Abstract excerpt
Genomic selection (GS) has revolutionized the field of animal breeding by enabling more accurate estimates of breeding values through a more precise assessment of the additive relationships between individuals. For lowly heritable traits, the increase in accuracy was in general modest at best. This is specifically the case for reproductive traits in turkeys which also suffer from a lack of normality of their...
