Parameter1 | OF | HC | Ratio | Statistics |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hatchability (%) | 95.3 ± 0.44 | 94.8 ± 0.49 | 0.90 (0.82–0.97) | = 6.69, P = 0.0097 |
Unhatched eggs (‰) | 35.7 ± 3.93 | 36.6 ± 4.03 | 1.03 (0.93–1.13) | = 0.30, P = 0.59 |
Second grade chicks (‰) | 11.6 ± 0.93 | 16.1 ± 1.17 | 1.38 (1.18–1.63) | = 15.9, P < 0.0001 |
Response estimates are back transformed model means, and the effects are shown as odds ratio (OR [95%CI]) for hatchability and rate ratio (RR) for unhatched eggs and second grade chicks,comparing HC with OF.
