BENEFITS
The value and advantages of using markers are: Improvements in the genetic structure of the production and breeding sectors, improvement in the estimation of genetic value, improving the accuracy of genetic evaluation, the ability to genotype juveniles long before measurement of the phenotype, the ability to associate traits which are not currently part of the selection criterion, the ability to evaluate traits that are already part of the selection criterion, pedigree verification, and confirmation of relatedness (molecular tracking as opposed to physical tagging). Marker assisted selection programs significantly reduces the time required within any breeding program to detect and incorporate quantitative trait loci for economic benefit, whether this gain occurs at the hatchery or farm level.
 
Greater Revenues
  Production Increases from Improved Trait Expression

More Efficient Operation
  Information Based Breeding Selection
  Accelerated Genetic Improvement Driven by Genomics

Higher Degree of Process Control for Production
  Reduction in Applications & Management Cost for Breeding and Production
  Production with Consistency

Stabilization of Production
  Sustainability and Growth
