EBVs can only be compared from the same genetic evaluation
نویسنده
چکیده
Genetic evaluation systems like PIGBLUP use information on the performance of pigs along with environmental and management factors to derive Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) for each animal. In contrast to the observed performance of an animal, EBVs are not expressed in absolute values but are expressed as a difference from a base value. This base often consists of the oldest animals included in the genetic evaluation but any group of animals could be set to be the base.

Applying different genomic evaluation approaches on QTLMAS2010 dataset
BACKGROUND With the availability of high throughput genotyping, genomic selection, the evaluation of animals based on dense SNP genotyping, is receiving more and more attention. Several statistical methods have been suggested for genomic selection. Compared to traditional selection, genomic selection can be more accurate which can lead to higher efficiency in terms of time and cost. Herein we a...
متن کاملApproximate prediction error covariances among multiple estimated breeding values for individuals
INTRODUCTION Today’s genetic evaluation schemes involve models comprising multiple, correlated additive genetic effects for each animal. These can be multi-trait (MT) models or random regression (RR) models which model trajectories in traits recorded repeatedly per animal through a set of RR coefficients. Often we are interested in linear functions of the resulting breeding value (EBV) estimate...
متن کاملSelection of Sahiwal Cattle Bulls on Pedigree and Progeny
The objective of the study was to compare ranking of Sahiwal bulls selected on the basis of highest lactation milk yield of their dams with their estimated breeding values (EBVs) using an animal model. Data on 23,761 lactation milk yield records of 5,936 cows from five main Livestock Experiment Stations in Punjab province of Pakistan (1964-2004) were used for the study. At present the young A.I...
متن کاملRandom Regression Models Are Suitable to Substitute the Traditional 305-Day Lactation Model in Genetic Evaluations of Holstein Cattle in Brazil.
The aim of this study was to compare two random regression models (RRM) fitted by fourth (RRM4) and fifth-order Legendre polynomials (RRM5) with a lactation model (LM) for evaluating Holstein cattle in Brazil. Two datasets with the same animals were prepared for this study. To apply test-day RRM and LMs, 262,426 test day records and 30,228 lactation records covering 305 days were prepared, resp...
متن کاملEstimated Breeding Values for Canine Hip Dysplasia Radiographic Traits in a Cohort of Australian German Shepherd Dogs
Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a serious and common musculoskeletal disease of pedigree dogs and therefore represents both an important welfare concern and an imperative breeding priority. The typical heritability estimates for radiographic CHD traits suggest that the accuracy of breeding dog selection could be substantially improved by the use of estimated breeding values (EBVs) in place of sel...
