a-dIn the same column and breeds, different lowercase letters meant significant difference (P < 0.05); the same lowercase letters meant no significant difference (P > 0.05).
The repetitions (n) of motility assessment = 27. The repetitions of fertility and hatchability assessment = 12. Abbreviations: F, FEB; B, BPSE; L, Lake; LR, Lake and Ravie.
