Novel approach to incorporate information about recessive lethal genes increases the accuracy of genomic prediction for mortality traits

The genetic underpinnings of calf mortality can be partly polygenic and partly due to deleterious effects of recessive lethal alleles. Prediction of the genetic merits of selection candidates should thus take into account both genetic components contributing to calf mortality. However, simultaneousl...
