In contrast, our study only showed a trend for significance in ADG among the treatment groups (lowest: 182 g with 0.2% RPC; highest: 226 g with 0.3% RPC).

In contrast, there was a significant difference in serum triglycerides among the treatments ( p = 0.007) with a clear trend of lower triglycerides concentrations with higher RPC levels ( Table 5 ). 4.

Post-hoc testing of categorical predictors that approached significance were investigated using the “lsmeans” [ 33 ] and “pbkrtest” [ 34 ] packages in RStudio, for continuous predictors, model estimates were evaluated to determine the direction of any effect.

There is a highly significant relationship between an increasing number of lechwe housed and a greater area of outdoor paddock (Q = 0.005) as well as a significant effect of overall intended herd size on the area of the animal’s outside paddock (Q = 0.01).

The fatty acid content and n-3/n-6 ratio showed a decreasing trend with increasing H. illucens larva meal inclusion.

Statistical significance was accepted from p < 0.05 and a statistical trend was considered when 0.05 < p < 0.1. 3.

An increasing trend in the abundance of the phylum Firmicutes and a decreasing trend in the abundance of the phylum Proteobacteria in response to BLFP supplementation were observed.

A total of ten highly significant SNPs are associated with fat and protein, but no threshold significant SNP is associated with MY ( Table 2 , Figure 3 ).

The influence of age at slaughter was always statistically highly significant in relation to all meat yield traits.

Transformation on relative BV (RBV) was conducted using this formula: (6) RBV = ((BV − mean BV )/SD BV × 12) + 100 A positive trend is apparent in traits related to quantitative expression of meat yield, particularly those related to body size (CDG, CW and BW) in the case of both methods.

Due to this near-significant result in combination with the limited sample size of this analysis, it was decided to use the Kruskal–Wallis test and Wilcoxon Rank Sum test for this variable as well.

Notably, glucose content exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing X1 enzyme dosage (200, 400, 600 mg/kg) ( Figure 3 D), which may be attributed to trace amounts of Aspergillus niger spores present in the solid-state-fermented X1 enzyme preparation ( Figure 3 D).

Nevertheless, we have observed a clear trend of no repellent application and therefore, we have decided to evaluate the data to disseminate the findings so that, in the future, roe deer fawns will not continue to be killed by agricultural machinery due to an ineffective protection method and to encourage the use of alternative measures such as thermal-imaging drones or habitat management. 5.

Cats that were initially identified as more nervous around humans also showed a trend towards giving longer total slow blink movements in response to human slow blinking.

The intestinal score of the CPEA_EO350 group showed a decreasing trend compared with the CPEA group. 3.3.

At 48 h post-thaw, there were no significant differences in re-expansion rate among all the groups, although the FBS + L-carnitine group showed a trend toward a higher re-expansion rate than those in the FBS (82.7 and 63.5%, respectively) or BSA (76.0%) groups.

Although not statistically significant, brain levels of 22:6n-3 (DHA) exhibited an increasing trend with rising salinity, with the lowest and highest values at 2 and 60 ppt, respectively ( Table 4 ).

In this study, the excretion of nitrogen in feces was lower than that in urine, but both showed a decreasing trend with an increase in the oat hay content.

The nutrient digestion and metabolism results showed that, with an increase in the content of oat hay in the diet, the intake and apparent digestibility of dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) showed an increasing trend, and the intake, digestion, and stability of acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) increased in the OHG.

With an increase in rumen digestion time in the MG, the OTUs showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, while those in the OHG first increased and then decreased.

However, the group supplemented with L-carnitine showed a decreasing trend in backfat thickness, loin muscle area, GR value, and shear force.

The loss function exhibited a decreasing trend throughout the training process, converging around the 233rd epoch ( Figure 5 C).

The same analysis conducted only on the descriptors of the meows that had been correctly assigned to their context showed a clear trend of meows emitted during brushing to cluster on the left side of PC1, whereas meows emitted in the isolation context are scattered on the right side and those emitted while waiting for food are in an intermediate position, with a trend to cluster on the left ( Figure 3 a).

With regards to cats’ vocalizations, Nicastro and Owren [ 44 ] reported only a small gender effect that approached but did not reach significance; similarly, Tallet et al.

In all statistical analyses, p < 0.05 indicates significance and p < 0.10 and ≥ 0.05 indicate a tendency toward significance When multiple comparison tests were carried out for selected variables, the Bonferroni correction method was applied [ 30 ]. 3.
