Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, crossbred animals have begun to be used as parents in the next generations of dairy and beef cattle systems, which has increased the interest in predicting the genetic merit of those animals. The primary objective of this study was to investigate three available methods for genomic prediction of crossbred animals. In the first two methods, SNP effects from within-breed evaluations are used...
