Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) holds great promise for genomic breeding value prediction in livestock and poultry, yet its application in layer breeding remains limited. METHODS: In this study, we used whole-genome resequencing data from 834 Wenshui Luhua Green-Shelled (WLGS) laying hens to predict genomic breeding values for eight egg production and egg quality traits using multilayer perceptron (MLP), random...
