Title: | The Effect of Using Genomic Breeding Values to Manage the Loss in Response to Selection Caused by Genotype by Environment Interactions | Contributor(s): | Clark, Sam A (author) ; Brown, Daniel (author); Van Der Werf, Julius H (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/18736 | Abstract: | Genotype by environment (GxE) interaction can reduce genetic gain because there is often insufficient information for accurate selection in each environment. Genomic selection may be a useful method to reduce the impact of GxE interaction as measurement in different environments may be propagated over more selection candidates. We compared the value of testing the performance of relatives and/or genomic breeding values across environments to increase genetic gain when GxE was present. Selection based on genomic breeding values (GEBVs), that were calibrated in the commercial environment and 60% accurate, increased genetic gain by 14% over recording 20 half siblings in that environment. When GEBVs were 80% accurate they were equivalent to testing 20 Progeny in the commercial environment. Even when the breeding objective was for performance in two environments, it was more beneficial to use a GEBV based on information from the commercial environment. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | WCGALP 2014: 10th World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production, Vancouver, Canada, 17th - 22nd August, 2014 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the 10th World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production (WCGALP) (Genetic Improvement Programs: Breeding objectives, economics of selection schemes, and advances in selection theory (Posters)), p. 1-4 | Publisher: | American Society of Animal Science | Place of Publication: | Champaign, United States of America | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300305 Animal reproduction and breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830301 Beef Cattle | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100401 Beef cattle | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | https://asas.org/docs/default-source/wcgalp-posters/409_paper_9916_manuscript_1079_0.pdf |
