Article Synopsis
- * This study explores integrating molecular data into genetic evaluation models using molecular pedigree reconstruction and Bayesian clustering to analyze lactation traits in 14 dairy goat herds with incomplete data.
- * Results show a 37.3% increase in genetic relationships by using molecular information, leading to better estimates of genetic variance and heritability, thereby suggesting that simple molecular markers can enhance genetic improvement strategies in under-researched populations.
Detection of unrecorded environmental challenges in high-frequency recorded traits, and genetic determinism of resilience to challenge, with an application on feed intake in lambs.

Background: Resilient animals can remain productive under different environmental conditions. Rearing in increasingly heterogeneous environmental conditions increases the need of selecting resilient animals. Detection of environmental challenges that affect an entire population can provide a unique opportunity to select animals that are more resilient to these events.
