However, the highly significant lower Ym values observed for the CC and CB treatments in comparison with the CO treatment could be explained by the antimethanogenic effect of the condensed tannin in the experimental herbs despite numerically higher DMI and GEi observed in these treatments.

A more pronounced increase was observed from 2015 to 2020, with an increase from 24 to the 43 articles included in the present study, which follows an evident trend of expansion in investigations about animal temperament/personality.

Acetate showed only a decreasing trend in the HCwk2 ( Table 1 ).

p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant, and p = 0.01 considered extremely significant, statistically. 3.

p < 0.05 (*) was considered significant, and p < 0.01 (**) was considered extremely significant. 3.

For instance, for the haplotypes clustered together considering the αS1-casein sequence GAGAAATCGAGAGAGCGA, it was not possible to define a clear trend in the association with milk yield, although statistically significant differences were found.

The same situation was found for the somatic cell counts, where a decreasing trend in a widely variably context was found.

We noted only an increasing trend in the winter milk, associated with the cows’ calving period; this was also confirmed by Kul et al.

Animal carers also need to consider the potential impacts of inter and intra-observer variability on scoring which may be significant when statistical methods on group data are not used to smooth out variability.

Unless otherwise stated, significance was declared at p ≤ 0.05, and tendency toward significance at 0.05 < p ≤ 0.10. 3.

A positive trend in Lactobacillus abundance was determined for both groups.

Unfortunately, recent research found a marginally significant decrease in use of drop-in centers among youth experiencing homelessness with dogs [ 119 ], suggesting that changes are needed to ensure that this group can access these essential services.

Interestingly, when we compared the same trait across different age groups, a decreasing trend was found in heritability from 6 to 12 months.

Overall, the mean correlation coefficient of the five statistical models was 0.402 all of which were highly significant, indicating that the genomic prediction of body weight was accurate. 4.

The number of founders, ancestors and herds over 4 periods of 5 years ( Figure 11 ) shows a decreasing trend and, consequently, some genetic bottleneck in the population.

In an initial experiment, we found that just 10 of 30 fearful dogs in the control group passed the SAFER test, whereas 23 of 30 fearful dogs in the treatment condition passed, a difference that was highly significant [ 100 ].

Significant differences were declared at p < 0.05, and extremely significant differences were declared at p < 0.01. 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.

The relation between the development of the digestive system and the increase in wide of the fish (high PC2 value) could explain why the fish that had been fed with the diets with higher proportion of microalgae (R5 and H5) always had a higher PC2 value than the H2.5 and R2.5 fish at all sampling points, being this difference highly significant between H5 and H2.5 after 90 days of feeding.

Except for C:N in CH 2 O-preserved newborns (Adj R 2 > 0.384), the models were highly significant (Adj R 2 > 0.9; range = 0.894–0.999).

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.
