Sentence examples for purebred training from inspiring English sources

In Scenario 1, both lines A and B had their own purebred training population (separate).

Thus, scenarios with crossbred training did not require an additional generation compared to purebred training to create the training population.

In Scenario 2, animals from both breeds A and B were combined into a single purebred training population (combined).

Within each pure breed, 1000 randomly selected animals from generation 8 of step 3 were used as the purebred training population for prediction of additive and dominance effects.

Since most recorded animals are purebred, training on crossbred data is seldom an option using NCE data and is limited to those few breed associations that collect crossbred data.

In this paper, we discuss the potential of using genomic technologies in the commercial beef industry, either for selection (cow/calf producers) or for management (feedlot managers or stocker operators that sort cattle based on genetic potential), by developing and validating genomic prediction models for carcass traits in the absence of pedigree or purebred training data.

The conservancy performs genetic tests to ensure animals are indeed purebred, organises training courses for new farmers and helps owners avoid inbreeding – a serious risk for such small populations of animals.

In this study, generation interval was the same for all scenarios with purebred or crossbred training.

As a reference, accuracy of predicting breeding value in a purebred line when training was in the same line is given in Table 4.

Therefore, the first objective of our study was to compare response to selection of crossbreds by simulating a two-way crossbreeding program with either a purebred or crossbred training population under a dominance model.

Thus, the accuracy of prediction of purebred B animals with training in an ABxCD cross was similar in accuracy to that for purebred B animals with training in an ABxC cross (Tables 2 and 3).
