Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The study explored the accuracy and biases of genomic selection in two commercial Pekin duck lines, focusing on their performance under real-world breeding practices. A dataset of 26 K duck records with phenotype and imputed genotype information (60 K chip) was analysed for growth, welfare, and primary feather length traits. Mixed linear models with relationship matrices from pedigree (BLUP) or...
