In bold are the windows harboring strong associations (Bayes Factor > 20) for both response variables
^a Represented by chromosome (Chr) and physical position (in Mb) (Chr_Mb and Chr_Mb:Mb)
^b Proportion of genetic variance explained by each 1-Mb window
^c Ensembl Database UMD3.1 and QTLdb database (represented by Chr_Mb and Chr_Mb:Mb)
^d Previous studies reporting QTL regions and/or candidate genes related with growth traits that are next or within the windows found in this study
