BREEDPLAN: 40 years of accelerating genetic progress in the beef industry

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article

Abstract

BREEDPLAN estimated breeding values (EBVs) were first published in 1985, the analysis having continuously evolved ever since. BREEDPLAN currently analyses over 15 million animals, including more than 1 million DNA profiles included in single-step BREEDPLAN genomic evaluations. This paper reviews some of the major enhancements to BREEDPLAN over the last 40 years, including the introduction of additional EBVs for a wide range of production traits, the introduction of BreedObject selection indexes, and the inclusion of genomic information culminating with the implementation of single-step BREEDPLAN.
