Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate the applicability and efficiency of genomic selection for growth and carcass traits in Nordic beef cattle, single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) was applied in 4321 Charolais and 4532 Hereford animals with information on approximately 43,000 SNPs each. Statistics including dispersion value (b1), accuracy ratio and the relative accuracy improvement were estimated for genotyped female animals...
