Spatial modelling improves genetic evaluation in smallholder breeding programs
2020-06-02
Abstract excerpt
Breeders and geneticists use statistical models for genetic evaluation of animals to separate genetic and environmental effects on phenotype. A common way to separate these effects is to model a descriptor of an environment, a contemporary group or herd, and account for genetic relationship between animals across the environments. However, separating the genetic and environmental effects in smallholder systems is...
