Local breed proportions and local breed heterozygosity in genomic predictions for crossbred dairy cows

ABSTRACT: For genomic prediction of crossbred animals, models that account for the breed origin of alleles (BOA) in marker genotypes can allow the effects of marker alleles to differ depending on their ancestral breed. Previous studies have shown that genomic estimated breeding values for crossbred...
