Selective advantage of implementing optimal contributions selection and timescales for the convergence of long-term genetic contributions

BACKGROUND: Optimal contributions selection (OCS) provides animal breeders with a framework for maximising genetic gain for a predefined rate of inbreeding. Simulation studies have indicated that the source of the selective advantage of OCS is derived from breeding decisions being more closely align...
