Abstract excerpt
In accordance with the infinitesimal model for quantitative traits, a very large number of genes affect nearly all economic traits. In only two cases has the causative polymorphism been determined for genes affecting economic traits in dairy cattle. Most current methods for genomic evaluation are based on the "two-step" method. Genetic evaluations are computed by the individual animal model, and functions of the...
