BW0, BW7, BW14, BW21, BW28, BW35, BW42, BW49, BW56, BW63, BW70, BW77, BW84, and BW90 represented body weight at hatching, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84 and 90 d of age, respectively. ADG14, ADG28, ADG42, ADG56, ADG70, and ADG84 represented average daily gain at 1–14 d, 15–28 d, 29–42 d, 43–56 d, 57–70 d, and 71–84 d, respectively. BMW, LMW, and WW represented breast muscle weight, leg muscle weight and wing weight, respectively.
For BW63, only 224 of the 489 individuals had trait observations.
