Calus M, Goddard M, Wientjes Y, Bowman P, Hayes B
J Dairy Sci . 2018 Mar; 101(5):4279-4294. PMID: 29550121
Genomic prediction is applicable to individuals of different breeds. Empirical results to date, however, show limited benefits in using information on multiple breeds in the context of genomic prediction. We...

J Dairy Sci . 2017 Sep; 100(11):9103-9114. PMID: 28865857
Given the interest of including dry matter intake (DMI) in the breeding goal, accurate estimated breeding values (EBV) for DMI are needed, preferably for separate lactations. Due to the limited...
