Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) (n = 20) of three replicates; n represents an individual chicken. Within a column: different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) in females and males, respectively, according to the one-way ANOVA with a least significant difference (LSD) test.
