Nearly 57,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) genotyped with the Illumina
BovineSNP50 BeadChip (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) were investigated to determine …

Methods for genomic prediction were evaluated for an Israeli Holstein dairy population of
713,686 cows and 1,305 progeny-tested bulls with genotypes. Inclusion of genotypes of 343 …

This study investigated the accuracy of direct genomic breeding values (DGV) using a
genomic BLUP model, genomic enhanced breeding values (GEBV) using a one-step …

Genome-enabled prediction of breeding values using high-density panels (HDP) can be
highly accurate, even for young sires. However, the cost of the assay may limit its use to elite …

This study investigated the reliability of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) in the
Danish Holstein population. The data in the analysis included 3,330 bulls with both …

Genetic selection has been a very successful tool for the long-term improvement of livestock
populations, and the rapid adoption of genomic selection over the last decade has doubled …

Currently, genomic evaluations use multiple-step procedures, which are prone to biases and
errors. A single-step procedure may be applicable when genomic predictions can be …

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of use of the test-day (TD) single-
step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) using phenotypic records of Nordic Red Dairy cows. The …

Genomic selection was adopted very quickly in the 10 yr after first implementation, and
breeders continue to find new uses for genomic testing. Breeding values with higher …

Background Genomic evaluations are rapidly replacing traditional evaluation systems used
for dairy cattle selection. Higher reliabilities from larger genotype files promote cooperation …
