Values on the diagonal are heritability, above the diagonal are phenotypic correlations, and below the diagonal are genetic correlations. Sha_w Shannon index at weaning, Sha_15 Shannon index at week 15, BF_18 back fat thickness at week 18, BF_22 back fat thickness at week 22, ADGw_14 average daily gain from weaning to week 14, ADG14_22 average daily gain from week 14 to week 22
