Estimated phenotypic proportions of litter effects l² (on diagonal), correlations between litter effects \({\text{r}}_{\text{l}}\) (above the diagonal), residual environmental correlation \({\text{r}}_{\text{e}}\), (below the diagonal) including their 95% highest posterior density interval (in parentheses), posterior probability of being positive Pr(. > 0) for piglet survival traits and birth weight using a Bayesian multivariate analysis at the piglet level
