1: standard errors of estimates are presented between parenthesis; AgFiKid: age at first kidding in months; Int12Kid: interval between first and second kiddings in months; Int3toKid: interval between second, third, and remaining kiddings in months; IntAllKid: interval between all kiddings in months; σa2: additive genetic variance; σpe2: permanent environmental variance; σe2: residual variance; h2: heritability; t: repeatability.
