Table 1 Number of cows (N), mean, standard deviation (SD), corrected phenotypic standard deviation (\({\varvec{\upsigma}}_{{\mathbf{p}}}\)), genetic standard deviation (\({\varvec{\upsigma}}_{{\mathbf{a}}}\)) and heritability (h2) for all evaluated traits

From: Inbreeding depression due to recent and ancient inbreeding in Dutch Holstein–Friesian dairy cattle
