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 on...
