Short communication: Genomic selection in a crossbred cattle population using data from the Dairy Genetics East Africa Project
Due to the absence of accurate pedigree information, it has not been possible to implement genetic evaluations for crossbred cattle in African small-holder systems. Genomic selection techniques that do not rely on pedigree information could, therefore, be a useful alternative. The objective of this...
