Trait = weight at 6 weeks (W6W), weight growth slope (WGS), body length (BL), percentage of CD8+ cells (%CD8+), ratio between CD4+ and CD8+ cells (CD4+/CD8+).
σ²_u: additive genetic variance ; σ²_c: variance due the random environmental effect of cage; σ²_e: residual variance; h²: heritability (standard error, SE, in brackets).
