Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic mating (GM) can effectively control the growth rate of inbreeding in population and achieve long-term sustainable genetic progress. However, the design of GM method and assessment of its effects during long-term selection have not been fully explored in beef cattle breeding. RESULTS: In this study, we constructed a simulated population based on the real genotypes of Huaxi cattle, where five...
