μ_imf/imf, μ_imf/IMF and μ_IMF/IMF = means of imf/imf, imf/IMF and IMF/IMF genotypes in g/100 g muscle, respectively, imf being the Duroc favourable allele; σ_e = residual standard deviation; σ_g = genetic standard deviation; Pimf/imf and Pimf/IMF = genotype frequencies of AA and AB, respectively; LR = likelihood ratio; P = level of significance.
