Table 3.
Estimated inbreeding depression (b) for the 3 growth traits using 2 models
| Trait 2 | b 1 | |
|---|---|---|
| MG3 | MGD3 | |
| BW | −0.480 (0.195) | −0.476 (0.207) |
| WW | −10.225 (1.510) | −9.998 (1.588) |
| PWG | −10.695 (1.900) | −10.230 (2.036) |
1Inbreeding depression estimates are expressed as the change in phenotypic mean (kg) per 10% increase in inbreeding (SE are in parenthesis).
2BW, birth weight; WW, weaning weight; PWG, postweaning gain.
3MG, model including only additive effects; MGD, model including both additive and dominant effects.
