  1. Numbers between brackets are the standard errors of the corresponding parameters
  2. \(r_{PC}\) is the genetic correlation of breeding values between purebred and crossbred performances within the Landrace or Yorkshire breeds; \(H_{P}^{2}\) is the broad sense heritability for purebred performance for the Landrace and Yorkshire breeds in different scenarios
