Article Synopsis
- Model-based accuracy in genetic evaluations is influenced by prediction error variance (PEV) and inbreeding coefficient (F), but ignoring inbreeding can lead to significant errors.
- Ignoring inbreeding in reliability calculations and in the pedigree relationship matrix A results in skewed estimates, especially in rabbits, where inbreeding increases substantially over generations.
- The study emphasizes the necessity of incorporating inbreeding in both settings to improve the accuracy of BLUP and SSGBLUP evaluations for various animal populations.
