Estimating the purebred-crossbred genetic correlation of body weight in broiler chickens with pedigree or genomic relationships

BACKGROUND: In pig and poultry breeding programs, the breeding goal is to improve crossbred (CB) performance, whereas selection in the purebred (PB) lines is often based on PB performance. Thus, response to selection may be suboptimal, because the genetic correlation between PB and CB performance ([...
