- Only one corresponding CL was fitted as fixed effect in the linear and cubic spline reaction norm model. CL: challenge load; RN: reaction norm; 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; P-value for cNurADG was based on FinCLg and P-values for FinADG, cNurTRT, and AllTRT were based on CLc because CLc was the best CL for these three traits. P-values for the linear model were based on comparison of the linear reaction norm model with the standard model without random slope term. P-values for the cubic spline model were based on comparison of the cubic spline reaction norm model with the linear reaction norm model. 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; figures in italic characters indicate the greatest genetic slope variance for that trait
