2. International genomic evaluation of Brown Swiss and Holstein dairy cattle : multi-trait vs. single-trait approach
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : International genomic evaluation for Brown Swiss population known as InterGenomics, was officially launched in 2011 by Interbull Center in Uppsala, Sweden. The routine evaluation is currently carried out using a single-trait approach where estimated breeding value from multi-trait across countries evaluation (MACE EBV) are used as a dependent variable and genetic corre-lations are assumed to be equal to one between countries.

3. Low heritability-high variance controversy for dairy cattle disease traits
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Traits with low heritability estimates such as health and fertility are often assumed to have low genetic variance. However, the heritability is a ratio of additive genetic variance over all variance, and thus, the genetic variation of these traits may only be proportionally small. READ MORE
