  1. 1Model 1-standard QTL model with covariate birthweight; Model 2-standard QTL model with covariate reference carcass weight, 2Chromosomal location is given as pedigree-specific cM position; first marker on each chromosome was set at 0 cM. Estimated physical position between the flanking markers in Mb is given in parentheses; 3Flanking markers (left or direct and right) of the QTL peak; 4CI-confidence interval; 5F-value is F-statistic for QTL using standard one QTL model; 6a-additive effect; 7d-dominance effect; the direction of additive and dominance effects is given as GG-allele effect compared to NZW, bold values indicate significant effects if the estimate divided by the standard error > 1.96; 8phenotypic F2 variance (%) explained by the QTL; **highly significant at 1% genome-wide level (F-value ≥ 10.0), *significant at 5% genome-wide level (F-value ≥ 8.10); pH45 - pH value 45 min post mortem, pH24 - pH value 24 h post mortem, meat colour45 L*, a*, b* - meat colour traits lightness, redness, yellowness 45 min post mortem, meat colour24 L*, a*, b*- meat colour traits lightness, redness, yellowness 24 h post mortem.
