Abstract excerpt
Missing pedigrees may produce bias in genomic evaluations. Thus, strategies to deal with this problem have been proposed as using unknown parent groups (UPG) or truncated pedigrees. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of modeling missing pedigrees under single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP) evaluations for productive and reproductive traits in dairy buffalo using different...
