  1. BiW birth weight, WW weaning weight, PWG post-weaning gain, \({F}_{PED}\) total pedigree inbreeding, \({F}_{GRM}\) genomic relationship matrix derived inbreeding, \({F}_{ROH}\) inbreeding based on runs of homozygosity
  2. 5th and 95th percentile inbreeding was calculated for each trait in males and females separately
