Studies on the value of incorporating the effect of dominance in genetic evaluations of dairy cattle, beef cattle and swine

The aim of this study was to augment the approximate multitrait method proposed by [4, 8] with a time effect to account for selection bias in predicted breeding values and

Furthermore, herd coef- ficients of genetic similarity revealed a large proportion (more than 30%) of FRA herds disconnected from other populations, and in all non-random

Nonetheless, the pattern in genetic variance for susceptibility to bTB when estimated with a threshold animal model in the present study was similar to that observed for Johne’s

Summary - A very simple breeding scheme for milk yield was generated by a Monte- Carlo method in order to evaluate the potential impact of bovine somatotropin (BST)

These genomic regions harbored several candidate genes (full gene names of all gene sym- bols are in Table S2 [See Additional file: 1 Table S2]) in- cluding SPATA6 and FAAH in

Although there is a low number of herds considered at the top of the structure, the estimates of the effective number of herds supplying sires, grand sires and
