ALKP = Alkaline phosphatase, BUN = Blood urea nitrogen, Ca∶P = Calcium∶phosphorus ratio, CO2 = Carbon dioxide, Corr = Correlation, HS = Hatching success, ES = Emergence success, RBC = Red blood cell.
Using rank regression.
0% hatching and emergence success nests removed from statistical tests (subsequently discussed).
