Abstract excerpt
Genomic prediction in beef cattle is particularly challenging in breeds with limited phenotypic and genotypic data. In this context, multi-breed methodologies that integrate information from genetically related populations have emerged as a promising strategy to improve prediction accuracy and calibration under data-scarce conditions. This study evaluated different genomic prediction approaches in a multi-breed...
