　　INTRODUCTION Genomic selection has been demonstrated to be a powerful technology that is expected to revolutionize animal breeding through the use of dense markers covering the whole genome.genome. However, different marker density and minor allele frequency can affect the predictive ability of genomic breeding values (GEBVs).MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we estimated GEBVs for average daily gain (ADG), live weight (LW) and carcass weight (CW) in 1059 Simmental beef cattle using the bovine HD SNP Beadchip.
