Table 6.
Estimate (SE) and P-value for the effect of average parent WUR10000125 (WUR) genotype for index traits of commercial crossbred progeny
| Trait | Raw trait mean | SD | ASE1 | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DFI2 | 2,332.2 | 255.9 | 9.80 (28.93) | 0.73 |
| BFE3 | 13.9 | 2.7 | 0.59 (0.32) | 0.07 |
| TGR4 | 894.6 | 86.7 | 3.90 (11.61) | 0.73 |
| LGR5 | 552.0 | 48.0 | 2.59 (6.03) | 0.66 |
1ASE = allele substitution effect: average WUR genotype of the parents where genotype was coded as the number of copies of the B allele.
2DFI = daily feed intake: recorded in grams per day from start to end of the finishing period.
3BFE = backfat: recorded as fat depth at the end of the finishing period in millimeters.
4TGR = test daily gain: expressed in grams of weight gain per day from start to end of the finishing period.
5LGR = lifetime daily gain: expressed in grams of weight gain per day from birth to end of the finishing period.
