Abstract excerpt
This study investigated using imputed genotypes from non-genotyped animals which were not in the pedigree for the purpose of genetic selection and improving genetic gain for economically relevant traits. Simulations were used to mimic a 3-breed crossbreeding system that resembled a modern swine breeding scheme. The simulation consisted of three purebred (PB) breeds A, B, and C each with 25 and 425 mating males...
