Standard errors are given in parantheses.

1 CONV = conventional breeding strategy without genotyping.

2 W-FAM = genomic selection with marker effects estimated within full-sib families and combined with conventional BLUP family breeding values when 100% of the candidates were pre-selected.

3 GS_POP = genomic selection with marker effects estimated population wide and no pre-selection.

4 A trait measured on the selection candidates themselves.

5 A trait measured on full-sibs of the selection candidates.
