Breeding value prediction for production traits in layer chickens using pedigree or genomic relationships in a reduced animal model

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Genomic selection involves breeding value estimation of selection candidates based on high-density SNP genotypes. To quantify the potential benefit of genomic selection, accuracies of estimated breeding values (EBV) obtained with dif...
