SelAction
SelAction is a computer program that supports the design of animal breeding programs. The program predicts response to selection for multiple traits and rates of inbreeding for practical livestock improvement programs. To keep computation time short, SelAction uses deterministic simulation so that it can be used as an interactive optimisation tool. This software makes state-of-the-art theory on breeding programs available as a user-friendly tool for livestock breeding companies, breeding organisations for companion animals and scientists.
There are two types of licences for SelAction. For commercial purposes, a commercial licence can be purchased, whereas for non-commercial purposes, a non-commercial licence can be obtained by paying an administration fee. Further details on features of SelAction and on the licence conditions are in the pdf-files below.

Problems with decimal symbol settings
The error "´´ is not a floating point value" can be caused by incompatible settings of the decimal symbol. Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Regional Settings, choose the 'Number' tab-sheet, and change 'Decimal symbol' to . (dot) and 'Digit grouping symbol' to , (comma).
