Adding cows to the reference population makes a small dairy population competitive.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Sept 2014

Thomasen J R, Sørensen A C, Lund M S, Guldbrandtsen B

Abstract excerpt

Small dairy breeds are challenged by low reliabilities of genomic prediction. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of including cows in the reference population for small dairy cattle populations with a limited number of sires in the reference population. Using detailed simulations, 2 types of scenarios for maintaining and updating the reference population over a period of 15yr were investigated: a turbo scheme...
