Abstract excerpt
Identification of allelic variants with economic importance is feasible via molecular genetic techniques. This information can be used to increase the frequency of favourable alleles in dairy cattle. The effect of selection on the genotype within families in the early stages of life is examined. Three different strategies are considered: (1) random mating of bull sires with bull dams and with cows, with embryo...
