1CORE = all animals have BW, WW, and PW records; MERGED = combines the CORE dataset with animals that have BW and PW recorded, but not individual WW.
2BW= birth weight; WW= weaning weight; PW= probe weight.
3 = direct additive genetic variance; = maternal genetic variance; = common litter variance; = residual variance.
