Implementation of Metafounders in the Genomic Prediction for the Polled Trait in Brahman Cattle Using a Multi‐Breed Population
ABSTRACT The absence of horns (polled trait) in cattle is associated with better animal welfare by reducing the need for dehorning. In Brahman cattle, population size and the scarcity of phenotypic records challenge the accuracy of genomic predictions for this trait. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic architectur...
