Phenotypic means of piglets born alive in first parity (a) and relative mean of still born piglets based on phenotypic observations adjusted for fixed effects of breed indicator, litter number, herd, year and season (b) for all sows included in the current study (5509 sows in RA01, 3926 in RACOM), grouped by their ranges of total born piglets: Low ranges (difference between individual maximum and minimum number of total born piglets is1 to 4 in Range group 1), medium ranges (5 to 9 in Range group 2) and large ranges (≤10 in Range group 3), respectively. Significance of differences at P < 0.0001 in (b) only: Range groups 1: 3 and Range groups 2: 3 in RA01, Range groups 1: 3 in RACOM
