Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cattle international genetic evaluations allow the comparison of estimated breeding values (EBV) across different environments, i.e. countries. For international evaluations, across-country genetic correlations (rg) need to be estimated. However, lack of convergence of the estimated parameters and high standard errors of the rg are often experienced for beef cattle populations due to limited...
