¹ Chi square test for a single variable between the two breeder categories, i.e., within row comparisons; significance levels: NS, nonsignificant (p > 0.05). ^A–C Observations with different superscripts within the column are significantly different (χ²-test p < 0.01). ^a,b Observations with different superscripts within the column are significantly different (χ²-test, p < 0.05).
