Talk:Foundation Animal Effects: Difference between revisions

From BIF Guidelines Wiki

: I'm trying to think of what the recommendation would include. I've tried to outline a list here. 1) If foundation animals are from different breeds of origin or believed to differ in genetic merit BIF recommends fitting of additive genetic groups, metafounders, or covariates to account for these differences. 2) Selection decisions should be taken on the combined genetic merit of individuals (EPD and group effect estimates). What have I missed?

BIF Recommends? -- Bruce L. Golden (talk) 03:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Do we need a solid BIF recommends statement/section here?

I'm trying to think of what the recommendation would include. I've tried to outline a list here. 1) If foundation animals are from different breeds of origin or believed to differ in genetic merit BIF recommends fitting of additive genetic groups, metafounders, or covariates to account for these differences. 2) Selection decisions should be taken on the combined genetic merit of individuals (EPD and group effect estimates). What have I missed?

I think that's sufficient. I'll make that change.

You mention procedures for fitting groups are well described. Should we include a reference?

Metafounders -- Mspangler (talk) 13:12, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

You mention IBD. For anyone that were to actually do this, my guess is that they would almost have to use IBS relationships. Worth mentioning?

This seems to be for multi-trait evaluations.
