Abstract excerpt
Reliably identifying breed proportions in crossbred cattle in smallholder farms is a crucial step to improve mating decisions and optimizing management in these systems. High-density genotype information is able to estimate higher-order breed proportions accurately, but, are too expensive for mass application in smallholder systems. We used high-density genotype information (777 k SNPs) of 623 crossbred cattle...
