Excerpts

Our results show an evident trend that the piglets of the first parity sows inseminated by the D boars were characterized by the highest LW at weaning and the highest ADG (birth–weaning).

The lowest total Gram-negative bacteria was recorded in fish fed with 17 g/kg of dietary fumaric acid, as estimated by regression analysis, and showed an increasing trend after this level in the final trial.

However, the number of cracked/broken eggs were not noticeable in both groups during consistent egg collection, and the hatchability of mutant eggs was almost the same with that of WT eggs in our previous study [ 18 ], indicating these reduction rates of the eggshell parameters caused by the MSTN mutation may not be practically significant.

Although all main effects were non-significant, the interaction term Conservation Status × Species Appeal certainly approached significance ( Table 3 ).

p < 0.05 or p < 0.01 indicates significant or extremely significant differences. 3.

The elevation of serum VLDL in TT hens may attribute to an increase in demand for VLDLy assembly, since it was detected that TT hens had an increasing trend in production performance in our study.

Contact Rate Contact rate (i.e., the avg number of contacts observed between v.carp and s.carp per hour during each serial experiment of Trial 2a) had a decreasing trend with dpe in Trial 2a.

CyHV-3 viral loads in v.carp gill and kidney tissues in Trials 2a and 2b had an overall trend of increasing with time.

Additionally, in the unrelated individuals ( Figure 2 ), He showed a decreasing trend in the last two periods, which was more evident in the period 2011–2019.

Nevertheless, considering all the horses, related and unrelated (all potentially breeders), a small trend towards some decrease in heterozygosity in the last ten years was recorded which was not strong enough to generate concern at this moment in time.

The total population showed significantly different Ho and He (0.692 and 0.734, respectively), resulting to significant deviation from HWE (Mean P-val 0.001; Figure 1 ), as expected in a population including related individuals, with eight loci being highly significant P-val ( Figure 1 ).

Results were considered significant at p < 0.05 and highly significant at p < 0.01. 3.

Among them, 20 fatty acids changed significantly, and two fatty acid showed a trend toward significance.

The accepted p was ≤0.05, whereas a p between 0.05 and 0.1 was considered as trending toward significance. 3.

At the same time, a recent genetic study showed that errors in pellet field identification might be significant [ 11 ].

The average F was low, and an increasing trend was reported (0.001% in the historical population and 0.002% in the current population) although highly inbred animals have historically been and currently are present in the population (maximum F of 33.26% and 26.66%, respectively).

While the association of time of capture and lactate was not statistically significant, Figure 2 does showcase a strong trend, indicating the value of this relationship and a convincing case for further study with a larger and more robust sample size.

Based on this information, the authors were concerned that the exposure to the adverse consequences of road transport to horses might be significant.

[ 31 ] found a significant trend for cases submitted in the winter to be diagnosed with C. perfringens type A, enterotoxigenic E. coli , rotavirus and Cystoisospora suis .

Meat color is also related to muscle pH, with a negative trend between the light reflecting properties of meat and pH [ 39 ].

Digestive Enzyme As for intestinal digestive enzyme activity, only amylase activity presented a clear trend with significant results ( Figure 2 ).

In this trial, neither SOD nor MPO were significantly different; however, there appeared to be a slight trend of upregulation.

A stable trend of this species is reported in Greece for the years 2007–2010 and an increasing trend for the period 2011–2014 based on the European Breeding Bird Atlas 2 [ 44 ].

Waterbird species richness indices had a negatively exponential correlation with urbanisation intensity and with the increase in urbanisation intensity; the rate of decline in species richness indices showed a trend of first being rapid and then becoming slower.

A statistically highly significant lower number of colony-forming units of C. perfringens could also be detected in the faeces of fibre group 2 (n = 12), which were collected immediately post partum, compared to the control group 2 (n = 13).
