For several reasons (economic superiority of heterozygous ewes, optimization of future genetic progress, etc)., the global genetic values should not be used for selection and the gene effect should be separated from the polygenic effects in the genetic evaluation.
Homogeneous catalysis may be another reason for the superiority of the oil-soluble catalysts Cu(C11H7O2 2 and Mn(C11H7O2 2.
