Genomic predictions for crossbred dairy cows by combining solutions from purebred evaluation based on breed origin of alleles.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic predictions have been applied for dairy cattle for more than a decade with great success, but genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) are not widely available for crossbred dairy cows. The large reference populations already in place for genomic evaluations of many pure breeds makes it interesting to use the accurate solutions, in particular the estimated marker effects, from these evaluations for...
