Single-step genomic evaluation of milk production traits in Canadian Alpine and Saanen dairy goats

Single-step genomic evaluation of milk production traits in Canadian Alpine and Saanen dairy goats

ABSTRACT: Genomic evaluations are routine in most plant and livestock breeding programs but are used infrequently in dairy goat breeding schemes. In this context, the purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the single-step genomic BLUP method for predicting genomic breeding values for mi...
