The near-significant reduction in villus height to crypt depth ratio observed in DDYNs (3.75 vs. 4.16, p = 0.058) may reflect differences in intestinal epithelial turnover; however, both values remain within the range considered normal for healthy poultry, and the functional significance of this difference remains unclear.

showed a trendp = 0.06so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

Ducks reared under the DDYN program showed a trend for lower BA (47.4 ± 0.85%, p = 0.06) than those reared under the conventional program (49.29 ± 0.50%).
