Predicting the purebred-crossbred genetic correlation from the genetic variance components in the parental lines
Abstract Background The genetic correlation between purebred and crossbred performance ( $${r}_{pc}$$ r pc ) is an important parameter in pig and poultry breeding, because response to selection in crossbred performance depends on the value of $${r}_{pc}$$ r pc when selection is based on purebred (PB...
