Optimized grouping to increase accuracy of prediction of breeding values based on group records in genomic selection breeding programs

Abstract Background Phenotypic records of group means or group sums are a good alternative to individual records for some difficult to measure, but economically important traits such as feed efficiency or egg production. Accuracy of predicted breeding values based on group records increases with inc...
