Single‐Step Breeding Value Estimations and Optimum Contribution Selection in Endangered Dual‐Purpose German Black Pied Cattle (DSN) Using a Breed Specific SNP Chip

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aims of the present study were to perform single‐step genomic predictions in the dual‐purpose German Black Pied cattle (DSN) breed considering a DSN specific SNP chip (DSN_200 K), and to use the corresponding estimated breeding values (EBV) in ongoing optimum genetic contribution (OGC) selection.

Effect of Transformation of Non‐Normal Fitness Trait Data on the Estimation of Genetic Parameters in Turkeys

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fitness traits described as a ratio often display non‐normal distributions; consequently, transformations are frequently applied to improve normality prior to the estimation of genetic parameters. However, the impact of different transformations on genetic parameter estimates depends on the dataset at hand.

Genetic Trends for Production and Reproduction Traits in Ultrafine Merino Sheep of Uruguay

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic trends were estimated for production and reproduction traits in an Uruguayan Merino genetic nucleus. Two consecutive periods with different selection objectives were studied. During the first period (1999–2010), the selection objective of this flock focused on reducing fibre diameter (FD), while allowing for a slight loss in clean ...
