The concentration of caproate was found to positively correlate with the relative amount of food ground, while exhibiting a decreasing trend ( p = 0.065) following food restriction.

Estrogen concentrations also showed a significant interaction effect ( p < 0.001) and a trend toward significance for a group effect ( p = 0.065).

However, there was a decreasing trend in LDL-C levels in the 3.2% SAP group ( p = 0.065).

In control camel females (CON), correlations between various hormones, cytokines and antioxidants revealed negative relationship between inhibin and T4 (−0.94; p = 0.02), between E2 and P4 (−0.98; p = 0.005), between DHEA and T4 (−0.98; p = 0.003), between P4 and GSH (−0.96; p = 0.009), IL-ß and GSH (−0.92; p = 0.03), and the relationship between FSH and inhibin approached significance (−0.85; p = 0.065).

Enteric CH 4 emissions were lower in CL-CY1 and higher in CL-CY3, with a tendency toward significance ( p = 0.065).

When the analysis was performed using data from the first three training sessions, this tendency for the proportion of interactions with an electrical stimulus to decline over sessions 1 to 3 for electric-fence heifers but not for control heifers further approached significance (treatment × test: F 2,44 = 2.9, p = 0.066; Figure 6 A).

Increased frequency of handling had a borderline significant effect on the hazard of developing URD (HR 0.37; CI: 0.13–1.1; p = 0.066).

In trial II, the difference in fungal counts between the groups was at the limit of significance ( p = 0.0660) ( Table 5 ).

The jejunal villus height (VH) in the 8 mm group showed a trend toward an increase ( p = 0.066), and the ileal crypt depth (CD) was significantly lower ( p = 0.004), with significantly higher digestive enzyme activities in the jejunum and ileum ( p < 0.05).

Cholesterol Amount in Goat Milk The administration to goats of a diet supplemented with 10% OL (on a DM basis) did not induce changes in the cholesterol content of milk ( Figure 3 ), although it should be reported that the p -value associated with this variation showed a trend toward significance as it was lower than 0.1 (0.119 ± 0.009 mg/mL vs. 0.108 ± 0.008 mg/mL in CTR and OL+ samples, respectively; p = 0.066). 3.3.

Avoidance behavior did not change significantly overall across training days but showed a decreasing trend in successful camels (interaction estimate = −0.18 ± 0.10, p = 0.066).

CTLA-4 distribution showed a trend of association with a shorter survival ( p = 0.066) although the difference was not statistically significant.

The three factors of The Monash Dog–Owner Relationship Scale (MDORS) were reflected in the dogs’ heart rate variability and behaviors: the Emotional Closeness factor was related to increased HRV ( p = 0.009), suggesting this aspect is associated with the secure base effect, and the Shared Activities factor showed a trend toward lower HRV ( p = 0.067) along with more owner-directed behaviors reflecting attachment related arousal.

Days 1–35 showed a trend for better FCR in RAC-treated chickens ( p = 0.067).

Nevertheless, the differences in high cholesterol risk approached significance ( p = 0.067), with the highest value in the BSFL group and the lowest in BSFP.

Effects of FBP on Carcass Traits and Organ Index of Spent Hens As presented in Table 3 , compared to the control group, diets supplemented with 0.5% FBP exhibited an increasing trend in the percentage of breast muscle ( p = 0.067) and liver index ( p = 0.077).

Crabs exposed to combined sea bream and food odours (SB + FvC) showed a trend toward reduced selection of the food cue compared to controls (β = –0.93, p = 0.068), while habituated crabs (SBH + FvC) exhibited a similar nonsignificant decrease (β = –0.53, p = 0.41).

Additionally, the prolonged photoperiod group showed a trend of increasing net energy deposition ( p = 0.068) and net energy for fat deposition ( p = 0.052).

However, a slightly significant difference regarding fat tissue content and lean tissue and fluid content was recorded among the treatment groups ( p = 0.068).

No significant differences were identified between males and females; however, females showed a trend ( p < 0.069) toward better performance in the object permanence task.

The excreta of the control group only showed higher crude protein than the FM group; the other groups represented intermediate values with differences approaching significance ( p = 0.069).

Only the breast tissue of the 5% treatment had significantly more n-3 DPA than the control and 0.5% groups, and while higher levels of n-3 DPA were observed in the thigh tissue of the 2.5% and 5% treatments, the difference among the treatments only approached significance ( p = 0.069).

An increasing trend for total antioxidant status (TOS) at the end of the experimental period ( p = 0.069) was observed.

The expression of the pBD-2 mRNA in the EPO group showed a trend toward higher expression ( p = 0.069) compared with the PO group.

Averaging over the periods and treatments, the post hoc tests showed a trend toward wakefulness being higher ( p = 0.069) and resting lower ( p = 0.083) between 15:30 and 19:00, compared to the other two time intervals, whereas SWS was significantly higher at 12:00–15:30 ( p = 0.010) ( Table 7 ).
