Abstract excerpt
Genomic evaluations are calculated using deregressed predicted transmitting abilities (PTA) from traditional evaluations to estimate effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms. The direct genomic value (sum of an animal's marker effects) should be consistent with traditional PTA, which is the case for bulls. However, traditional PTA of yield traits (milk, fat, and protein) for genotyped cows are higher than their...
