Table 2.

The effect of thoracolumbar vertebral number on carcass length and carcass weight

TLVN	No.	CL (cm)	CW (kg)
18	94	71.06±0.83^aA	23.76±1.02^a
19	494	72.28±0.73^bAB	24.26±0.89^a
20	36	74.21±0.99^cB	24.63±1.21^a

TLVN, thoracolumbar vertebral number; CL, carcass length; CW, carcass weight.

Phenotypic values were shown in estimated marginal means±standard error.

Values with different superscript lowercase letters in the same column were significantly different (p≤0.05).

Values with different superscript capital letters in the same column were highly significantly different (p≤0.01).
