Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A common measure employed to evaluate the efficacy of livestock improvement schemes is the genetic trend, which is calculated as the means of predicted breeding values for animals born in successive time periods. This implies that different cohorts refer to the same base population. For genetic evaluation schemes integrating genomic information with records for all animals, genotyped or not, this is...
