Accounting for dominance to improve genomic evaluations of dairy cows for fertility and milk production traits

BACKGROUND: Dominance effects may contribute to genetic variation of complex traits in dairy cattle, especially for traits closely related to fitness such as fertility. However, traditional genetic evaluations generally ignore dominance effects and consider additive genetic effects only. Availabilit...
