Abstract:Background: Empirically assessing the impact of preselection on subsequent genetic evaluations of preselected animals requires comparison of scenarios with and without preselection. However, preselection almost always takes place in animal breeding programs, so it is difficult, if not impossible, to have a dataset without preselection. Hence most studies on preselection used simulated datasets, concluding that subsequent genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) from single-step genomic best linear unbiased pre… Show more
