2Additive effect of WUR.
3Dominance effect of WUR.
4BFE = backfat: recorded as fat depth at the end of the test period (approximately 120 kg) in millimeters.
5DFI = daily feed intake: recorded in grams per day from start to end of the test period.
6TGR = test daily gain: expressed in grams of weight gain per day from start to end of the test period. There was suggestive evidence (P = 0.07) of a significant effect of WUR × porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) vaccination status (PRRS_Vacc). P-values for the effect of PRRS_Vacc × contrasts fitted to obtain the additive effect of WUR (WUR_add) and PRRS_Vacc × contrasts fitted to obtain the dominance effect of WUR (WUR_dom) were P = 0.85 and P = 0.17, respectively.
7NonVx = nonvaccinated: pigs were not vaccinated for PRRS.
8Vx = vaccinated: pigs were vaccinated for PRRS.
9A significant effect of WUR × line (P = 0.004) was detected. P-values for the effect of WUR_add × line and WUR_dom × line were P = 0.01 and P = 0.96, respectively.
10LGR = lifetime daily gain: expressed in grams of weight gain per day from birth until end of the test period.
11A significant effect of WUR × line (P = 0.004) was detected. P-values for the effect of WUR_add × line and WUR_dom × line were P = 0.02 and P = 0.85, respectively.
