Improving genomic prediction accuracy for methane emission and feed efficiency in sheep: integrating rumen microbial PCA with host genomic variation using neural network GBLUP (NN-GBLUP)

Abstract Background Methane emissions from ruminant livestock pose a significant challenge to mitigating climate change. Genomic selection offers a promising approach to reduce methane emissions, but prediction accuracy remains low due to the high cost of measuring methane emissions. Integrating rum...
