Abstract excerpt
Accurate genomic predictions of breeding values for traits included in the selection indexes are paramount for optimizing genetic progress in populations under selection. The size of the reference populations is a major factor influencing the accuracy of genomic predictions, which is even more important for lowly heritable traits, such as fertility and reproduction indicators. Combining data from different...
