Abstract
- Computing time and memory requirements increase with single-step methods to estimate genomic breeding values when the number of genotyped animals increases. Computational costs can be reduced by omitting genotypes of animals without phenotype and progeny, often the candidate animals for selection. Indirect prediction of a candidate animal GEBV can be based on the animal’s genotype and SNP marker solutions (DGV). Alternatively, the sum of DGV and residual polygenic (RPG) effect can be computed, denoted GRV (Genomic and Residual polygenic Value). We applied indirect genomic prediction for a 6 trait calving difficulty evaluation. There were 1.50 million genotyped animals of which 36% were considered candidate animals. Based on our results, DGV showed high accuracy but also bias due to omitting the RPG effect. The GRV prediction had high accuracy and low bias. Computing time was reduced by 33%.
