In breeding programmes, the genetic selection process is based on the prediction of animal breeding values, and its results may vary according to the employed selection method. The current study developed an economic ...

Most Argentinean forests have been lost by over exploitation and expansion of agricultural areas. The National breeding program for the native species Prosopis alba is still in its initial phase with only a few progeny ...

Genomic selection is becoming a standard tool in livestock breeding programs, particularly for traits that are hard to measure. Accuracy of genomic selection can be improved by increasing the quantity and quality of data ...

Genomic evaluations are useful for crossbred as well as purebred populations when selection is applied to commercial herds. Dairy farmers had already spent more than $1 million to genotype over 32,000 crossbred animals ...
