Numbers between brackets are the standard errors of the corresponding parameters

rPC is the genetic correlation of breeding values between purebred and crossbred performances within the Landrace or Yorkshire breeds; HP2 is the broad sense heritability for purebred performance for the Landrace and Yorkshire breeds in different scenarios
