Leveraging data from commercial cattle for genetic improvement- an international perspective.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic evaluations are predicated on routine access to large quantities of data on a range of performance traits from individual animals, their genetic relationships, as well as data on factors other than additive genetic merit that influence phenotypic performance. Based on the well-established breeding pyramid, far more commercial animals generally exist relative to seedstock animals. Despite this, performance...
