Novel optimum contribution selection methods accounting for conflicting objectives in breeding programs for livestock breeds with historical migration

Novel optimum contribution selection methods accounting for conflicting objectives in breeding programs for livestock breeds with historical migration

Abstract Background Optimum contribution selection (OCS) is effective for increasing genetic gain, controlling the rate of inbreeding and enables maintenance of genetic diversity. However, this diversity may be caused by high migrant contributions (MC) in the population due to introgression of genet...
