Abstract Background One of the main limitations of many livestock breeding programs is that selection is in pure breeds housed in high-health environments but the aim is to improve crossbred performance under field conditions. Genomic selection GS using high-density genotyping could be used to address this. However in crossbred populations l effects of SNPs may be breed specific and 2 linkage disequilibrium may not be restricted to markers that are tightly linked to the QTL. In this study we apply GS to select for commercial crossbred performance and compare a model with breed-specific effects of SNP alleles BSAM to a model where SNP effects are assumed the same across breeds ASGM . The impact of breed relatedness generations since separation size of the population used for training and marker density were evaluated. Trait phenotype was controlled by 30 QTL and had a heritability of for crossbred individuals. A .
