Abstract excerpt
In multibreed populations, bulls need to be evaluated for additive and nonadditive genetic effects. When the nonadditive genetic effects associated with a bull are defined as sire x breed-group-of-dam interactions, they can be expressed as linear combinations of interactions between alleles of one or more breeds at one or more loci. If these specific allelic interactions are assumed to be independent, then...
