Fig. 5

Estimates of heritability and genetic variance as a function of challenge load (CL) based on the linear and cubic spline reaction norm (RN) models for treatment rate in the challenge nursery and across challenge nursery and finisher. Dots indicate estimates from multi-variate analysis with phenotypes under low, intermediate, and high CL treated as different traits. Green vertical lines indicate the 95% highest density interval for the CL. TRT: medical treatment rate; combined TRT: medical treatment rate across the challenge nursery and finisher; both nursery and combined TRT were analyzed based on CL derived from the clinical disease traits across the challenge nursery and finisher
