Publication Date: | 2009 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/6160 | Abstract: | The short term benefits of applying whole genome selection to sheep breeding programs are estimated. If breeding values of all objective traits can be predicted with accuracy equal to the square root of heritability, genomic selection could increase overall response for a terminal sire index by about 30%, and a fine wool merino index by about 40%. Response is relatively more increased for those traits that are normally not measured on breeding animals. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAABG 2009: 18th Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Barossa Valley, Australia, 27th September - 1st October, 2009 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, v.18, p. 38-41 | Publisher: | Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics (AAABG) | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISSN: | 1328-3227 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830311 Sheep - Wool 830310 Sheep - Meat |
