfections, reason why a new scheme vas conceived and applied in 1991. It consists in a triangular pyramid at 3 levels: the Nucleus, the Multiplier and the Producer. For selecting the quantitative characters, the criteria were (i) for males: the ...
