- All six different CL were fitted as fixed effects in the linear and cubic reaction norm model, but only the corresponding CL was fitted as random animal genetic slope. cNurADG: growth rate in the challenge nursery; FinADG: growth rate in the finisher; cNurTRT: medical treatment rate in the challenge nursery; AllTRT: medical treatment rate across the challenge nursery and finisher; NurCLc: challenge load derived from the clinical disease traits in the challenge nursery; FinCLc: challenge load derived from the clinical disease traits in early finisher; CLc: weighted challenge load of NurCLc and FinCLc; NurCLg: challenge load derived from the growth rate in the challenge nursery; FinCLg: challenge load derived from the growth rate in early finisher; CLg: weighted challenge load of NurCLg and FinCLg; figures in italic characters indicate the greatest genetic slope variance for that trait
