However, serum concentration did follow an increasing trend ( p = 0.08), which is consistent with the results of gene expression for the 20 and 30% treatment groups.

An interaction effect approaching significance was observed for T.BIL levels ( p = 0.080).

A GLMM on the summed number of manually counted steps with the same 18 hens excluded (fixed effect of the rearing treatment, IDs of birds nested within pen, and pen nested with rearing treatment and ranging as the random effects) showed a trend for significance (F 2, 7 . 83 = 3.60, p = 0.08), where the post-hoc tests showed the novelty hens stepped more than the control hens. 3.1.5.

Compared with the CON and MD groups ( Figure 5 C), cats in the EF group showed an increasing trend in the abundance of Lachnospiraceae ( p = 0.08); notably, Ruminococcaceae exhibited considerably higher abundance ( p < 0.001).

Chicks in the AALP group exhibited an increasing trend in liver weight ( p = 0.08), but the two groups did not differ significantly in the weights of the pectoralis major muscle, abdominal fat, and spleen.

Notably, total n-3 fatty acid content was significantly higher in the probiotic group ( p = 0.032), largely attributed to increased docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n3), which approached significance ( p = 0.081).

Broiler Performance Compared with Group C, the F/G of broilers decreased in Group M during the starter periods and declined in Group H during the overall periods ( p < 0.05), and the dose group of 150 mg/kg showed a decreasing trend in F/G in the grower period ( p = 0.082).

The goats fed the H diet, having numerically higher DMI (+17%) in comparison with the other two diets but the same milk yield, showed a trend ( p = 0.082) for a higher N retention (% of N intake).

However, the number of stillbirths showed a decreasing trend ( p = 0.082) in the SI treatment group. 3.2.

Additionally, a decreasing trend was observed in serum CAT activity ( p = 0.083).

Furthermore, in the youngest animals (42 dpv), the differences between groups were statistically significant in the ileum (64-fold higher; p = 0.021) and a statistical trend was observed in the jejunum (22-fold higher; p = 0.083). 3.3.

A statistical trend ( p = 0.083) was observed for average daily feed intake (ADFI), showing a decrease in the 540 μm D gw corn diet compared to the 1390 μm diet (55.7 vs. 57.3, g/bird/d).

However, ‘Lying down with head resting on the ground or close to the ground’ showed only a significant trend ( p = 0.0837), and ‘Head position 1‘ and ‘2’, ‘Appetite 2’, and ‘Arched back’ showed p > 0.10.

Vertical impulse showed a trend ( p = 0.084) toward being higher in the forelimbs.

In both groups, no significant difference was observed in AMH concentrations between day 0 and the first FSH injection, though the difference in the treated group approached significance (day 0 3.4 ± 1.8 pg/mL, 1st FSH 2.1 ± 1.0 pg/mL, p = 0.085).

The pattern was reversed for the number of soft taxa, but while the sex differences were maintained ( F 1 = 5.214, p = 0.0230), the differences between the source and treatment islet populations was only marginally significant ( F 1 = 4.327, p = 0.0852).

The TNF-α content in the liver tissue of the sheep in the S3 group showed a decreasing trend compared with the H2 group ( p = 0.086), and the IL-1β and INF-γ contents in the liver tissue of the sheep were not significantly different among the three groups ( p > 0.05). 3.4.

However, a significant trend was observed in the activity of GS between LPS challenge and Gln supplementation ( p = 0.086).

The mortality rate in the 17.0% CP group has an increasing trend ( p = 0.086). 3.2.

The omnibus test did not reach significance ( p ≈ 0.386), although Season showed a trend ( p ≈ 0.086) and certain Host × Season × Area contrasts were significant in pairwise parameter tests, suggesting localized seasonal peaks for some host–area combinations ( Supplementary Table S5 and Figure 4 E).

Nearly significant differences were observed between 4 μg/gbw GnRH-A and 10 IU/gbw hCG ( p = 0.0863) and between 10 IU/gbw hCG and the control with no injection ( p = 0.0964).

Only a trend toward significance was found for ‘end-head’ ( p = 0.088) and no differences for ‘end-stand’ ( p = 0.138).

The responses of male crabs towards the pheromone are longer in normal pH and close to being significant ( p -value = 0.08844, Figure 2 A), and the variance in Figure 2 A is greater at pH 8.2 than in reduced pH conditions.

The interaction between age in months and breed shows marginal significance ( p = 0.0888, at the 10% significance level), suggesting that the slope of the “age–BMD” relationship may vary slightly among breeds ( Table 2 ).

Carcass Characteristics and Meat Quality As shown in Table 6 , pigs fed a corn–soybean meal diet showed a trend of improved marbling scores compared to those pigs fed a diversified diets at the same NE level ( p = 0.09).
