  1. aPredictive ability was measured as the correlations between estimated genetic values (additive genetic values or additive + dominance genetic values) and adjusted phenotypes.
  2. bCADM combining additive and dominance effects, ADM additive and dominance effects, AM additive effects only.
  3. cW12 body weight at the 12th week, EP eviscerating percentage, BMP breast muscle percentage.
  4. A–CWithin a row, estimates without a common superscript differ significantly (P < 0.01), according to bootstrap and Bonferroni’s methods test.
