Abstract excerpt
This study compared the abilities of virgin heifer genomically enhanced breeding values (GEBV) and parent average breeding values (PA) to predict future cow performance. To increase confidence in genomic technology among farmers, a clear demonstration of the relationship between genomic predictions and future phenotypes is needed. We analyzed 12 different traits in first parity, including production,...
