Due to the absence of accurate pedigree information, it has not been possible to implement genetic evaluations for crossbred cattle in African small-holder systems. Genomic selection techniques that do not rely on pedigree information could, therefore, be a useful alternative. The objective of th...

Short communication: Genomic selection in a crossbred cattle population using data from the Dairy Genetics East Africa Project
Genomic selection on UK dairy goats began in 2015. New traits for selection have evolved
since that time with the addition of new genotypes for the reference population. The
objectives of this study were to define longevity in terms of lifespan and production, to
estimate their heritabilities, an...

Deriving genomic breeding values for feed intake and body weight in dairy goats
The lack of data recording in smallholder dairy cattle system implies that the availability of molecular data could offer some quick wins in terms of using the genomic information in genomic evaluation and therefore genomic selection (GS). Initial studies have reported low to medium accuracy of g...
