Abstract excerpt
Genomic selection (GS) has revolutionized animal breeding and accelerated genetic gains in breeding programs. Although GS has become common in cosmopolitan dairy cattle breeds, its implementation in local breeds has begun only more recently, or is still in progress. However, the introduction of GS in some cosmopolitan breeds has also been associated with increased inbreeding rates, raising concerns about the...
