Genomic Selection for Milk Production Traits in Xinjiang Brown Cattle

Animals, 2022
One-step genomic selection is a method for improving the reliability of the breeding value estimation. This study aimed to compare the reliability of pedigree-based best linear unbiased prediction (PBLUP) and single-step genomic best linear unbiased ...

BREEDING AGAINST CANINE HIP DYSPLASIA IN THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG [PDF]

BAG. Journal of Basic and Applied Genetics, 2022
Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a progressive and disabling disorder in large dog breeds, such as the German Shepherd dog. Breeding sires and dams free of dysplasia is the only way to reduce its incidence.

Comparison of analyses of the QTLMAS XIV common dataset. I: genomic selection [PDF]

, 2011
Background - For the XIV QTLMAS workshop, a dataset for traits with complex genetic architecture has been simulated and released for analyses by participants. One of the tasks was to estimate direct genomic values for individuals without phenotypes.

Possibilities to improve the genetic evaluation of a rare breed using limited genomic information and multivariate BLUP

Animal, 2014
The use of molecular genetic information in the evaluation of livestock has become more common. This study looks at the efficacy of using such information to improve the genetic evaluation of a rare breed of dual-purpose cattle.

Genetic Parameters and Genetic Progress of Growth Traits in a Landrace Pig Population

Guangdong nongye kexue, 2022
【Objective】Four genetic parameters including days to 100 kg (DAYS_100), average daily gain (ADG_100), loin muscle area (LMA_100) and average back fat thickness (BFT_100) at 100 kg body weight in a Landrace pig population were estimated, and the ...

Prediction of genetic gain from quadratic optimisation with constrained rates of inbreeding [PDF]

, 2006
There are selection methods available that allow the optimisation of genetic contributions of selection candidates for maximising the rate of genetic gain while restricting the rate of inbreeding. These methods imply selection on quadratic indices as the
