Genetic parameters for milk production and type traits in North American and European Alpine and Saanen dairy goat populations

The development of an across-country genomic evaluation scheme is a promising alternative for enlarging reference populations and successfully implementing genomic selection in small ruminant populations. However, the feasibility of such evaluations depends on the genetic similarity among the popula...
