OR=Odds ratio, CI=Confidence interval, P=Probability level, PN=Parity number, GL=Gestation length, LS=Litter size, F=Female piglet, M=Male piglet, BO=Birth order, CRL=Crown-rump length, BW=Birth weight, BMI=Body mass index, PI=Ponderal index, BI=Birth interval, CFD=Cumulative farrowing duration, BWD=Birth weight deviation. The p-value, marginal R2 and conditional R2 of the final model were <0.001, 0.184 and 0.241, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test had a p=0.175. Cramer’s V coefficients between selected independent variables ranged between 0.02 and 0.14
