Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In dairy cattle, current genomic predictions are largely based on sire models that analyze daughter yield deviations of bulls, which are derived from pedigree-based animal model evaluations (in a two-step approach). Extension to animal model genomic predictions (AMGP) is not straightforward, because most of the animals that are involved in the genetic evaluation are not genotyped. In single-step...
