Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dairy cattle production systems are mostly based on purebreds, but recently the use of crossbreeding has received increased interest. For genetic evaluations including crossbreds, several methods based on single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP) have been proposed, including metafounder ssGBLUP (MF-ssGBLUP) and breed-specific ssGBLUP (BS-ssGBLUP). Ideally, models that account for...
