CRUMBLER: a tool for the prediction of ancestry in cattle.
In many beef and some dairy production systems, cross breedingis used to take advan-tage of breed complementarity and heterosis. Admixed animals are frequently identified by their coat color and body conformation phenotypes, however, without pedigree informa-tionit is not possible to identify the expected breed composition of an admixed animal and in the presence of selection, the actual composition may differ from expectation.
