33. Heritability and genetic correlations of enteric methane emissions of dairy cows measured by sniffers and GreenFeed
Anouk E. van Breukelen,Michael N Aldridge,Roel F. Veerkamp,Lisanne Koning,L.B.J. Sebek,Y. de Haas +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors estimate heritabilities for, and a genetic correlation between, CH4 recorded by GreenFeed and sniffers, and find that CH4 emissions recorded by either device has a moderate heritability (0.18-0.37).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
327. Evaluating the suitability of subjectively defined base populations
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a number of statistics that can be used to evaluate defined base populations, including the number of base animals per base population in one case very low and the available genotype information for different base populations was coming from exactly the same genotyped animals.

Pryce,Oscar González-Recio,Graham Plastow,Christine F. Baes,N. Charfeddine,Y. de Haas,Roel F. Veerkamp,Aniek C. Bouwman +26 more
TL;DR: The authors evaluated the accuracy of biology informed genomic prediction for dry matter intake in 2,162 Dutch Holstein cows and found that selecting sequence variants from meta-analyses including GWAS summary statistics for QTL and metabolomic QTL in several dairy and crossbred beef populations in a five-fold cross-validation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of genomic preselection on subsequent genetic evaluations with ssGBLUP using real data from pigs
Ibrahim Jibrila,Jérémie Vandenplas,J. ten Napel,R. Bergsma,Roel F. Veerkamp,Mario P. L. Calus +5 more
TL;DR: The authors investigated the impact of genomic preselection on accuracy and bias in subsequent single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP) evaluations, using data from a commercial pig breeding program.
Genetic architecture of micro-environmental sensitivity of quantitative traits – application to bovine somatic cell score
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used double hierarchical generalized linear models to predict the genetic risk of disease using a genome-wide approach and showed that the model can accurately estimate the residual variance of residual variance components.
