(Two-way mixed ANOVA.) Notes: n, number of puppies; weight of puppies according to category (Q1, 126–226 g; Q2, 227–330 g; Q3, 331–387 g; Q4, 388–452 g); AB, after birth; least-squares mean ± standard error. a,b,c: different superscripts among columns indicate significant temperature differences between puppy’s weight groups at the same time. 1,2,3,4,5: different numbers among rows indicate significant differences between times in the same puppy’s weight group.
