[QUOTE="simme, post: 1727232, member: 40418"] Initial EPD's for CE, BW, WW, YW for a non-parent animal in the ASA will have an accuracy of around 20%. Submitting samples for genomic testing will increase the accuracy to around 40%. Genomic testing increases the accuracy about as much as 25 progeny would. ASA registration certificates for animals having enhanced EPD's from genomic testing have [B]GE[/B] on the certificate. From ASA: "[B][I]An important fact: [/I][/B][I]while genomic tests add accuracy to low accuracy animals, they can never replace reporting phenotypic data. For genomics to continue to have value, it is vital that breeders continue to submit quality phenotypic data.[/I]" [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.simmental.org/site/index.php/learning-library/dna-genomics/genomics[/URL] [/QUOTE]
