PPT-Genomic Selection in Dairy Cattle

Dairy Cattle 9 million cows in US Attempt to have a calf born every year Replaced after 2 or 3 years of milking Bred via AI Bull semen collected several timesweek Diluted and frozen Popular bulls have 10000 progeny.

Genomic selection increases selection response by reducing generation interval. Bulls were genotyped first due to cost. Now we have genotypes for many cows.
