Modal values of random variance components (Vf, Micro; Vm, maternal effects; Va, additive genetic effects; Vr, residual variance), proportion of maternal variance (m2), and narrow sense heritability (h2) estimates including their 95% highest posterior density (HPD) intervals are reported from animal models fit in a Bayesian MCMC framework. Supported model effects for each trait animal model are indicated with the presence of an ’x’ in the effect column for the row trait, where fixed effects are indicated with italicized type.
