¹⁾BW0, BW4, BW8, and BW12 = body weight at birth, at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of age (g); ADG0–4, ADG4–8, and ADG8–12 = average daily gain during 0 to 4, 4 to 8, and 8 to 12 weeks of age (g/d); AGR0, AGR4, AGR8, and AGR12 = absolute growth rate at birth, at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of age (g/wk).

²⁾Mean, average value; SD, standard deviation; Min, minimum value; Max, maximum value; CV, coefficient of variation

^a,bMeans with different letters between chicken sex are different (p<0.05).
