Summarising the latest developments in genomics relating to animal breeding values and design of breeding programmes, this new edition includes models of survival analysis, social interaction and sire and dam models, as well as advancements in the use of SNPs in the computation of genomic breeding values UR - https://doi.org/10.1079/9781780643915.0000 UR - https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/action/showBook?doi=10.1079%2F9781780643915.0000 ER -
