Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nellore cattle play an important role in beef production in tropical systems and there is great interest in determining if genomic selection can contribute to accelerate genetic improvement of production and fertility in this breed. We present the first results of the implementation of genomic prediction in a Bos indicus (Nellore) population. METHODS: Influential bulls were genotyped with the Illumina...
