Glossary

AI or Artificial inseminatio:

deposition of bull semen into the reproductive tract of a female animal, usually after earlier semen collection, dilution, freezing, and storage and subsequent thawing, although some pasture-based systems that is with high seasonal demand use fresh semen. Allows elite males to produce many more offspring than by natural mating.

Breeding goal/objective:

the set of traits which a breeding program is focused on to improve.

Genomic selection:

selection of breeding animals based on the use of genetic markers (usually single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs that are equally spread across the genome) to estimate breeding values. The relationships among SNP genotypes and animal phenotypes are first estimated in a “reference population” of either males with large numbers of daughters with measurements, or cows with their own measurement, in order to estimate breeding values of selection candidates from genotypes only or a combination of genotypes and...
