Fig. 5

H: breeding goal. The first number in the subscript refers to the weight on the early trait and the second number the weight on the late trait. Base: reference breeding scheme will complete phenotyping and a 2-years generation interval on both the dam and the sire path. Alt: accelerated breeding scheme in which only the early trait is phenotyped on potential dams, while potential sires are also phenotyped on the late trait. Partial phenotyping of the dams enables halving the dam generation interval to 1 year. The curves represent density curves based on the outcomes of each replicate for a given simulation scenario.
