    Abstract/Description
    The accuracy of genetic prediction when pedigree ( P A ) or pedigree and marker-based ( PM A ) relationships were used in mixed model equations was assessed. Daughter yield deviations (DYD) records for milk, fat and protein yields on Holstein sires (n = 1,811) with DNA marker information were analysed. Three sets of estimated breeding values (EBV) were obtained: (1) EBV-ALL (considered all sources of information and the inverse of), (2) EBV-PED (similar to EBV-ALL but the sire’s own DYD was excluded), and (3) EBV-MRK (similar to EBV-PED except that the inverse of was used). Linear and rank correlations were computed between EBV-ALL and EBVPED or EBV-MRK. The accuracy increased by 4.3% for milk yield but did not change for fat and protein yields when was replaced by for sires without sons. These results suggest that genetic markers may be used to enhance accuracy in genetic evaluation particularly for young animals.
