Impact of kinship matrices on genetic gain and inbreeding with optimum contribution selection in a genomic dairy cattle breeding program

Abstract Background Genomic selection has increased genetic gain in dairy cattle, but in some cases it has resulted in higher inbreeding rates. Therefore, there is need for research on efficient management of inbreeding in genomically-selected dairy cattle populations, especially for local breeds wi...
