Table 3. Reproductive performance of control, irradiated and selenite treated females.
Groups | Fecundability | Fecundity |
Control | 100% | 8.8 |
IR | 20% | 1.65a |
SS | 100% | 8.75b |
SS/IR | 100% | 8 |
Fecundability was expressed as a percentage of pregnant females among mated females. Fecundity was expressed as the number of pups per mated females. Fecundity values represent the median; they were compared by Kruskal-Wallis’s test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparisons as a post-hoc test, and differences were considered significant when P<0.05. a or b: Significantly different from control or radiation group, respectively at P<0.05.
