  1. ADGB-14 = average daily gain from birth to week 14 post-weaning; ADGW-14 = average daily gain from weaning to week 14 post-weaning; ADG14–22 = average daily gain from weeks 14 to 22 post-weaning; ADG14-MKT = average daily gain from week 14 post-weaning to market; BF = back fat thickness measured at 14 or 22 weeks post-weaning; LD = loin depth measured at 14 or 22 weeks post-weaning.
