From: Optimising multistage dairy cattle breeding schemes including genomic selection using decorrelated or optimum selection indices

Figure 2

Comparison of results when decorrelated (DSI) or optimum selection indices (OSI) were applied. Figure 2(a) shows the genetic gain per year from applying DSI as a proportion of the one from applying OSI. Figure 2(b) shows the genetic gain per generation of different selection paths of breeding schemes that maximise the genetic gain per year given an accuracy and cost of estimated genomic breeding values of 0.75 and of 150 €, respectively, when the proportion of genotyped males is varied along the x-axis and all other parameters were chosen such that the genetic gain per year was maximised; paths "sire-sire" (Δ) "sire-dam" (□) and "dam-sire" (+) calculated with optimum indices, and of the paths "sire-sire" (∇), "sire-dam" (◊) and "dam-sire" (x) calculated with decorrelated indices
