Abstract Accuracy of prediction of yet-to-be observed phenotypes for food conversion rate FCR in broilers was studied in a genome-assisted selection context. Data consisted of FCR measured on the progeny of 394 sires with SNP information. A Bayesian regression model Bayes A and a semiparametric approach Reproducing kernel Hilbert Spaces regression RKHS using all available SNPs p 348l were compared with a standard linear model in which future performance was predicted using pedigree indexes in the absence of genomic data. The RKHS regression was also tested on several sets of pre-selected SNPs p 400 using alternative measures of the information gain provided by the SNPs. All analyses were performed using 333 genotyped sires as training set and
