Effects of parental dietary linoleic acid on relative organ weights (% of body weight) in domestic pigeon squabs on the day of hatch (DOH), day 7 after hatch (D7), day 14 after hatch (D14), and day 21 after hatch (D21). (A) Heart, (B) liver, (C) spleen, (D) kidney, (E) pancreas, (F) gizzard, (G) proventriculus, and (H) intestine. Relative organ weights (% of body weight) are determined as absolute weight normalized to body weight. Control, control group; LA1%, 1% linoleic acid addition group; LA2%, 2% linoleic acid addition group; LA4%, 4% linoleic acid addition group. Values are means ± SEM of 6 squabs. a,b Means within the same day sharing no common superscripts differ significantly (Tukey test, P < 0.05).
