  1. 1 MS is an estimate of the within-family variance due to Mendelian sampling. 2 PT_EBV is assumed to be the best estimate of MS. MS Proportion is the proportion of the within-family variance in PT that is captured by the EBV (GEBV or PA EBV);
  2. 3 Average of all 3 traits (milk, fat and protein yield).
