It seems more likely to us that a unit of trait decline will confer some proportional increase in risk of mortality or decrease in reproductive performance.
Units for trait studied are following: FD (scale), TSS (°Brix), Firmness (N: newton), PPO (change in A420/g/minute), AsA and polyphenols compounds (concentration).
Economic values per trait unit using tasted meat samples were −0.78 € for shear force (SF), 57.52 € for intramuscular fat content (IMF), −0.43 € for meat color (COL) and 14.65 € for drip loss (DL).
Europa Barbarorum II is also scheduled to include new government, unit recruitment and trait systems, and new playable factions including the kingdom of Gandhara, which will have its own Sanskrit voicemod.
The estimates for the parent-of-origin effects (λ1) in the QPL represent the log odds that a heterozygous child inherits a maternal copy of the variant allele instead of a paternal copy, per unit increase in trait value.
Salicornia ramosissima shows, in general, a more compact growth form than S. dolichostachya, with more branches of the stem and thus more biomass per unit volume, a trait that might be advantageous for commercial cultivation, as may be the fact that S. ramosissima is usually found under drier and less-saline conditions than S. dolichostachya.
asubstitution effect expressed in trait units (F1 = composite variable in arbitrary units; LES = cecal lesion score in arbitrary units).
asubstitution effect expressed in trait units (F1 = composite variable in arbitrary units; HEMA = hematocrit level in %; LES = cecal lesion score in arbitrary units; PC = plasma coloration in optical density units; T° = rectal body temperature in °C; WG = body weight gain in %).
The individual pig was used as the experimental unit for all traits except for feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and standard deviation within pen for several traits, where the pen was the experimental unit.
