Abstract excerpt
By using genome-wide markers to predict an individual's genetic potential, the introduction of Genomic Selection (GS) has transformed animal breeding. This greatly accelerated selection for complex traits by lowering reliance on drawn-out field trials, allowing for faster genetic gains in livestock. However, there is little research on the effects of genomic selection on Sahiwal cattle in India, and comparing it...
