Abstract
The rate of selection response in maternal traits is predicted with a BLUP approximation allowing an assessment for a wide range of genetic parameters and data recording schemes. The method exploited Willham model separating the direct and maternal effect in the analysis. It is accommodating the changes in genetic (co)variances due to selection. The focus is on uniparous species yielding a simple situationand on the benefits of augmenting the sib information with cousin information under commonly found antagonistic correlation between the effects. There is indication that the cousin information brings qualitative benefits to the approximation.
