Multiplicity of birth bodyweight (bBW) and its influencing factors.
| Breed (Mean ± SD) | BMD Males vs. Females (Mean ± SD) | TT Males vs. Females (Mean ± SD) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double | BMD: 10 ± 0.3 d TT: 8.7 ± 0.2 d |
p = 0.0004 | Males: 10.6 ± 0.4 d Females: 9.5 ± 0.3 d |
p = 0.0486 | Males: 8.5 ± 0.2 d Females: 8.8 ± 0.2 d |
p = 1 |
| Triple | BMD: 18 ± 0.4 d TT: 14.3 ± 0.3 d |
p < 0.0001 | Males: 18.6 ± 0.6 d Females: 17.3 ± 0.4 d |
p = 0.1993 | Males: 14 ± 0.3 d Females: 14.7 ± 0.3 d |
p = 0.4356 |
BMD = Bernese Mountain Dog; TT = Tibetan Terrier; d = days, significant = p < 0.05.
