Trait = weight at 6 weeks (W6W), weight growth slope (WGS), body length (BL), percentage of CD8+ cells (%CD8+), ratio between CD4+ and CD8+ cells (CD4+/CD8+).
σ2u: additive genetic variance ; σ2c: variance due the random environmental effect of cage; σ2e: residual variance; h2: heritability (standard error, SE, in brackets).
