Estimates of genetic correlations from the linear and the cubic spline reaction norm model for average daily gain (ADG, kg/day) in the finisher using challenge load derived from the clinical disease traits across the challenge nursery and finisher. Horizontal and vertical lines on the heatmaps indicate 95% highest density interval for the challenge load; Arrows on the heatmap scales indicate the mean challenge load for the low, medium, and high categories used for the multi-trait analyses
