Marker-based and pedigree-based inbreeding coefficients f and estimated inbreeding depression parameter b (piglets per 100% of inbreeding) in different scenarios for each breed

L Y LY
Marker-based inbreeding coefficient f a 0.695 (0.019) 0.698 (0.020) 0.565 (0.012)
Pedigree-based inbreeding coefficient f b 0.111 (0.032) 0.078 (0.031) 0
Nogen (b) −4.821 −3.561 0
Gen_AM (b) −9.656 −1.924 −5.122
Gen_ADM (b) −9.731 −1.878 −5.055

The inbreeding coefficient is the mean inbreeding coefficient across individuals within each breed

Numbers between brackets are the standard deviations of the mean inbreeding coefficient

For Nogen, the inbreeding depression parameter b is the regression of phenotype on pedigree-based inbreeding. For Gen_AM and Gen_ADM, the inbreeding depression parameter b is the regression of phenotype on marker-based inbreeding

aCalculated as the proportion of homozygous loci per individual

bCalculated as in Meuwissen and Luo [41]
