  1. NBA12 = number of born alive piglets at two first parities; NBA3+ = number of born alive piglets at third and subsequent parities; SD: standard deviation; SE: standard error; h2= heritability; p2= permanent environmental effect; γ g = genetic correlation coefficient of NBA12 and NBA3+; γ p = correlation coefficient between permanent effects of NBA12 and NBA3+
