64. Single-step genomic prediction for metabolic body weight of Nordic Red dairy cattle

Animal board invited review: Genomic-based improvement of cattle in response to climate change

“…At least the correlated traits are often recorded routinely. For instance, Kempe et al (2022) reported a cross-validation reliability of 0.86 when using singlestep genomic breeding values for metabolic BW in Nordic Red dairy cattle. In practice, reliable genomic predictions for metabolic efficiency traits would allow for increasing genetic progress in feed utilisation.…”
