Abstract excerpt

The size of the reference group is among the most critical determinants of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) accuracy. However, small- and medium-sized pig farms often need help accumulating adequate reference data, posing significant challenges to breeding programs. To solve this problem, exploring the potential benefits of combining reference groups of different sizes is necessary to improve GEBV...
