E/NE, essential to non-essential amino acid ratio.

Data are presented as mean±standard deviation (n = 3).

Different small letter in the same row indicated significantly (p<0.05) different among AAB, 817C, and HLB for breast meat or thigh meat.

Means with different capital letters in the same row indicated significantly (p<0.05) different between breast meat and thigh meat at a same breed.
