Managing the risk of comparing estimated breeding values across flocks or herds through connectedness: a review and application

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Comparing predicted breeding values (BV) among animals in different management units (<it>e.g. </it>flocks, herds) is challenging if units have different genetic means. Unbiased estimates of differences in BV may be obtained by assigning base animals...
