Abstract excerpt
Currently, the US Department of Agriculture Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory utilizes a multi-step procedure in genomic evaluations for US Holstein bulls and cows, with adjustments for cows. We used a single-step procedure to investigate whether adding cows' genotypes could increase reliability in genomic breeding values for bulls while minimizing bias. The first data set to 2007 was used to calculate...
