Note: A valid day must have 75% or greater of the continuously recorded dynamic data passing the quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC). Values outside the parenthesis are combined numbers of valid days for both flocks, and those in the parenthesis are the respective numbers of valid days for flock 1 (before slash) and flock 2 (after slash). ‘-’ means the variable was not monitored for ambient.
