The study on estimated breeding value and accuracy for economic traits in Gyoungnam Hanwoo cow (Korean cattle) [PDF]
This study was conducted to construct basic data for the selection of elite cows by analyzing the estimated breeding value (EBV) and accuracy using the pedigree of Hanwoo cows in Gyeongnam. The phenotype trait used

Genome-association analysis of Korean Holstein milk traits using genomic estimated breeding value [PDF]
Objective Holsteins are known as the world’s highest-milk producing dairy cattle. The purpose of this study was to identify genetic regions strongly associated with milk traits (milk production, fat, and protein) using Korean Holstein data.

Estimation of prediction error variances via Monte Carlo sampling methods using different formulations of the prediction error variance [PDF]
Calculation of the exact prediction error variance covariance matrix is often computationally too demanding, which limits its application in REML algorithms, the calculation of accuracies of estimated breeding values and the control of variance of ...

Simultaneous Effects of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms on the Estimated Breeding Value of Milk, Fat, and Protein Yield of Holstein Friesian Cows in Hungary [PDF]
This study aimed to find SNPs that have an effect on the estimated breeding values (EBVs) of milk (MY), fat (FY), and protein yield (PY) of Holstein Friesian cows in Hungary. Holstein Friesian cows (n = 2963) were genotyped on a Eurogenomics (EuroG_MDv4)

Selective genotyping to implement genomic selection in beef cattle breeding
Genomic selection (GS) plays an essential role in livestock genetic improvement programs. In dairy cattle, the method is already a recognized tool to estimate the breeding values of young animals and reduce generation intervals.

Body condition score (BCS) is a known risk factor for cow health and well-being. Many different BCS scales and systems for assessment exist;while the scales used for assessing BCS vary, differences in how BCS is assessed (i.e., visual versus visual plus ...

Breeding value estimation with incomplete marker data [PDF]
Incomplete marker data prevent application of marker-assisted breeding value estimation using animal model BLUP. We describe a Gibbs sampling approach for Bayesian estimation of breeding values, allowing incomplete information on a single marker that is linked to a quantitative trait locus.

The characteristics of bovine satellite cells with highly scored genomic estimated breeding value
Background: The grading of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) is based on four economic traits, and efforts have been continuously made to improve the genetic traits associated with these traits.
