Validation of genomic predictions for body weight in broilers using crossbred information and considering breed-of-origin of alleles

BACKGROUND: Pig and poultry breeding programs aim at improving crossbred (CB) performance. Selection response may be suboptimal if only purebred (PB) performance is used to compute genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) because the genetic correlation between PB and CB performance ([Formula: see t...
