BW, birth weight; ADG, average daily gain; ADFI, average daily feed intake; F/G; feed to gain ratio; mortality, the number of deaths within chicks and within a particular period of time; EBI, European Broiler Index. Values are presented as the mean ± SD. Means ± SD with unlike superscript letters in the same row are significantly different (p < 0.05). The same letter of the shoulder tag was considered to be not significant.
