Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different genomic prediction approaches on the predictive ability for meat tenderness in Nellore cattle. Phenotypic (n = 73,286), pedigree (n = 4,141,892) and genomic (n = 15,300) data from animals belonging to the genetic improvement program of the National Association of Breeders and Researchers (ANCP) were used. Six models were tested: (1) standard ssGBLUP...
