Restructuring breeding programs 2: Assortative mating for improved commercial genetic gain when using optimum contribution selection and diversity introduction.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 27 May 2026

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Commercial breeding programs have two goals: genetic gain in the breeding population and delivering competitive genetic products, like semen, to production farms. Breeding programs must also manage genetic diversity, which reduces short-term genetic gain. Our study aimed to investigate the use of assortative mating to increase the genetic variance of the next generation. The resulting higher genetic...
