Effect of predictor traits on accuracy of genomic breeding values for feed intake based on a limited cow reference population
The genomic breeding value accuracy of scarcely recorded traits is low because of the limited number of phenotypic observations. One solution to increase the breeding value accuracy is to use predictor traits. This study investigated the impact of recording additional phenotypic observations for pre...
