The phenotypic, genotypic and environmental correlations between birth weight and weaning weight were 0.08, 0.212 and 0.49, respectively. The positive and significant phenotypic correlation indicates that higher birth weights are associated with higher weaning weight. The moderate and significant genetic correlation indicates that genes responsible for higher birth weight were also helpful in increasing weaning weight. The low and non-significant environmental correlation suggests that environment affecting birth weight will not affect weaning weight.
