Invited review: Genomic selection for small ruminants in developed countries: how applicable for the rest of the world?

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Jul 2018

Abstract excerpt

Improved management and use of estimated breeding values in breeding programmes, have resulted in rapid genetic progress for small ruminants (SR) in Europe and other developed countries. The development of single nucleotide polymorphisms chips opened opportunities for genomic selection (GS) in SR in these countries. Initially focused on production traits (growth and milk), GS has been extended to functional...
