| Ross (n = 30) | Lohmann Dual (n = 30) | df | p-Values | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | SD | Mean | SD | |||
| Carcass weight (g) | 2182.5 | 131.3 | 1415.7 | 126.7 | 58.0 | <0.0001 |
| Breast weight (g) | 549.1 | 50.2 | 179.6 | 20.6 | 38.6 | <0.0001 |
| Leg weight (g) | 596.9 | 38.6 | 440.9 | 41.3 | 50.1 | <0.0001 |
| Breast yield (%) | 25.1 | 1.3 | 12.7 | 0.8 | 58.0 | <0.0001 |
| Leg yield (%) | 27.4 | 1.2 | 31.2 | 1.1 | 58.0 | <0.0001 |
