Table 2.

Variance and heritability values estimated from the genomic relationship matrix calculated using HD genotypes

Breed Phenotype Genetic variance Residual variance h2 (SE)a
Normande 0/1 0.12 0.12 0.51 (0.15)
0/1/2 0.21 0.20 0.52 (0.15)
Holstein 0/1 0.14 0.10 0.57 (0.09)
0/1/2 0.29 0.21 0.57 (0.09)

aNote that these heritability estimates are likely to be strongly overestimated, due to the selection of extreme phenotypes (see Discussion)
