Abstract

dairy cattle breeding programs worldwide, because potentially increases genetic gains and lowers costs. A question is how efficient is this technology for developing breeding programs in dairy populations with small numbers of recorded cows. An additional question is whether the incorporation of foreign genetic evaluations is a way to overcome some limitations in these populations Predicted genetic gain from use of genomic selection and foreign genetic evaluations in a small Holstein population Hugo H.
