Excerpts

A fall in the occurrence of parasitic disease in comparison with the preceding period was a positive trend.

The differences in the occurrence of pathological changes between the given categories were statistically highly significant ( p ˂ 0.01).

A significance level of p < 0.05 was used in all comparisons, and p < 0.1 was considered to be marginally significant. 2.5.

Increases in FCMs due to PET procedures or SD in activity wheels were also highly significant, while visual assessment scores did not indicate elevated stress levels and body weights remained constant.

Haemolymph taurine did not show a clear trend with leaching time for both diets.

Fatty pig breeds, as Mangalitsa, are characterized by a marked trend for fat accumulation and are usually considered adequate animal models to better understand the fattening processes, obesity and metabolic disorders, the Iberian breed being the most studied one [ 53 , 54 , 55 ].

Economic Efficacy Gradually replacing FM with plant protein had a highly significant effect on the economic efficiency.

In the current study, we detected no significant differences in the fertilization potential of zebrafish (AB strain) oocytes aged in vitro at 26 °C for up to 2 h after stripping, although we did note a decreasing trend during this period.

For example, our LDP method, while indicating an increasing trend with increasing illumination, found a similar number of WVCs during 0–10% illumination and 50–60% illumination.

Our findings indicated a significant trend of increasing WVC frequencies with increasing LDP at night.

In our study, the RBC count remained unchanged during storage and the MCV showed a trend similar to that of Hct (a significant decrease at the 14th day and a significant increase, reaching the basal levels, at the 35th and 42nd days).

[ 17 ] found that although there was no difference in the insect count in shaded and unshaded areas, horses showed a trend toward more insect avoidance behaviour (head movements and hoof stomping) in the shaded area.

The impact on natural behaviour, of clinical signs such as lethargy or lameness, is likely to be significant.

The reported percentages of pathogens resistant to cephalosporins, ciprofloxacin, or gentamycin among patients indicate an increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance in hospitals [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].

Based on the highly significant differential expression patterns, genes that might play a role in regulating performance-dependent tolerance to nematodes include Guanylate Binding Protein 7 ( GBP7 ), Riboflavin kinase ( RFK ), and interferon regulatory factor 4 ( IRF4 ).

In this study, Bartlett’s significance is at a value of p = 0.000, which is highly significant because it means that the null hypothesis can be rejected and thus there is a correlation between the variables.

Interestingly, stimulation with TGF-β did not statistically significantly impair the ability of moMΦ to respond to these stimuli, although a clear trend was observed for IL-6 and IL-12 responses.

Stimulation with 20 ng/mL of TGF-β did not statistically significantly impair the ability of moMΦ to release IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, and TNF-α in response to either LPS or Pam2Cys lipopeptide, although a decreasing trend was observed for IL-6 and IL-12 in response to both stressors and for TNF-α in response to the TLR2 agonist ( Figure 5 ). 3.4.

Table 2 shows the prevalence of owner-reported pica, and the Cochran’s Q tests results reveal highly significant associations between the age of the cat and the behaviours exhibited towards all four material types.

The remaining relations were statistically highly significant.

Deep Inflammation As observed for the superficial inflammation, the deep inflammation parameter showed a decreasing trend throughout the experimentation.

A p -value of <0.05 (*) was considered significantly different and a p -value of <0.001 (***) was considered highly significant. 3.

A p -value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant, whereas p -values ranging between 0.05 to 0.1 were considered to indicate a trend towards significance. 3.

The negative correlation coefficient for the food conversion ratio observed in this study is barely significant, such that an insignificant difference to the control is the conservative approach to be concluded.

The Spearman correlation, r, is considered to be fairly significant at (≥+/−0.3–<+/−0.5), moderate with (≥+/−0.5–<+/−0.7), strong with (≥+/−0.7–<+/−0.9), and substantial with (≥+/−0.9–+/−1.0). 3.
