Predictors are estimated breeding values (EBV) for natural antibodies (NAb) (EBVNAb) and EBV for resilience indicators (natural logarithm-transformed variance [ln(variance)], skewness, and autocorrelation) (EBVresilience indicator). Predictors were tested as one covariate (i.e. EBVNAb or EBVresilience indicator) and two covariates (i.e. EBVNAb and EBVresilience indicator). The total lesion score is the sum of scores (0-3) for the left thoracic air sac, the right thoracic air sac, the pericardium, and the serosal surface of the liver. Shown is the regression coefficient β and the p-value of the regression coefficient.
