| Trait | CJA | Pos (cM) | LOD | Support interval borders (cM) | Number of significant SNPs | |

| Low | High | |||||
| Aerococcus | 3 | 12 | 4.00** | 0 | 19 | 16 |

Pos: positions in cM of 5% (**) and 10% (*) genome-wide significant QTL on Coturnix japonica chromosomes (CJA), with LOD score test statistics (LOD) and the corresponding QTL support intervals (SI), in cM. SI_low and SI_high represent the beginning and the end of the SI, respectively, and significant SNPs (p ≤ 0.05) are obtained from the SNP-trait association analysis. The corresponding genetic linkage map can be found in Vollmar et al. [18]
