Research Progress on the Application of Genome-wide Selection in Goat Breeding
Genome-wide selection(GS)is a breeding method based on genomic data.By analyzing the relationship between genetic markers and traits,it predicts the genetic and phenotypic values of individuals,thereby achieving precise breeding.With the development of high-throughput sequencing technology,GS has become an important tool in modern livestock and poultry breeding,demonstrating significant potential and application prospects in goat breeding.Researchers use GS to accurately assess the reproductive performance of goats,improve reproductive efficiency,and select superior genotypes to enhance traits such as growth,development and meat quality,thus achieving higher economic benefits.The authors primarily introduce the principles and methods of GS,focusing on its application in key traits such as reproductive performance,growth characteristics and meat quality in goats,discusse the advantages and challenges of GS in goat breeding and provide a summary and outlook on its future development and application.This review aims to offer valuable references and theoretical support for the further advancement of goat breeding.
