NOTE

Exploring Genetic Selection and Environment Interactions in Cattle

The focus of research is on genotype and environment interactions in cattle breeding, where genetic evaluations and EPDs assume uniformity across locations but practical experience shows the impact of environment on genetic traits. This interaction is known as G by E, which explores how genetics and breeding values vary by location. The research aims to understand the differences in genetic outcomes across environments, identify animals that perform consistently in various conditions, and assess predictability of traits across different locations. The study also delves into phenotypic stability, aiming to select individuals that perform consistently well across diverse environments.
