Means within a factor with different superscript capital letters differ significantly (p < 0.05)

nd not included in model due to non-significance in stepwise regression analyses

aStatistical analysis carried out using breed as fixed class variable and only fixed significant SNPs derived from stepwise regression analysis

bLs-means with standard error (SE) are estimated using statistical models by considering only significant factors

cRegression coefficients with standard error (SE) are estimated by considering all variables in the model; bold is a significant effect of SNPs on Type III analysis

dThe variable breed placed always in the first position in model
