The application of the selection process through simulation had allowed farmers to study the test results, theoretical verification, and genetic evaluation of a proposed strategy in theory before the breeding program would be actually deployed. SIMF90P is a simulation program for validating the purpose of the most genetic response based on a terminal line index along with the feed conversion ratio (FCR), days to market weight (DAY) and percent lean (PCL).The empirical standard deviations of true breeding value (TBV) were closed to the predicted value which calculated by theoretical equation in all traits. The simulation program resulted high accuracy which composed of 0.72, 0.86, and 0.87 for PCL, FCR, and DAY respectively. The regression coefficient of genetic trend between average true and estimated breeding value (Avg-TBV and Avg-EBV) was similar for PCL and FCR and also nearly unbiased for DAY. In conclusion, this software could be applied to the swine genetic improvement to test the selection strategies.
