Estimation of pedigree errors in the UK dairy population using microsatellite markers and the impact on selection.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Sept 2002

Visscher P M, Woolliams J A, Smith D, Williams J L

Abstract excerpt

The proportion of cows in the UK dairy herd whose sires were misidentified was estimated using DNA markers. Genetic marker genotypes were determined on 568 cows (from 168 milk samples and 400 hair samples) and 96 putative sires (from semen samples). The estimated pedigree error rate from the hair samples was 8.8%, and from the milk samples, 13.1%, giving an overall estimate of the error rate of 10%. This level of...
