Table 5.
Association between haplotype combinations and litter size in Small-tailed Han sheep.
| Haplotype Combination (n) | Litter Size (Mean ± S.D.) | p Value |
|---|---|---|
| H1H1 (87) | 1.70 ± 0.82b | 0.0284* |
| H1H2 (214) | 1.97 ± 0.81a | |
| H1H3 (17) | 1.76 ± 0.75ab | |
| H2H2 (83) | 2.02 ± 0.78a | |
| H2H3 (14) | 2.21 ± 1.05a |
Note: S.D. in table headers denotes the standard deviation of litter size; H1denotes CG; H2 denotes TT; H3 denotes CT; a, b within the same column with different superscripts means p < 0.05; *p indicates the significant association at the significance level α = 0.05.
