Predicting heterosis for egg production traits in crossbred offspring of individual White Leghorn sires using genome-wide SNP data

BACKGROUND: The development of a reliable method to predict heterosis would greatly improve the efficiency of commercial crossbreeding schemes. Extending heterosis prediction from the line level to the individual sire level would take advantage of variation between sires from the same pure line, and...
