Abstract excerpt
Improving the accuracy of genetic evaluation in smallholder dairy systems is essential for sustainable productivity. However, traditional polygenic models (PM) are often constrained by incomplete pedigree, heterogeneous management, and limited genotyping resources. This study evaluated a genomic-polygenic model (GPM) relative to a PM using data from a multibreed dairy population raised under Thai tropical...
