Abstract

Equations for inbreeding coefficient and mean prediction were calculated for a synthetic made with a mixture of single, three-way, and double cross hybrids. As inbreeding and mean predictions for the three types of hybrids was already known, corresponding results for inbreeding and mean prediction for the hybrid mixture were ob¬tained with relative ease.
