  1. DG, average daily gain; BF, backfat thickness, A, model includes the additive effect; AD, model includes additive and dominance effects; AI, model includes additive and imprinting effects; ADI, full model includes additive, dominance and imprinting effects
  2. aReliability of the predicted total genetic value \((r_{GTV}^{2} )\), reliability of the estimated additive genetic effect \((r_{GBV}^{2} )\) and P value (in parentheses if significantly higher than with the A model)
