Impact of sub-setting the data of the main Limousin beef cattle population on the estimates of across-country genetic correlations

Abstract Background Cattle international genetic evaluations allow the comparison of estimated breeding values (EBV) across different environments, i.e. countries. For international evaluations, across-country genetic correlations (r g ) need to be estimated. However, lack of convergence of the esti...
