aNumber of abnormal findings based on 3 individuals from each of 6 replicates per treatment per sampling day.
bReported P-values are for the Type 3 analysis of the effect of camelina cake inclusion from the LOGISTIC procedure, based on proportional incidence of pathological conditions (#pathological/total).
