Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of genomic predictions of growth traits in Nellore cattle. Data from 5064 animals belonging to farms that participate in the Conexão DeltaGen and PAINT breeding programs were used. Genotyping was performed with the Illumina BovineHD BeadChip (777,962 SNPs). After quality control of the genomic data, 412,993 SNPs were used. Deregressed EBVs (DEBVs) were...
