Abstract excerpt
A stochastic approach is proposed to predict responses to selection when using alpha(s1)-casein genotype information in a selection scheme of a Spanish breed of dairy goats. Two independent selection objectives were considered: protein yield (PY), where the major additive gene CSN1S1, which codes for alpha(s1)-casein, has a small effect, and protein content (P%), where this gene has a large effect on...
