Breeding value prediction with maternal genetic groups.
For models with only additive direct genetic effects, the rules of Westell combined with the Q-P transformation can be used to calculate the coefficients of mixed-model equations corresponding to the inverse elements of the numerator relationship matrix and group effects that are used to account for selection on ancestors that do not have records. Groups generally can be assigned on the basis o...

متن کاملGenomic breeding value prediction: methods and procedures.
Animal breeding faces one of the most significant changes of the past decades - the implementation of genomic selection. Genomic selection uses dense marker maps to predict the breeding value of animals with reported accuracies that are up to 0.31 higher than those of pedigree indexes, without the need to phenotype the animals themselves, or close relatives thereof. The basic principle is that ...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for a maternal breeding goal in beef production.
New maternal breeding values have been developed for use in UK beef evaluations. To undertake multitrait BLUP evaluations, it is necessary to have a full covariance matrix. This study outlines the approach taken to construct the full covariance matrices for the four beef breeds that most widely contribute to suckler beef cows in the United Kingdom. The maternal traits investigated were age at f...
متن کاملBest Linear Unbiased Prediction of Performance and Breeding Value
Introduction Genetic progress in traits of economic importance has been impressive during the past few decades. This has been due to a combination of (1) selection, primarily on additive genetic merit, (2) changes in breed structure, and (3) crossbreeding; the relative importance of these factors varying from species to species. This paper is concerned with the first of these factors and is res...
