Table 5 Correlations (\({{\varvec{r}}}_{{\varvec{f}}-{\varvec{r}}}\)) of EBV for BWC of birds from the six validation selection flocks obtained from the reduced data with EBV obtained from the full data and their standard error (SE) for different genotyping strategies and proportions genotyped and with or without availability of pedigree on non-genotyped animals in the commercial environment
