Differences in estimated breeding values of piglet individual birth weight of boars selected on postnatal survival and the correlated selection responses estimated as differences between the high (\({\mathbf{H}}\)) and control (\({\mathbf{C}}\)) in direct (\({\mathbf{D}}\)) and maternal (\({\mathbf{M}}\)) effects of birth weight in crossbred sows and in third-generation piglets originating from different selection scenarios for direct (\({\mathbf{H}}_{{\mathbf{D}}} {\mathbf{C}}_{{\mathbf{M}}} - {\mathbf{C}}_{{\mathbf{D}}} {\mathbf{C}}_{{\mathbf{M}}}\)) or maternal (\({\mathbf{C}}_{{\mathbf{D}}} {\mathbf{H}}_{{\mathbf{M}}} - {\mathbf{C}}_{{\mathbf{D}}} {\mathbf{C}}_{{\mathbf{M}}}\)) effects only or their combination (\({\mathbf{H}}_{{\mathbf{D}}} {\mathbf{H}}_{{\mathbf{M}}} - {\mathbf{C}}_{{\mathbf{D}}} {\mathbf{C}}_{{\mathbf{M}}}\))
