Exploring World Angus Evaluation and Its Impact on Genetic Predictions
World Angus evaluation focuses on incorporating diverse environments to strengthen genetic prediction accuracy. Phenotypic databases are crucial for reliable genomic evaluations. The inclusion of various environments in genetic evaluations enhances the predictive tools. Despite differences like weaning weights between countries, similarities in environments exist, leading to genetic differences being observed within contemporary animal groups. This approach allows for testing cattle in different environments, potentially unveiling new interactions between genetics and environment for improved predictions.
