Validation of genomic predictions for a lifetime merit selection index for the US dairy industry.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Nov 2020

Fessenden Brenda, Weigel Daniel J, Osterstock Jason, Galligan David T, Di Croce Fernando

Abstract excerpt

Selection indices are a critical component of many breeding programs. A common purpose of a selection index is to predict an animal's genetic potential for total economic merit. The objective of this study was to evaluate retrospectively whether a specific selection index comprising genomically-enhanced predicted transmitting abilities had the ability to predict observed lifetime profit in US Holstein animals....
