Abstract excerpt
The availability of genomic marker panels has made possible more precise estimates of breeding values. Sheep breeding programs are implementing genomic selection. In Latxa dairy sheep breed, a previous study using pre-corrected data and a small number of genotyped animals did not show a clear advantage of genomic selection. The objective of the present study was to ascertain the possible benefits of GS for the...
