Conteúdo: 	Basis for predicting the performance of rotation crosses from the performance of single-crosses and of the parent breeds or lines, and where the number of lines or breeds does not exceed four, were presented. Although these rest on various assumptions no epistasis is the only assumption that might seriously affect the results. The findings indicate that rotational breeding offers an even greater advantage to breeders than the crossing of several breeds or lines followed by random mating. These also enable the breeder to predict which breeds or lines and what order of rotation will give maximum performance in the rotational program.
