Assessment of long-term trends in genetic mean and variance after the introduction of genomic selection in layers: a simulation study

Nucleus-based breeding programs are characterized by intense selection that results in high genetic gain, which inevitably means reduction of genetic variation in the breeding population. Therefore, genetic variation in such breeding systems is typically managed systematically, for example, by avoid...
