  1. The standard errors are those reported by MTG2. The smallest standard errors per trait are in italic. Models used a relationship matrix based on pedigree (PED), based on pedigree ignoring dams of CB animals (PED_BOA), based on marker genotypes (GEN), or based on marker alleles with sire origin (GEN_BOA)
