Breed of origin of alleles and genomic predictions for crossbred dairy cows

Abstract Background In dairy cattle, genomic selection has been implemented successfully for purebred populations, but, to date, genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for crossbred cows are rarely available, although they are valuable for rotational crossbreeding schemes that are promoted as effi...
