Genetic parameters and genomic prediction of growth and breast morphological traits in a crossbreed duck population

Abstract Genomic selection (GS) has great potential to increase genetic gain in poultry breeding. However, the performance of genomic prediction in duck growth and breast morphological (BM) traits remains largely unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefits of genomic prediction...
