Table 4.
Results of the animal models. VA = additive genetic variance. VM = maternal effect variance. VR = residual variance (always fixed at 1). h2 = heritability. DIC = deviance information criterion. Values for variance components are posterior means, with lower and upper 95% credible intervals in parentheses.
