Journal ArticleDOI
Marker-assisted breeding value estimation for mastitis resistance in Finnish Ayrshire cattle
TL;DR: Combining data of genotyped and ungenotyped animals in a large pedigree population using either identical-by-descent (IBD) or identical- by-state (IBS) haplotypes for some previously identified QTL regions for somatic cell score and clinical mastitis in Finnish Ayrshire cattle showed greater accuracy and predictive ability than conventional breeding value estimation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avoiding preselection bias in subsequent single-step genomic BLUP evaluations of genomically preselected animals.
TL;DR: In this article, the minimum information required to subsequently evaluate genomically preselected animals without bias arising from preselection, with single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP), was established.
Guidelines to measure individual feed intake of dairy cows for genomic and genetic evaluations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines on the recording and handling of feed intake records and provide some guidelines on proper statistical modelling and usefulness of existing data are needed to identify how many records are required and what are the most informative animals for measuring feed intake.
The impact of genomic selection and short generation interval on dairy cattle breeding programms
TL;DR: The uptake of genomic selection in dairy cattle in recent years has been very high because thousands of bulls that have been progeny tested in the last decades are available as a reference population with very reliable phenotypes, leading to genomic EBVs with high reliabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection and Drift: A Comparison between Historic and Recent Dutch Friesian Cattle and Recent Holstein Friesian Using WGS Data
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated genomewide genetic diversity between a group of historic and recent Dutch Friesian bulls and a groups of recently used Holstein Friesians.
