Sire evaluation for total number born in pigs using a genomic reaction norms approach.
In the era of genome-wide selection (GWS), genotype-by-environment (G×E) interactions can be studied using genomic information, thus enabling the estimation of SNP marker effects and the prediction of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for young candidates for selection in different environments. Although G×E studies in pigs are scarce, the use of artificial insemination has enabled the d...
متن کاملApplication of single step genomic BLUP under different uncertain paternity scenarios using simulated data
The objective of this study was to investigate the application of BLUP and single step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) models in different scenarios of paternity uncertainty with different strategies of scaling the G matrix to match the A22 matrix, using simulated data for beef cattle. Genotypes, pedigree, and phenotypes for age at first calving (AFC) and weight at 550 days (W550) were simulated using h...
متن کاملShort communication: Use of young bulls in the United States.
The availability of genomic evaluations since 2008 has resulted in many changes to dairy cattle breeding programs. One such change has been the increased contribution of young bulls (0.8 to 3.9 yr old) to those programs. The increased use of young bulls was investigated using pedigree data and breeding records obtained from the US national dairy database (Beltsville, MD). The adoption of genoty...
متن کاملPotential of Cytoplasmic Effects for Selection in Dairy Cattle
Maternal cytoplasmic inheritance may cause an upward bias in heritabili ty estimates from daughter on dam regression. Inaccurate evaluations of bulls or dams of future sires would result if such estimates were used in genetic evaluation. Expected genetic selection differential for bulls would be overestimated, but genetic gain would be little affected by incorrect heritabili ty estimates. Genet...
متن کاملAccuracy of Genomic Evaluations of Juvenile Growth Rate in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) Using Genotyping by Sequencing
Cyprinids are the most important group of farmed fish globally in terms of production volume, with common carp (Cyprinus carpio) being one of the most valuable species of the group. The use of modern selective breeding methods in carp is at a formative stage, implying a large scope for genetic improvement of key production traits. In the current study, a population of 1,425 carp juveniles, orig...
